Knowledge for the Field
Practical playbooks, case studies, and field notes from our work modernizing oil & gas operations.
Proven in Live Operations
Results validated across a 5,000+ well operation in the Western Anadarko Basin in a live field deployment.
Safety Moments
Field-engineering deep-dives on the hazards that hide inside routine upstream work. Written to be read at a tailgate, sent to a supervisor, or read aloud before the task that the public record says is most likely to kill the next worker.
Nine workers died during manual tank gauging or sampling between 2010 and 2014, every one of them working alone. NIOSH measured benzene at open thief hatches over 2,000x the recommended exposure limit. The API 12F tank that sits behind n...
Vehicle incidents kill more upstream oil and gas workers than any single on-site hazard. The industry has spent two decades making the drive safer, and those controls work. But they all assume the trip happens. The first-order question h...
On October 26, 2019, two people died at an Aghorn Operating waterflood station outside Odessa. The U.S. Chemical Safety Board final report names seven independent failures that aligned in a single afternoon. None of them felt critical al...
Use Cases
Same platform, very different jobs. Each of these ran against a live operator; the outcomes listed are the ones they walked away with.
Instead of pumping on a schedule, crews run the wells the Work Engine says will move the most barrels that day. Tanks breathe; gauge calls drop; trucking catches up.
Outcome: inventory cut by 70%, fewer stuck wells, no extra headcount.
AI drafts the JSA; the crew edits it by voice. An agent pulls the relevant engineering assessment and the right section of the technical manual before the first bolt comes off.
Outcome: JSAs take minutes, not the drive in. The safety conversation stays on the truck.
We helped an operator scan a 40,000-node gathering system to find the bottleneck no engineer had time to hunt down manually. Thousands of scenarios, parallel, against their live hydraulic model.
Outcome: constraint identified in under 24 hours; debottlenecking plan on the same page.
An operator closed an acquisition and needed to absorb 30% fewer field staff without losing coverage. We rebuilt the daily route and shifted to dynamic dispatch tied to value density, not geography.
Outcome: the same asset ran with 30% less headcount; no production drop in the first quarter.
We pointed our production, facility, and pipeline model plus the asset framework at a post-production cost file. The numbers didn't line up with what the pipe could physically do.
Turned out the midstream counterparty had an accounting error. We recovered the value with deductive proof; no lawyers, no shouting match.
Outcome: $4,000,000 in lost recovery pulled back. Same model now runs every month as a back-check.
