Engineering software by engineers.
We are experienced drilling and mechanical engineers turned software developers. We specialise in software and data services for the upstream oil and gas industry, broader energy sector, and manufacturing. If it's related to engineering data and operational efficiency, we do it best.
Our Core Services
We are engineers who make software. Not just software engineers.
We understand the needs of our clients. Often, they have a vision of what they could do if they digitised their business, but don't know how to get there. We can help.
Digitising Processes
Still relying on spreadsheets or clunky enterprise software for your delivery process? Performance monitoring? File management? Lessons Learned? Probabilistic AFE generation? Project management / oversight? Competency management? Inventory management?
We transform traditional business processes into intuitive software solutions.
Data Analytics
You've never seen anything like our flagship oilfield Data Analytics platform and service. Using data you already have we can reduce your operational costs by a seriously significant amount. See Superstar Performance Analytics
Engineering Analysis and Modelling
We were drilling, oilfield, and mechanical engineers before we were software engineers. Well control, directional drilling, casing design, well integrity modelling, stress analysis, parametric CAD? No problem. We can analyse your data, and build you the tools you need.
Custom Software Development
Need offset wells analysed, lesson indexes compiled, well schematics built, time/cost estimates made but have limited resources? We have the systems, people, and data to do these consistently. We do the grunt work, and you don't need to deal with new software, so your team can focus on the important stuff.
Oil and Gas
Drilling Engineering and Upstream Oil and Gas
Originally Drilling Engineers, our cross-industry experience and software development skills make us uniquely placed to help you digitise your business.
Well Delivery Digitisation
Still relying on spreadsheets or clunky enterprise software for your delivery process? Performance monitoring? File management? Lessons Learned? Probabilistic AFE generation? Project management / oversight? Competency management? Inventory management?
We transform traditional business processes into intuitive software solutions.
Drilling Data Analytics
You've never seen anything like our flagship oilfield Data Analytics platform and service. Using data you already have we can reduce your operational costs by a seriously significant amount, and actually start using your data. See Superstar Performance Analytics
Engineering Analysis and Modelling
Drilling software is expensive, and difficult to use. We have our own proprietary software, and we can build you the tools you need. Well control, directional drilling, casing design, well integrity modelling, stress analysis? No problem.
Drilling Engineering as a Service
Need offset wells analysed, lesson indexes compiled, well schematics built, time/cost estimates made but have limited resources? We have the systems, people, and data to do these consistently. We do the grunt work, and you don't need to deal with new software, so your team can focus on the important stuff.
General Engineering and Industry
Our expertise naturally extends to other industries adjacent to oil and gas, and manufacturing.
Renewables
Many of the challenges in renewables are similar to those in oil and gas and manufacturing. We have the expertise to help.
Industrial Services
Competency and personnel management, oversight, project management, and more.
Specialised Engineering
We have a broad range of engineering and software development skills. We've built things like electrochemical cell modelling systems, star trackers for satellites, automated hydropneumatic production lines for furniture. If you have a challenging technical requirement that needs creative problem solving, please get in touch!
Who we are
Engineering Businesses.
The founder (Paul) worked as a drilling engineer (deepwater/ frontier/ exploration) for years, programming on the side since 2004. Frustrated with the oil industry's inefficient data practices and repetition of costly mistakes, he started a small manufacturing business.
The products and machinery were low-tech, but the business administration was definitely not. All aspects of the business (including accounting, marketing, production, and the factory floor) were automated and integrated using bespoke systems, such that the entire business was run from a single laptop in about twenty minutes per day.
The system was hugely effective in freeing up time to spend on other projects, which included converting the production management part of the system into an off-the-shelf product: Factory Superstar.
He sold the manufacturing business to focus on software/data, and found a demand for the other less-defined services that we had developed back in the drilling industry: an amalgam of traditional and software-driven engineering, focussed ultimately on improving business efficiency and growth.
Now, we are a small and flexible team of drilling engineers, mechanical engineers, and software developers who specialise in bespoke software and data services for the upstream oil industry, broader energy sector, and manufacturing.
We combine deep engineering expertise with software development skills. We're great with data. We understand the problems you face when digitising. We have a track record of solving them.
