Drilling data can be messy

Rig data arrives late, duplicated, missing, misaligned, or flat-out wrong. Different vendors speak different protocols. Data from multiple wells are spread in different places and formats. We build systems that collect, clean, and transform drilling data into usable information.

Messy drilling data streams becoming a clean unified pipeline

What We Do

We work with drilling and engineering teams who need custom software where off-the-shelf tools fall short.

  • Custom Drilling Software & System Extensions Purpose-built applications and extend existing drilling systems to support unique operational requirements.
  • Real-Time Drilling Data & Integration Connect, stream, and process real-time drilling data from WITS, WITSML, Modbus, etc. into your systems.
  • System-to-System Integration & Automation Integrate drilling systems, databases, and third-party services to eliminate manual handoffs and data silos.
  • Real-Time Calculations, Alarms & Decision Logic Hydraulics calculations, threshold monitoring, and automated alerting to support drilling decision-making.
  • MPD, Hydraulics & Drilling Simulation Specialized tools for MPD operations, hydraulics modeling, and drilling performance analysis.

How Engagements Typically Work

  1. Short discovery. We review your requirements, infrastructure, and constraints to validate scope and approach.
  2. Fixed-scope prototype or MVP. We deliver a functional proof-of-concept to verify fit and capability.
  3. Iterative build with domain feedback. We develop the system incrementally with input from engineering and operations teams.
  4. Handover, support, or extension. We transfer ownership, provide maintenance, or continue building based on your needs.
