Joe Sinnott, Witting Partners and host of the Energy Detox Podcast, joins The Crude Life founder Jason Spiess to talk about how mental health is part of the oil and gas industry.
From the early days of “throwing some dirt” on your mental health issues to actual programs companies are installing into their company culture.
Sinnott and Spiess also discuss the mental health impacts of a company “using” an employee for marketing purposes – i.e. Women’s History Month or Minority Month. Themed months can become a tricky employment marketing plan as highlighting someone’s interests, genders and cultures once a year can open up new conversations for the other 11 months of the year.
Mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and act. It also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make healthy choices

Mental Health Awareness Month has been observed in May in the United States since 1949. The month is observed with media, local events, and film screenings. Mental Health Awareness Month began in the United States in 1949 and was started by the Mental Health America organization.
The Crude Life celebrates and honors all struggling with personal demons and those attempting to better their mind, body and soul. All energy has a purpose and we are all energy.
Sinnott gives a boots-on-the-ground update from the Marcellus Utica with an update on the Shell Ethane Cracker Plant.
Sinnott said despite efforts of transparency and communication, the plant is facing some PR hurdles with flaring and environmental activists. (The day after the interview with Sinnott, Shell was served legal papers and was sued by a local environmental group.)
The “cracker” plant, located along the Ohio River about 30 miles (48 kilometers) outside Pittsburgh, opened in November and uses ethane from a vast shale gas reservoir underneath Pennsylvania and surrounding states to makes polyethylene, a plastic used in everything from consumer and food packaging to tires.
Clean Air Council, it alleges that operator Shell Chemical Appalachia LLC, a subsidiary of British oil and gas giant Shell plc, is violating state and federal limits on smog, as well as emissions limits in its state-approved operating plan.
The company had projected to spend $6 billion on the refinery, which took years to build. At full capacity, the plant is expected to produce 3.5 billion pounds (1.6 billion kilograms) of polyethylene annually.
