When Renee Helmer’s husband Richard was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2016 — the same year a business deal collapsed and their international contracts dried up — she made a decision that changed both their lives. A former stay-at-home mom and schoolteacher with zero oilfield background, Renee walked into Helmer Directional Drilling (founded by her father-in-law in 1965, once the largest directional drilling company in the Gulf of Mexico) and became its VP within days. Two weeks of crash-course training later, she was driving herself into the Permian Basin to sell directional drilling to a room full of insiders.

In this episode, Renee talks candidly about Richard’s 11-year journey with Parkinson’s — the symptoms most people don’t know about (cognitive decline, “locking up,” loss of voice and confidence), the treatments they’ve tried (levodopa, deep brain stimulation, light therapy, hyperbaric chambers), and why the Permian Basin’s elevated Parkinson’s rates have her paying closer attention to emissions and flare-to-fuel technology. She also shares how Helmer Directional closed during COVID, how she rebuilt as Helmer Oilfield Products and Services (Helmer Ops) doing business development for oil and gas startups, and the moment she realized “common sense” isn’t as common as the industry assumes — a lesson that’s shaped how she thinks about safety ever since.

It’s a conversation about resilience, caregiving, and the unglamorous work of learning an industry from scratch — with a little Cajun cooking and a lot of heart along the way.

In this episode:

The rise and 2020 closure of Helmer Directional Drilling
Living with Parkinson’s disease: symptoms, treatment options, and caregiving
Why the Permian Basin sees elevated Parkinson’s rates
Flare-to-fuel technology and Permian Basin infrastructure gaps
Breaking into the Permian as the only woman selling directional drilling
Miss Helmer’s Whiskey Wednesdays
What “common sense” safety training really requires
Renee’s own podcast, What Will Renee Say Today?

The entire U.S. Gulf Coast region has been affected by Hurricane Harvey and the subsequent flooding due to the massive amount of rain dumped on the region.
In an effort to provide information and support for those affected by the storm, the Oil and Gas Global Network has come together for this special report on Hurrican Harvey.
This special report of Red Wing’s Oil and Gas HSE Podcast includes two members of the Oil and Gas Global Network Team, Jake Corley of the Oil and Gas This Week Podcast and Paige Wilson of the Oil and Gas Industry Leaders Podcast, who share their unique perspective and information on the storm.
As residents of the Houston area, we have seen the devastation caused by Hurricane Harvey first hand but were very lucky not to have lost as much as a great number of our neighbors. The Oil and Gas Global Network has started a GoFundMe page to help with the relief efforts and would appreciate anything our OGGN family can spare.

Even with regular maintenance, every piece of equipment used in the oil and gas industry needs to be inspected. Unfortunately, the need to inspect equipment often puts personnel in hazardous situations, especially when tank entry is involved.
The Oil and Gas HSE Podcast had the opportunity to talk with Mark Wilson of EM&I about how they are not only providing their services around with asset integrity inspection but doing it in a way that is making the industry safer.
As a company that pioneered rope-access tank inspection, EM&I is now the largest proponent of NoMan remote tank inspection that removes the need for personnel in tanks.
Mark’s experience as an unlimited tonnage captain gives a unique perspective in the asset integrity sector of the oil and gas industry.

The Oil and Gas HSE podcast is giving a voice to the people!
In our new segment, the Oil and Gas HSE Mailbag, we will be answering questions and discussing topics important to our listening audience.
One of the primary purposes of the Oil and Gas HSE Podcast is to provide information that will help our listening audience perform their jobs in a safe and efficient manner. This new format will allow Mark and Patrick to cover a wide variety of topics related to health, safety and the environment in the oil and gas industry once a month, and continue with our deep dive interview format the rest of the time.
Today’s discussion covers topics such as:

* defining risk tolerance: How do you know that all of the hazards have been properly assessed and mitigated?
* Ground water contamination: Is drilling a serious issue or is it all media hype?
* Why do incidents increase the longer someone stays in the same role and how do companies break this cycle?
* Is methane release an issue in the oil and gas industry?
* How do you prevent “lightning-strike incidents” from happening?

