01 · What you pay
Zero license cost for 4 weeks
WellOPS is free for the duration of the pilot. We cover integration engineer time, model setup, and daily check-ins. You cover your team's time. Most pilots close out at zero out-of-pocket.
Free Trial · 4-week pilot · risk-sharing terms
Pick the metric that matters. Run a 4-week pilot at no license cost. If your number does not move, you owe nothing.
We deploy WellOPS on whatever data you have. The statistical physics models score wells by risk to cash flow, environmental risk, failure risk, and personal-safety risk. The Work Engine puts the ranked plan in the truck cab by 6 AM. Pick one primary metric (cash flow per BOE, OPEX per well, deferred-production capture, drive miles, or TRIR) and we move it in 4 weeks, or we walk away.
One-page pilot terms · below VP signing authority · SCADA optional, not required
The terms, in three cards
No license cost. One page of terms. Move the metric or walk away.
02 · What we commit to
Move your number, in writing
Pre-pilot baseline. Weekly delta. Final written report signed by your VP Operations. The metric moved or it did not. We do not get to argue with the number after the pilot is done.
03 · What happens if it does not work
You owe nothing. We hand back the data layer.
Walk-away discipline is real. We unhook the read-only integrations, you keep the baseline measurement, and the pilot ends. No long-tail contractual cleanup, no cancellation fee, no stranded data.
Pick the metric that matters
One primary metric. One secondary. Written down before week 1.
We refuse vague pilot success criteria. Pick the number you are paid to move. We will tell you, before week 1 starts, the realistic 4-week range we expect to move it. If we do not think we can move your number in 4 weeks, we will say so on the first call and not run the pilot.
| Metric | 4-week target move | How |
|---|---|---|
| Cash flow per BOE | +5% to +15% in 4 weeks | Statistical physics models surface deferred-production wells first. Workover and intervention queue is reranked by intervention payback. The highest-dollar problems get pumped, every shift. |
| OPEX per well | 15% to 35% reduction | Route Optimizer cuts low-value site visits. The Work Engine consolidates work at the best stop. Same crew, fewer trips, more done. |
| Deferred-production capture | $0 to a real recurring number | Wells flagged by the priority model that were not on the prior daily plan get worked. The recovered barrels are reconciled against the accounting system monthly. |
| Drive miles per crew per week | 20% to 40% reduction | Route Optimizer routes by value-density, not distance. The most profitable route, not the shortest. Lone-worker time on the road drops as a side effect. |
| TRIR (recordable incident rate) | Trend down, not a 4-week proof | JSA automation, lone-worker context, contractor-qualification gates, and weather-aware dispatch run inside Field Work Management. The 4 weeks proves the workflow; TRIR moves over quarters. |
| Time-to-close on field work orders | Days to hours | Ranked work in the truck cab by 6 AM. Mobile capture, offline-capable. Closeout happens in the field, not the next morning. |
Have a different metric in mind? Bring it to the discovery call. If we can model it, we will commit to it.
How the 4 weeks run
Week-by-week, no slideware. By week 2 the ranked plan is in the truck cab.
- Week 0
Pre-pilot baseline (the week before week 1)
- Pick the metric. One primary, one secondary. Written down before pilot starts.
- Pull the baseline. We measure your current number from your accounting system, your dispatch logs, your SCADA history if you have it.
- Sign the one-page pilot terms. Below VP signing authority. No MSA.
- Week 1
Stand up the data layer
- Data Hub connects to your accounting system, your SCADA / historian (if you have one), your dispatch tool, your asset register.
- Statistical physics model ingests your well list, lift type, basin, operating envelope. First ranked queue inside 5 business days.
- Pilot crew gets the WellOPS mobile app. 2-hour training session, in person or remote, your choice.
- Week 2
Ranked plan in the truck cab
- First production-mode ranked daily plan delivered by 6 AM, every shift.
- Route Optimizer live for the pilot crew. Drive miles tracked from day 1.
- Daily check-in with your superintendent. Anything wrong with the rank, we fix the model that day.
- Week 3
Tune and harden
- Model tuning round 2. We add the rules your senior pumpers know that did not show up in the data.
- Field Work Management goes live for the pilot crew: JSAs, lone-worker, contractor qualification, MOC.
- First read on the metric. Weekly delta vs. baseline shared in writing.
- Week 4
Read out and decide
- Final read on the metric. Written report. Signed by your VP Operations.
- If the number moved, we present the rollout plan and the pricing band. You are not obligated to sign.
- If the number did not move, you owe nothing. We hand back the data layer, you keep the baseline measurement.
What is in, what is out
Honest scope. Pilots fail when the scope is fuzzy. Ours is not.
In scope · what we will deliver
- WellOPS Work Engine, Field Data Capture, and the mobile app for one pilot field or one basin (your choice).
- Read-only Data Hub integration to one accounting system (Enertia, Quorum, Pak, W Energy) plus SCADA/historian if you have one.
- Statistical physics-based prioritization model tuned to your wells, your basin, your operating envelope.
- Route Optimizer for the pilot crew (typically 5 to 30 pumpers / lease operators).
- Up to two onsite visits in the 4 weeks, plus daily check-ins with your superintendent.
- Pre-pilot baseline: we measure your current number on the chosen metric so the lift is not in dispute.
- Post-pilot readout: written report, signed by your VP Operations, that the metric moved or it did not.
