Oil & Gas

A topic Kyle began researching in his June 29th, 2021 Roam “Quick Capture” reading log (an Index Ventures-era reading session). The saved sources point specifically at the oilfield services layer of the industry — a Wikipedia list of oilfield service companies and an Investopedia oil & gas industry overview, alongside two private Google Drive documents. The companion stub Oil & Gas Service Business 2.0 suggests the angle Kyle was exploring: not the commodity itself but a modernized take on the services businesses that support extraction. Beyond the saved links the capture has no written synthesis, so the specific thesis is not attested.

Context: “Oilfield services” refers to companies (e.g. Schlumberger, Halliburton, Baker Hughes) that provide drilling, equipment, and technical services to oil and gas producers, rather than owning the reserves themselves — a distinct, often more capital-light slice of the energy value chain.
