AI for Upstream Operations

A ranked daily work plan in every truck cab by 6 AM,scored on cash flow and risk.

The agentic operations stack purpose-built for mid-tier upstream operators. Live across 5,000+ wells in three basins. 15% free cash flow uplift on the same headcount, on the same production. No rip-and-replace. Below VP signing authority.

The math problem

A 26-operator team chooses from 10699 possible daily routes.The probability they find the optimal one is, for all practical purposes, zero.

With 1,800 active wells and 26 operators, each operator is responsible for around 69 wells. A typical shift is 22 site visits. The number of ways one operator can choose 22 wells out of 69 and visit them in some order is roughly 7.4 × 1026. Across 26 operators making independent choices, the team picks one combination out of approximately 10699. The observable universe contains 1080 atoms. Your team is picking from a search space 10619 times larger.

No human shift can solve a problem that size. The fix is a constraint-based optimizer that ranks tasks by economic impact, applies safety and qualification constraints, and assembles a ranked plan in seconds. The pumper still drives the truck. The foreman still makes the calls a human has to make. The agent does the math no human shift can do.

How fast it actually runs

90 days from spreadsheet to ranked work loop

  1. WEEK 0Scope. Define the success metric, the baseline, who owns it. Not the vendor. The VP Ops whose number it is.
  2. WEEKS 1–2Integration window. SCADA tap (read-only). ERP / CMMS / GIS schema mapping. Reconciliation against historical data. Validation and go-live for the first basin.
  3. WEEKS 3–4Ranked plan in the truck cab. Field crews start receiving the morning plan at 6 AM. Foreman calibrates the scoring. Override rates fall through Week 4 as the model learns the basin.
  4. WEEKS 5–6Measure + executive readout. Compare against the Week-0 baseline. Authorize Phase 2 expansion or course-correct.
  5. DAY 90Board readout. Four slides: what we said, what we delivered, what changed in the field, what Phase 2 looks like. Continued investment decision in 30 seconds.
