If you missed the Golden State Warriors’ NBA Championship win last week, or an unbelievable putt at the U.S. Open this weekend you can always see it on ESPN’s SportsCenter. But what if you missed the most recent RBN School of Energy? Well, you’re in luck — we’re now offering 11 hours of video from SOE, which unlike other natural gas, crude oil or NGL conferences covers all three markets with hands-on course work. In each of the seven streaming-video modules, we drill down on an important aspect of the markets, explain how it works and provide spreadsheet models accompanied with instructional videos. Fair warning: Today’s blog is an unabashed advertorial.
Since RBN’s first School of Energy (SOE) four years ago, the conference has received rave reviews from attendees for its comprehensive approach to explaining today’s complex, highly interconnected hydrocarbon markets, how they fit together and affect each other and how to anticipate what’s coming next. To make all this information and analysis easier to take in and absorb, we break the conference into sessions — and we do the same with our newly available video of SOE, breaking it into seven modules, beginning with an intro module on Fundamentals (Module #1), five modules (#2 through #6) that focus on specific elements of the markets — Production, Natural Gas Markets, Crude Oil Markets, Natural Gas Liquids, a Production Economics Deep Dive and a concluding module (#7) that — as its title suggests — tells you “What It All Means.” In the paragraphs below we provide the details of the content contained in each of the modules, and at the end of this blog we’ll talk about pricing and discounts.
Module #1: Fundamentals

About the song
“Nothing Compares 2 U” was written by Prince and appears as the sixth song on Sinead O’Connor’s second studio album, I Do Not Want What I Haven’t Got. Released as a single in January 1990, it went to #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 Singles chart and has been certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). The song was originally written by Prince for his side project, The Family, and appeared on their 1985 album, The Family. The lyrics examine feelings of loneliness from the point of view of an abandoned lover. “Nothing Compares 2 U” earned O’Connor a Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Performance in 1991. Personnel on the record were: Sinead O’Connor (vocals, keyboards), Kieran Kiely (piano, keyboards), and Nellee Hooper, Chris Birkett, Fachina O’Ceallaigh and Sinead O’Connor (programming, production, mixing).
I Do Not Want What I Haven’t Got was recorded in 1988-89 at S.T.S. Studios in Dublin with Nellee Hooper and Sinead O’Connor producing. Released in March 1990, the album went to #19 on the Billboard 200 Albums chart and has been certified 2X Platinum by the RIAA. Four singles were released from the LP.
Sinead O’Connor was an Irish singer, musician and songwriter. She was an outspoken advocate for human rights and spoke often about issues such as child abuse, women’s rights, racism, and organized religion. She released 10 studio albums, one live album, five compilation albums, one EP and 54 singles. In July 2023 O’Connor was found dead at her flat in South London at the age of 56. We at RBN offer our sympathies to her family, friends, and fans.
