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.
What We Do
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.
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.
Data Mining Systems
Our systems make it easy to review vast amounts of data like offset wells, and extract the information you need. We can tailor our systems for your own data.
AI / Machine Learning Solutions
AI is powerful, but it's not always appropriate - be careful. We frequently incorporate it into our systems in a number of ways. Assisting with textual analysis of decades of drilling operations? Document searches? (We can demonstrate how Oilfield Superstar works, if you're interested.)
Software Integration Services
Need to make sense of the data coming from your rigs, platforms, and all your engineering teams? We can seamlessly connect your existing software systems, and present the data in a form that is intuitive and valuable.
Custom Reporting & Dashboard Development
The dashboards we make are actually useful! We understand what data you need to see, and present it in a way that is intuitive and valuable.
General Software Consulting/Advisory
There are a lot of software developers who don't understand industry processes. We do. We can help you navigate the minefield of software development, and make sure you get what you need.
Oilfield Superstar
Our oilfield-specific AI knowledge base. Speak to us and we can use it to illustrate how AI works (and when it's suitable) via its back-end processes.

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.
