On a budget line, WellOPS reads as CMMS + Prioritization Engine + Work Management + Field Data Capture + Accruals: the five things it consolidates from your existing stack. The six capabilities above are how the platform delivers them. DataHub (the data foundation, included with the platform) and FlowSync (live engineering models) are supporting capabilities of the same platform story.
Exception, and the rung above it
Pump by exception and pump by priority are widely treated as the same thing. They are one step apart.
Pump by exception
Finds the problems.
A list of wells that broke a rule, in the order the rules fired. A 5 BOPD nuisance and a 200 BOPD production loss arrive with the same urgency. (Illustrative pair.)
Pump by priority
Prices them, ranks them, and routes them.
The same two wells carry dollars per day at risk, sit in their true order against every other open job in the field, and land in a drivable day with the reason attached to the stop.
WellOPS is the best Pump by Exception platform in oil and gas because it does not stop at the exception. It is one operating model with three names, depending on where you are standing: management by exception is the discipline, pump by exception is how the oilfield has run it, and pump by priority is the version that prices what it finds.
You want to raise the bar, you need the best platform.
The productized rollout
We productized what the supermajors built by hand. Pump by priority, in weeks.
WellOPS is the product version of a stand-up that Tier-1 operators built by hand with internal data teams and multi-year programs. It is configured, not built: your thresholds, your priorities, your visit cadence, your equipment classes. It ships with a repeatable two-week sprint playbook, acceptance gates your foremen sign, and the team that has carried this rollout past every failure point before.

What WellOPS delivers
The ranked plan in every truck cab by 6 AM.
Don’t leave value on the table.
Crew A’s day, sequenced
7 stops · 2h 39m driving · $10,331/d
Drive is modelled inside a synthetic field, not measured on real roads. Synthetic demo data, generated.
The routing math is field-validated: a 12-month, 5,000-well, three-basin deployment cut miles driven 35% while lifting free cash flow 15% on the same crew.
What a field team member opens at 6 AM.
The morning route, the stop in front of you, and the site you are standing on. Work is recorded where it happens, and the reason a site is on the list travels with it. Screens rendered from a synthetic field: Synthetic demo data, generated. No customer data, no real geography, no real operator.
Inside the score
What the engine does to your data.
What goes in
OT data
- SCADA tags and alarm history
- Historian trends per tag, per well
- Runtime, cycles and pump-off events
- Tank levels and haul history
- Well tests and manual gauges
Read-only, pulled on your credentials, validated and de-spiked before anything is scored.
Financial data
- Realized price by stream, on your deck
- Working interest and net revenue interest
- Lifting cost and controllable LOE
- Parts, labor and vendor cost history
- Deferred production against forecast
This is what turns a flag into a dollar figure instead of a severity color.
Operational context
- Equipment classes, plans and PM clocks
- Regulatory deadlines and permit windows
- Crew qualifications and certifications
- Yard positions, lease access and drive time
- Prior close-outs, overrides and reason codes
The constraints that decide whether the highest-value job is the one that can actually be worked today.
Six stages, and the last one is why it compounds.
Deviation, not thresholds
A dollar figure on every flag
One ruler for every class of work
Solved into a day, not a list
Closed at the wellhead
Fed back into the model
The governance that makes the ranking survive contact with the field.
Scoring is the easy half. These are the mechanics that keep the queue trusted in month six, which is where ranked-work programs usually come apart.
A flag can be disputed
A flag can be deferred, with a reason
Every item stays visible
The plan shows its reasoning
The override is a feature, and it is data
The judgment stays with the person at the well
The first step
The first step is one Tuesday. Not a six-month commitment.
- 01Day 1
You send the data.
One week of SCADA, your work order log, and the cost ledger for one field. Read-only. We pull from the systems you already run; no rip-and-replace.
~90 minutes of your data engineer.

