Services · Upstream Transformation

Transform the upstream value chain, end to end.

Upstream Transformation is end-to-end digital transformation across the upstream value chain, proven in production with a major unconventional operator in one of the most demanding shale plays in the world. We modernize how an operator captures, governs, and uses its subsurface and well data, so the daily work and the engineering run on one open model the operator owns.

The thesis

Most operators run upstream on a chain of disconnected tools and closed databases.

Each domain has its own desktop application, its own export format, and its own copy of the truth. The data round-trips between products and the operator never quite owns it. We have done this transformation in production for a major unconventional operator, across the full value chain, and we bring that proven path. We modernize how an operator captures, governs, and uses its subsurface and well data, and we hand the operator a single open model it controls.

The scope

Multi-domain, across the value chain.

G&G
Geology and Geophysics

We bring subsurface interpretation, formation models, and the mud-log record into a governed, queryable data model instead of a folder of files. The geoscience that informs the well plan stays connected to the well it built.

Well Construction
Well Construction

Daily reporting, time and cost, drilling parameters, BHA, mud, cement, casing, and the engineering math all live in one web-native system of record. The report and the calculations share a single source of truth.

Well Interaction
Well Interaction

Anti-collision, offset awareness, and frac-hit and parent-child relationships become first-class data, not a side calculation. The operator sees how wells affect each other across the pad and the field.

Production
Production

Production volumes, well tests, and operating performance flow into the same governed model as the construction history. The full life of the well is one continuous record from spud through flowback and beyond.

Reporting
Modernization of the Reporting Package

We replace a chain of disconnected desktop tools and closed databases with an open, web-native, governed data model. The daily report and the engineering live in one place, and the data stays the operator's.

What modernization means

One open data model, not a chain of closed tools.

Modernizing the reporting package means replacing a chain of disconnected desktop tools and closed databases with an open, web-native, governed data model. The daily report and the engineering live in one place. The data stays the operator's, in a documented schema, exportable on demand, and aligned to OSDU. The user stops juggling licensed products and the operator stops renting access to its own well history.

Open by default

A documented schema with OSDU alignment, exportable to the operator's warehouse and BI without a vendor in the loop.

One place to work

The daily report and the engineering math run in the same web application, reading from the same reconciled source.

The operator owns it

Append-only history and provenance on every record, so lineage, audit, and regulatory use cases are answered by the data itself.

How we engage

A staged path, earned one asset at a time.

01
Assessment

We map the current toolchain, the data sources, and the round-trips between them. We identify where the operator's data is locked in, where the manual handoffs are, and where a single governed model removes the most friction.

02
Production pilot on one asset

We stand up the platforms on a single asset and run them against live operations, not a sandbox. The pilot proves the new model on the operator's real wells, real reports, and real engineering before any fleet commitment.

03
Fleet rollout

Once the pilot earns trust, we extend the same governed model across the fleet. The legacy history is ingested first, so the operator never loses continuity, and every asset lands on the open schema.

Modernize the value chain. Own your data.

Start with an assessment of your current toolchain and a production pilot on one asset, run by a team that has done this transformation before.