In my experience working on deepwater drilling rigs around the world, drilling waste or cuttings have always been something you have to deal with when drilling a well; the more you drill, the more cuttings.
Scott Energy Technologies has found a way to treat drilling waste and turn it into a usable, and environmentally friendly building material that operators are using to build their next pad-site or a road for the entire lease that reaches multiple drilling, pumping, and storage locations.
If you work on the drilling side of upstream oil and gas, this episode has some valuable information to save your operation money and reduce your impact on the environment using a waste product common to any drilling location around the world.

On this episode of Red Wing’s Oil and Gas HSE podcast, we have a returning guest from Dooley Tackaberry, this time talking about fire protection equipment and systems.
Fire protection equipment isn’t the sexiest topic in the oil and gas industry, likely because it is often thought of as an expense; an expense in installation, maintenance, and repair. But when you consider the risks associated with most of the jobs we do in the oilfield, it is an expense that should be taken seriously.
Dooley Tackaberry (“DT”) has an extensive history in the distribution of fire and safety equipment to the Oil and Gas industry and Municipal Fire Service market. Founded in 1925 as Arthur Dooley & Son and after acquiring the assets of The Tackaberry Company in 1987 changed its name to Dooley Tackaberry.

Red Wing’s Oil and Gas HSE Podcast is hitting the road.

The guys from Knowledge Vine are back for a three-part series discussing human performance improvement.
In this first part, we talk about the importance of buy-in at the executive level of any business. Human performance improvement for a lot of organizations means a shift in culture, which cannot happen if top level management is not “bought in” to the process.
David Bowman and David Sowers, of Knowledge Vine, gave us some actionable steps when starting down the path of human performance improvement; the first of which is identifying the gap (or variance) between what management expects and how the front-line employees actually operate.
This episode is focused on the executive level management of your organization, while the following two episodes will be geared towards the operations management and finally the front-line employees.
This is great series that will give any organization actionable steps to making human performance improvements in their organization.

Red Wing’s Oil and Gas HSE Podcast was live at The Offshore Technology Conference, OTC 2017, in Houston, Texas. For anyone in our listening audience who hasn’t heard of the Offshore Technology Conference, OTC “is where energy professionals meet to exchange ideas and opinions to advance scientific and technical knowledge for offshore resources and environmental matters.”
“OTC ranks among the largest 200 trade shows held annually in the United States and is among the 10 largest meetings in terms of attendance.”

This is a special episode that was recorded in two parts: The first segment was recorded live from OTC 2017 at the Red Wing booth in the main exhibition hall at NRG Stadium where Mark and Patrick spoke with Red Wing’s Tito Warren.
The second segment of this episode was recorded live from National Oilwell Varco’s annual shrimp boil, where we spoke with NOV’s Tom Yoast about technology that is making the job of drilling well’s safer for the personnel operating the equipment with their Stand Transfer Vehicle (STV).

Mark and Patrick head back to the offices of the National MS Society to talk with Tim Church, HSE Director for Statoil and captain of their BP MS150 cycling team and Barron Lozano, head of the Ride Marshall Program with the BP MS150.
Statoil’s commitment to safety extends far beyond the job site; they sponsor the Ride Marshall Program for the BP MS150 and has won the BP MS150 Gold Safety Award for four straight years. They do this with a team made up of not only Statoil employees but friends and family members, some of whom don’t even work in the oil and gas industry.
The 33rd Annual BP MS 150 begins on Saturday, April 29 from three start line locations in the Houston area, and finishes in front of the Bob Bullock Museum near the State Capitol in Austin on Sunday, April 30, following an overnight celebration in La Grange. The ride will connect an estimated 11,000 riders, in addition to thousands of volunteers, sponsors, donors and supporters, as they embark on a shared journey to drive awareness and raise $16 million.
The BP MS 150 is a fundraising event, not a race, and therefore is attractive for novice and experienced cyclists. If you would like to know more or make a tax-deductible donation to the National MS Society, you can do so at bpms150.net.