How the platform is built
One platform. One ranked work loop.
That loop is the fastest way to implement management by exception on the wells you already own. It is productized and cloud-hosted, and it runs on the systems you already have. Fit-for-purpose. Plug-and-play.
Before
Routes by habit, alarm floods, a months-deep backlog, and a morning meeting that assembles the plan.
After
Every well ranked daily by dollars and risk, and the plan already in every truck by 6 AM.
Five components, and two execution surfaces that put the loop in the truck cab
01 · The supporting data foundation, included
DataHub
One validated operational picture under every ranked plan.
Read-only connections to your SCADA, historian, ERP, production accounting, and well master. Pulled, validated, and reconciled into a single picture of the field, so every score downstream stands on data your engineers can trust. Pull is quick and stays clear of your control network. Push is earned separately: write-back runs through a staging table your production accountant reviews, and allocation stays authoritative.
Your systems of record stay your systems of record. WellOPS wires the missing links. DataHub ships with the platform: a supporting capability, with the platform story staying on WellOPS.
02 · The prioritization engine
Work Engine
Every job priced in dollars, ranked on one ruler, routed to the right person.
The Work Engine takes OT data, financial data, and the rest of your operational record and stitches them together into closed-loop prioritization. Every well is scored against what it should be doing this week, not against a threshold somebody set two years ago. Each flag is priced as production at risk per day of inaction at your working interest and your price deck, then proactive maintenance, reactive anomalies, safety work and regulatory work compete on that one number. The reason a job ranks where it ranks travels with the job.
A 5 BOPD nuisance and a 200 BOPD production loss stop looking alike on the screen. (Illustrative pair.)
03 · The equipment maintenance module
Equipment Management
The easiest maintenance module to configure, and the most meaningful once it is.
Configuration is three objects: equipment classes, the plans that hang off them, and the thresholds that trigger them. You do not need a perfect equipment hierarchy first, which is the requirement that stalls a traditional CMMS for a year. If a field team member knows the equipment is there, they can log against it, and the hierarchy fills in from the work. Meaningful is the other half: plunger changes, stuffing box greasing and meter calibrations are the maintenance that never reaches a traditional CMMS, and here they are scheduled by deadline and site value together. The unit of optimization is the site stop, so nobody is dispatched for a grease gun alone.
A greasing job on a high-value well outranks the same job on a stripper well. Automatically.
04 · Embedded, not parallel
Safety Management
The paperwork happens where the job happens.
JSAs, permits to work, and lone-worker check-ins digitized and attached to the work itself, so the evidence rolls up on its own. Risk-based visits, compliance rounds, and regulatory work are ranked in the same queue as production work, not in a parallel system that competes with it. High-risk work holds until the safety steps are signed, and a missed lone-worker check-in reaches the right person in minutes.
Permits carry a clock that reaches someone before it runs out. Lone workers carry a check-in that escalates on its own. High-risk work holds until the safety steps are signed.
05 · Cost truth at close-out
Financial Accruals
Booked with the work, not at month-end.
Parts and labor captured at close-out and tied to your well and equipment hierarchy: a job that carries a cost basis requires the entry before it closes. The daily accrual feeds your accounting system over its API, reconciled rather than replaced. And every failure carries its RCA: what failed and why, categorized, with the cost attached.
LOE visibility stops being a month-end scramble and becomes a by-product of the work.
06 · Execution surface, the drive day
Route Optimizer
Route optimization that maximizes the impact of your team.
It plans on value density, dollars of production impact per crew-hour, rather than miles per stop. The solver builds the day that captures the most value the field can physically execute, bound by crew qualifications, site access windows, hours of service, equipment that has to travel with the job, and drive time. It re-solves mid-shift when a well goes down or a higher-value job lands. 35% fewer miles driven at equal production coverage (deployment figure).
07 · Execution surface, the wellhead
Field Data Capture
Gloves on at the wellhead. No shift-end paperwork.
Readings, volumes, downtime, equipment condition, and the work actually performed, captured once, online or offline. Voice-enabled: a field team member talks through a JSA in 30 seconds. The form fills itself; the person confirms what's true.
How it works together
Every component feeds the same ranked list.
- Your systems
- SCADA & alarms
- Historians & PM schedules
- ERP & production accounting
- Well master & GIS
- The WellOPS loop
- DataHub: unifies and validates the data
- Work Engine: prices and ranks every job
- Route: each crew's day, sequenced
- Close: capture, safety forms, ticket, accrual
- Your field team
- Lease operators
- Technicians & mechanics
- Roustabout crews
- Control room
Safety Management and Financial Accruals ride on every job in the loop: the permit holds the work, the accrual closes with it, and Equipment Management keeps the next visit on the same site stop.

AI and Agents · Willie
Your field team has an operating intelligence layer.
- Lease operator
- Willie, why is 233H my number one stop this morning?
- Willie
- 233H is carrying about $5,100 a day of production at risk. Gas lift performance is down 31% over the last 18 hours and still trending down. Estimated recovery probability for the restart is 82%, and you are 14 minutes away. Nothing else on your route beats that combination this morning.
Willie is voice-first, hands-free, gloves-on. He talks a field team member through a JSA in 30 seconds, logs a gauge sheet from a verbal report, photographs and classifies a hazard with one tap, and answers the procedure question for isolating a well from the cab of the truck. He knows every asset on the lease, every prior shift’s notes, every open work order, and every compliance requirement, and he escalates when something looks wrong.
Underneath, AI agents, machine learning and optimization continuously improve the ranking: every close-out, override and outcome feeds back into the scoring. The technology supports the outcome; the outcome is the ranked day.
Built to make your best pumpers faster, and to keep the institutional knowledge that used to retire with them.
