Doug Terreson on Chuck Yates Needs A Job

Chuck Yates Needs A Job

Doug Terreson’s story is pure energy industry legend—literally. From directional drilling in the Gulf of Mexico to calling the shots on Wall Street, this guy has done it all. He’s the brain behind the “Era of the Supermajor” thesis that sparked mega-mergers in the late ‘90s, and his knack for bold predictions—like the "Golden Age of Refining" and nailing the 2020 energy market rebound—cemented his spot as a top energy analyst. With a career that’s spanned hands-on rigs, high-stakes privatizations, and managing billion-dollar funds, Doug’s insights are anything but ordinary. You’ll hear about his no-BS approach to restoring discipline in the industry and how his blend of field smarts and financial wizardry shaped the modern energy world as we know it.
