From the reservoir to the export compressor, on one set of physics.
Coupled subsurface geomechanics, physics-based digital twins of the surface plant, reconciled asset data and environmental monitoring, with the reasoning on every number.
- 01Below ground
- Rock and fluid deform and flow together. We use coupled poromechanics for the subsidence, compaction and wellbore questions that a model with constant rock compressibility gets wrong.
- 02Above ground
- Separators, compressors and pipelines from several decades and vendors, in one calibrated model that says what a reading means and what it will do next.
- 03One name per well
- Historian, maintenance system, engineering register and GIS reconciled before any model is built, with the source on every value.
01Pain points
What we help solve
- 01
Compaction and subsidence measured before they are predicted
Reservoir models with a constant rock compressibility miss compaction, wellbore instability and caprock stress until the effects show at surface.
- 02
No model that spans the facility
Equipment from different eras, data in SCADA, historians and maintenance systems, and nothing that connects a compressor's readings to its thermodynamics.
- 03
The same well under five names
The historian, the CMMS, the engineering register, the GIS layer and a spreadsheet each identify the well differently. Every analysis inherits the mismatch.
- 04
Alerts nobody signs off on
Black-box scores for a trip or a failure arrive with no reasoning, so the supervisor accountable for the decision ignores them.

03Questions
Questions we take on.
01How much more will this field subside over ten more years of production, and what does that do to the wells?
02Can the export compressor run above nameplate through August without bringing the overhaul forward?
03Which of the 40,000 tags in PI belong to assets that also exist in SAP under a different name?
