Most large oil companies require their employees to have some ethics training every year, which is usually quite broad and often dry. Texas Board of Professional Geoscientists (TBPG) licensees are also required to have one hour of ethics training every year. This talk will fulfill that requirement for the year. Although I do not have a degree in philosophy or jurisprudence, I have been an international explorationist for over 34 years and witnessed/heard many situations where individual or business ethics are tested. Please join me as I review my findings and understandings of ethics as taught though Google University and then applied to our industry. I will explore the difference between moral compass and ethics and how this relates to business ethics. Come and hear how Machiavelli, Hunter S. Thompson and ethics are related, and join in a spirited discussion about the “grey areas.”
