Talos Energy, based in Houston recently entered into a joint project with two other energy companies: Premire Oil based in London, England, and Sierra Gas and Oil based in Mexico. The three companies have started drilling offshore in Mexico on May 21. This latest venture is Mexico’s attempt to help stimulate their flagging state economy.

This is the first well not maintained by the state run “Petroleos Mexicanos” since 1938. Named “Zama-1“, the well, which is situated off the coast of Tabasco, is expected to hold between 100 to 500 million gallons of crude oil according to Premier Oil. The cost of drilling is expected to be around $16 million and take around 90 days to complete. The trio of businesses won this bid in 2015 when the government of Mexico first opened contract bidding. As the first non governmental well drilling in Mexico in almost eighty years, this a project is being closely watched by industry insiders and is a “high rate of geological success” according to reports.

Premier Oil holds a 25% share of this project, Sierra has a 40% share, and Talos, who is overseeing the drilling, holds a 35% share in the well project. Talos Energy was started by Tim Duncan and his partners after the successful sale of Phoenix Exploration, an energy company. With the sale of Phoenix Exploration Mr. Duncan and his partners had the capital of $600 million dollars for the startup of Talos Energy.

Mr. Duncan and his partners have had a good year with a successful drilling in Mexico. So much so that they are hoping to make another expansion of employees. In the past year the number of employees at Talos have went from 15 to 120. Mr. Duncan keeps an open door policy at Talos where all ideas are considered. Employees also hold a percentage of the stock in the company. A fact which has endeared the employees to Talos. To read more about this up and coming company, please click here.

There is little doubt that fighting cancer is nothing easy to do. It is difficult on the patient, and it is never fun for the clinicians involved either, not to mention the families hit by these devastating blows. However, now there exists a new means of caring for patients, a way that is helpful to both the patients and their clinicians alike. What could this possibly be?

Thanks to the alignment of three companies (Cancer Treatment Centers of America, Allscripts, and NantHealth) there is now a program that assists clinicians and makes life somewhat easier for patients afflicted with cancers. This is called eviti, and this allows real time progress as well as a slough of other important additions to combating the fight against cancer. It brings more confidence to everyone involved and helps make for more positive results.

This could not be possible if not for Cancer Treatment Centers of America. This company, which is headquartered in Florida, serves adult patients fighting cancer and is made up of a network of five hospitals. The other locations are found in Atlanta, Chicago, Philadelphia, Phoenix, and Tulsa, but do not be fooled; they help people from all over the world using new found technology and information to make the quality of life for their patients as positive as possible all the while doing their best to come with the cure.

Cancer Treatment Centers of America uses the motto “care that never quits” which is evident not only in how they treat their patients, but also in the fact that they are always open to talking to new patients as well, as it can be seen on their website they have an online chat and phone number that are always open to be used for discussing their program.

Simply put, they care.