Out of scope · not part of the 4 weeks
- No FlowSync engineering work in the 4 weeks. Different product, different scope, different conversation.
- No CMMS replacement. We integrate with what you have (Maximo, MaintainX, eMaint), we do not rip it out.
- No accounting system replacement. Read-only integration, nothing pushed back.
- No multi-basin rollout. One basin or one field, focused. Multi-basin starts after the pilot signs.
- No production rerouting, no commercial decisions automated. Recommendations only, your team approves.
- No long-form contract, no master services agreement to sign before week 1. Pilot terms fit on one page.
Who this is for
We say yes to the pilots we believe will work. We say no to the rest.
You are a fit if
- ✓200 to 5,000 wells under operation, upstream or upstream + midstream.
- ✓You have an accounting system we can read from (Enertia, Quorum, Pak, W Energy, or similar).
- ✓You have a superintendent or VP Ops who can be the daily point of contact for 4 weeks.
- ✓You can name one primary metric you are paid to move. SCADA optional.
- ✓You are open to running ranked work (not philosophically committed to manual rank).
We will say no if
- ✕Well under 200 wells with simple ops. Greasebook or PakEnergy Scout is the better tool.
- ✕You want a CMMS replacement, not pump-by-priority. Talk to us about WellOPS Field Work Management standalone, but it is a different conversation.
- ✕You cannot dedicate a superintendent to the pilot for the 4 weeks. Without that contact, the model does not get tuned and the pilot stalls.
- ✕Your primary metric is something we cannot model in 4 weeks (TRIR, for example, moves over quarters, not weeks).
- ✕You need a 12-month MSA before any work starts. The pilot terms are one page; the MSA conversation comes after the pilot signs.

Common questions
The questions every operator asks before week 1.
What does "no license cost" actually mean? Is anything not free?
WellOPS license is free for the 4 weeks. We cover our integration engineer time, model setup, and the daily check-ins. You cover your team's time (the pilot crew, your superintendent, the data person who points us at the accounting system) and any travel cost if you ask us onsite more than twice. Total out-of-pocket cost for most pilots is zero.
What if my number does not move? Do I really owe nothing?
You owe nothing. We hand back the data layer cleanly, you keep the baseline measurement, and the pilot ends. We have run this play repeatedly; the metric moves in roughly 9 of 10 pilots, but if yours is the one that does not, the walk-away is real. The reason we can offer this is the statistical physics model is the part that does the work, not a slideware deck.
I do not have SCADA. Can I still run a pilot?
Yes. WellOPS does not require SCADA. The statistical physics-based models prioritize wells using your accounting data, your dispatch logs, and lift-type physics. The model also recommends where SCADA investment would pay back fastest if you decide to add it later. Greasebook customers and PakEnergy Scout customers run pilots with us all the time on no-SCADA setups.
How big does my operation need to be?
The pilot economics work from roughly 200 wells up. Below 200 wells with simple ops, the lift is real but smaller, and you may be better served by Greasebook or staying on whatever capture tool you have. Above 5,000 wells, the pilot scope stays the same (one basin or one field), and the rollout plan after the pilot is the larger conversation.
Do I need to swap out my CMMS, my accounting system, or my SCADA?
No. WellOPS is integration-first. Data Hub is read-only into Enertia, Quorum, Pak, W Energy, OSI Pi, Cygnet, Ignition, AVEVA, Maximo, MaintainX, eMaint, Peloton WellView, ESRI ArcGIS. We do not push anything back to your accounting or CMMS during the pilot. Net effect: zero risk to your existing systems.
How long until the ranked daily plan is in the truck cab?
Week 2. The model needs roughly 5 business days to ingest your well list and produce a first ranked queue. That queue runs in shadow mode for a few days while your superintendent compares it to the manual rank, and then it goes live in the truck cab by 6 AM every shift starting around day 8 to 10.
Who actually works on this from your side?
A small team: one integration engineer, one production engineer who tunes the physics model to your wells, and one founder-level point of contact for the duration. No army of consultants. The product does the work; the team makes sure it is tuned to your basin.
What if I am evaluating you against Greasebook or JOYN?
Run all three pilots, ours overlapping is fine. The honest pitch: Greasebook is excellent at field data capture and pumpers love it; JOYN is the rules-based exception engine on the W Energy stack. WellOPS is the statistical physics-based pump-by-priority platform with a Work Engine, financial-aware ranking, and end-to-end equipment management on top. Same price band, more under the hood. Read our 6-vendor matrix at /best-pump-by-priority-software-2026 if you want the side-by-side.
What happens after the 4 weeks if it works?
We present a rollout plan and a price band before the pilot closes, so you are not negotiating from scratch. Pricing is per-module and per-asset (no per-user fees), rounded to the nearest $5K, and almost always below VP signing authority. Typical mid-tier producer (500 to 5,000 wells) lands between $35K and $95K per year for the WellOPS modules they actually use.
Can I see what the ranked plan looks like before I commit to a pilot?
Yes. Book a 30-minute discovery call and we will walk through a ranked plan on data from a comparable operator (anonymized) and on a small slice of your data if you can share a CSV. No pilot required to see the output.
Start the 4 weeks
One primary metric. One basin. Four weeks. We move it or you owe nothing.
Tell us your wells, your accounting system, and the metric you are paid to move. We will come back inside 24 hours with a 4-week scope and a price band for what comes after the pilot, before the pilot starts.
