Thoughts on technology strategy, cloud architecture, software development, and digital transformation.
Small operators are cybersecurity targets but lack enterprise security budgets. Here's how to protect your operations for $5K-$15K instead of $100K+.
Manual decline curve analysis takes 1-2 hours per well. Cloud-based automation does 100 wells in minutes—with better accuracy and continuous updates.
Most operators track equipment in spreadsheets—until equipment gets lost, maintenance history disappears, or true costs remain unknown. Here's how to fix it.
Production data scattered across systems costs more than you think. Here's the full picture: time, errors, missed opportunities, and competitive disadvantage.
Paper field tickets create delays, errors, and wasted time. Modern mobile apps get production data from the field to the office in seconds, not days.
Your 20-year-old SCADA has valuable real-time data, but it's trapped. Here's how to integrate legacy SCADA with cloud platforms without disrupting operations.
The Permian Basin produces 20M+ barrels of water daily. Disposal capacity is maxed out. Here's how technology helps operators navigate the water crisis.
Operators think spatially, but most software is list-based. WellPulse's map-first interface changes how you visualize and manage your field operations.
Manual RRC compliance reporting costs operators $2,000-4,000 per month in staff time, plus penalty risk. Here's how automation pays for itself in 1.5-3 months.
Cut through the AI buzzwords. Here's what machine learning actually does for oil & gas operations, with real results and practical implementation paths.
After years of building custom software for Permian Basin operators, we've created WellPulse: production management software designed for 20-500 well operations.
Enterprise software is too expensive. Basic tools don't fit your workflow. Here's a framework for deciding between custom, off-the-shelf, or hybrid solutions.
Historical production data contains millions of dollars in hidden value. Here's how to turn data you already have into actionable insights and better decisions.
Moving to the cloud doesn't have to be risky or disruptive. Here's a proven approach for migrating legacy oil & gas systems to modern cloud platforms.
Environmental, Social, and Governance requirements are no longer optional. Here's what small Permian Basin operators need to track, report, and how to do it affordably.
How a 100-well Permian Basin operator eliminated 50+ Excel files, reduced data errors by 95%, and cut decision-making time by 60% through custom cloud dashboards.
Equipment failures cost $5K-10K per incident in emergency repairs, plus $2K-5K daily in lost production. Predictive maintenance using machine learning can prevent 30-50% of unplanned downtime.
If you're spending 40+ hours per month on RRC compliance reporting or can't answer basic questions about your operations without days of work, it's time for a digital transformation.