Protecting the environment is one of the top priorities for the oil and gas industry. Procedures are written to ensure leaks and spills don’t happen, and contingency plans are put in place and practiced the minimize the effects should the unlikely event of a spill occur.
The cleanup process for a spill can, in some cases, cost more than the project itself. And we’re not just talking about oil and other hydrocarbons, saltwater contamination can be just as devastating to an ecosystem.
This episode of Red Wing’s Oil and Gas HSE Podcast focuses on the remediation methods used to return spill sites back to their original condition.
Russell Stewart of Environmental Recovery: Oilfield Services & Consulting does a deep dive into the science behind saltwater remediation and how his company not only protects the environment but the reputation of the oil and gas industry as a whole.

The oil and gas industry is more than just getting hydrocarbons out of the ground and into the hands of consumers. The oilfield is a community built on hard work and helping others. The National Multiple Sclerosis Society has been part of this community since 1984 and raised more than $240 million to support MS research, programs and services that are changing the world for people affected by MS.
We sat down with Justin Martin with the National MS Society and Micah Love, one of the MS Ambassadors, to talk about the BP MS 150 Houston to Austin Ride, which is one of more than 80 Bike MS events across the country and is the National Multiple Sclerosis Society’s largest fundraising event.
BP America has been the title sponsor of the BP MS150 since 2001 and, along with Team BP, has raised nearly $17 million to support the Society’s mission. BP supports the communities where its employees live and work and is committed to serving as title sponsor of the BP MS 150 through 2018.
The 33rd Annual BP MS 150 begins on Saturday, April 29 from three start line locations in the Houston area, and finishes in front of the Bob Bullock Museum near the State Capitol in Austin on Sunday, April 30, following an overnight celebration in La Grange. The ride will connect an estimated 11,000 riders, in addition to thousands of volunteers, sponsors, donors and supporters, as they embark on a shared journey to drive awareness and raise $16 million.

“Human Performance Improvement (HPI) creates a set of behavior standards to perform work in such a way that the results are safe, efficient, consistent and repeatable. Generally, we know what to do next; HPI helps us understand how to do it so there are no surprises and no unwanted consequences.”
Patrick and his guest co-host Paige Wilson sat down with David Bowman to talk about human performance and how Knowledge Vine is improving safety metrics by addressing the most common cause of incidents in any industry: Human Error.
The people that make up the oil and gas industry are what make this industry great! Keeping those people working safely is a struggle that the oilfield has been steadily improving on over the past several decades. As far as we’ve come, there is still a lot of room for improvement. That is where Knowledge Vine comes into the picture.

The Oil and Gas HSE podcast talks about one of the most important aspect of safety in the offshore drilling environment: BOP reliability.
Garry Davis is the President of BOP Risk Mitigation Services (BRMS) where they have worked with drilling contractors, major oil and gas operators and federal regulators, for almost a decade, developing the technology to quickly and clearly troubleshoot and predict BOP faults.
Because subsea well control equipment spends most of its time on the ocean floor, under thousands of feet of water, it is critical that all of the critical path and auxiliary components function properly. BOP equipment failures, most often due to human error, lead to major losses of time, money and unfortunately sometimes the loss of life.
The BOP troubleshooting and simulation tools, along with the training BRMS provides can dramatically increase the reliability of not only you in service well control equipment but the people you put in charge of such vital equipment.

If you work in oil and gas, you know the name National Oilwell Varco (NOV). They are often referred to as the “toolbox of the industry,” and for good reason. With all of the equipment and specialty tools they make, and the vast number of service technicians they send to sites around the world, you’re likely to see more than a little of their trademark red around the oilfield.
NOV has grown by capturing market share with innovative technology and acquisitions of several of the smaller players in the industry. With all that growth, you would think their safety record would be one of the worst in the industry, when they actually have one of the best.
In our discussion with NOV’s Chief Marketing Officer David Reid andChief Health Safety and Environment Officer Bill Crabbe, we learned that their secret comes from trusting and respecting their employees to make the right decisions when if comes to safety, and creating a family culture that encourages employees to look out for each other.

What is 5S:
As mentioned in the show, 5S stands for Sort, Set in order, Shine, Standardize and Sustain. The process is part of the visual workplace and is intended to improve efficiencies and safety by keeping everything organized for quick and easy access. Most US companies go as far as promoting good housekeeping or have a clean desk policy, but 5S goes beyond those requirements.
