Landman: The difference between TV and reality
In this week's Powering the Permian, ABC Big 2's Chris Talley had the opportunity to find out what exactly is the role of a Landman is in the Oil and Gas industry and how it compares with the role as seen on TV.
He also highlights the Energy and Land Management Program at the University of Texas Permian Basin – teaching the next generation of Landmen, and one student's story on his path of pursuing the role. This comes after a re-direction in his career path for the UTPB Senior.
to watch the on-air version of Powering the Permian and hear from UTPB Senior Parker Goin on his path to become the next Landman.

proteanTecs Launches Solution for System Production Analytics Based on Chip Telemetry
BUSINESS WIRE)--proteanTecs®, a global leader in deep data solutions for electronics health and performance monitoring, today unveiled a revolutionary solution for system production testing that combines embedded on-chip telemetry with an ML-driven analytics engine, introducing deep data sources and insights that were previously inaccessible under today's current production methods. To learn more, download the white paper here. Bridging the silicon-system gap, this telemetry reveals how the chip behaves within the system context, not just in isolation. Share As system companies integrate increasingly advanced chips onto their boards for high-performance markets such as AI, Cloud, Telecommunications, and Automotive, the complexity of system production continues to rise. Ensuring quality, performance, and lifetime reliability, while minimizing test costs and production time has become a significant challenge. proteanTecs enables first-ever parametric visibility during functional test, enabling real-time insights when software meets silicon. It allows system vendors to detect hidden failures, such as power integrity, thermal, and assembly faults as well as optimize performance, and improve power efficiency, at scale and in real time, bridging the longstanding gap between silicon and system behavior. At the heart of the solution is a hardware-embedded monitoring system that uses on-chip Agents to capture deep data throughout the production lifecycle. It is combined with a cloud-based analytics platform and edge-deployed ML models for inline test decisions from new product introduction (NPI) to high-volume manufacturing (HVM). 'Our embedded HW monitoring system serves as a sophisticated monitor for the system, capturing critical telemetry. Together with a dedicated software stack, system quality, power consumption, and performance are significantly improved,' said Evelyn Landman, proteanTecs co-founder and CTO. 'We deliver the first-ever deep parametric visibility during PCB, Module, and System functional testing – under actual workloads and configurations.' Built to accelerate system bring-up and in-depth characterization, proteanTecs simplifies debug and helps teams identify root causes faster – providing critical feedback to design and production test teams and ensuring better system readiness for volume production. During mass production, the solution provides ongoing, cloud-based monitoring and analytics to improve production efficiency and quality. It supports population-based analysis to track trends, anomalies, and system behavior across large volumes, enhancing quality and reliability. 'Bridging the silicon-system gap, this telemetry reveals how the chip behaves within the system context, not just in isolation,' added Landman. 'It provides a new layer of data – not derived, not inferred, but monitored directly from within the chip.' 'Today's rapid adoption of complex AI, hyperscale computing is stretching traditional system production methods beyond their limits,' said Uzi Baruch, Chief Strategy Officer at proteanTecs. 'We're transforming test from a static, reactive process to a predictive, data-driven workflow that adapts to each device's actual behavior. This empowers teams to move beyond oversimplified worst-case assumptions and into an era of precision performance tuning and quality assurance.' The solution is already deployed by leading system vendors – delivering measurable return on investment, underscoring its value as a critical enabler of modern production excellence.

Bentley CEO: Tariff uncertainty remains despite UK deal. Plus: A new gas-powered car.
Bentley (VWAGY) CEO Frank-Steffen Walliser finds himself in control of the luxury British brand at a remarkable time. He has been at the helm for about a year since his predecessor left for rival Aston Martin (AML.L). There's been a transition from gas to hybrid, with all-electric on the horizon. But the big issue facing the brand, a unit of Volkswagen, is trade with its most important region: the US. The UK negotiated a 10% tariff with the US, one deal that the government said meant duties were "immediately slashed." Reports suggest the EU is also looking to secure a 10% across-the-board tariff. However, the original tariffs President Trump announced on "Liberation Day" remain in place, with the UK government indicating a resolution could come soon. Walliser said that for that reason alone, the brand is still in limbo. "It's not finalized," Walliser said, adding that planning for the automotive sector is usually done in years, whereas now Bentley is working month to month. Meanwhile, Walliser said, Bentley will price-protect all cars purchased through the end of June, and all customer-ordered cars will continue to be shipped and delivered. Further inventory will remain in the UK, however, until the US-UK trade deal is finalized with what appears to be a 10% tariff. "We are also prepared to feed new cars back to the market in the moment where we have clarity on the tariff situation," he said. The tariff uncertainty arrives as the company is coming off a tough year. Revenue was down 10% to 2.65 billion euros ($3.06 billion), with its return on sales (a version of profit margin) down to 14.1% from 20.1% in 2023. Why the slump? Bentley is in the midst of electrifying its product range, so introducing new models and sunsetting older ones partly explains the sales drop. Nonetheless, the company said demand remains strong, with "healthy order intake" and positive reception of its new models. The brand is also having a moment in pop culture, with characters in hit shows "Yellowstone" and "Landman" driving Bentley models that are hard to miss. One of the cars that Walliser and Bentley are excited about is a new version of the Bentayga SUV, the company's top-selling car. The Bentayga Speed is the fastest, most powerful version of that SUV yet. Interestingly, it comes with a turbocharged V8 — and it's not a hybrid. "I would say it's one of the last cars with that type [of powertrain]. There's also an opportunity to create something very unique. This is definitely not a mainstream car," the Bentley CEO explained. Walliser indicated that customers were asking for a car with this type of pure, gas-powered motivation, but the future of the brand stands with hybrids and, eventually, all-electric propulsion. Bentley originally planned to go all-electric by 2030. But like many brands, its plans have changed for a variety of reasons, like cost and customer appetite. Walliser said Bentley's first pure EV will be revealed later in 2026 in an all-new form factor, likely a sportier or compact SUV. "It's our fourth model line, so we are adding something to the business and not replacing a car. So that gives a lot of opportunities," he said. "Also, it's a more compact car ... It will be a very modern interpretation of it, maybe one of the best Bentleys ever." For Bentley, hopefully it is. That's because Bentley owners seem more than happy with the current gas-powered models. Pras Subramanian is the lead auto reporter for Yahoo Finance. You can follow him on X and on Instagram.
