The New Normal (for us anyway)
Jul 01, 2020 in Web News
We are pleased to roll out a new look for our website this month thanks to Matt Griffin with Six House Design. Although we appreciated the classic look of our old website (also designed by Matt), we recognize that a fine line exists between "classic" and "dated" and we may have crossed it without realizing it. (In our defense, we weren't wearing our readers)
I'm sorry Dave, I can't let you draw that

The march to fully automate the oil field has made yet another stop at the Spear Brothers Group. Now, in addition to our systems for accounting and document management we are adding Enverus MineralSoft to the mix - a comprehensive mineral and land management platform. After we have completed onboarding, we are looking forward to experiencing an improved ability to evaluate offers and investments, a new set of tools to manage revenue and a marked drop in the practice of hand-drawing property maps from complex legal descriptions. An overall positive impact is anticipated to the collective psyche of the group; however, long-held emotional ties to coloring grids with highlighters may prove difficult to break.

Oh No, They Didn't

Overheard in a recent SBG staff meeting: "What are these two companies you are talking about? I have never heard of them." Reply: "Well, to tell you the truth, we forgot we had them." (Future staff meeting agenda item: "Intervention") #INCADDICTS
Turning Over New Leaves in 2017
Nov 01, 2017 in Web News
Change was certainly in the air at SBG in 2017. Oil prices, staff and responsibilities all fluctuated significantly but have now settled comfortably like wind-blown leaves in autumn often do - and at about the same time. Early in the year, Lori graciously agreed to step into the role of SBG's Office Manager, a position that came with big shoes to fill after the resignation of long-time employee and friend, Cami. Additionally, new administrative responsibilities fluttered into Nancy's role which she thankfully did not choose to sweep away, but rather embrace. So we end this year extremely grateful for the 'pile of leaves' now resting comfortably under the SBG tree. (Incidentally, our Safety Officer strictly prohibits any jumping in it)
