#QualityMatters Ep 135 – Small Business – Oil & Gas – Mark LaCour of OGGN
We're back! We apologize for the pause in new episodes for #QualityMatters, but we're back! Today we're diving into a topic that Kyle is very passionate about, the role of small business in Oil & Gas here in America. The simple fact is, the super majors like Chevron and Exon do not play near the role in Oil & Gas extraction for the average American as small business does.

The role of newly evolving ESG “Environmental – Social – Governance” requirements is placing additional requirements on small business. But this is not all bad news. The small businesses and teams that are prepared to implement, and quickly and more efficiently than the larger or otherwise slower counterparts are in a great position to dominate their space and stay competitive.
