Use Cases

Land / Lease Management

Reduce leasehold loss and ownership errors before they hit cash or the courthouse.

Overview →
Reduce leasehold loss

Continuous drilling & HBP risk calendar

Reduce missed continuous-drill and retained-acreage breaches before undeveloped acres release.

Challenges we solve

  • Lease obligations sit in PDFs and spreadsheets that never raise a flag
  • Schedule slips don't update the obligation clock
  • Ops can't see that land needs a spud this week

Questions you can ask

  • Which leases are inside 30 days of a continuous-drill breach?
  • Rank at-risk leases by net acres and remaining inventory.
  • Which at-risk leases have no AFE-approved spud in the window?

Reduce lease terminations

Shut-in royalty & lease-maintenance watch

Reduce secondary-term lease loss from late or mis-assigned shut-in payments.

Challenges we solve

  • Shut-in payments run off a stale well list
  • Land isn't told when a well goes offline
  • Assignments move the owner after the payment is set

Questions you can ask

  • Which wells went shut-in this week on secondary-term leases with shut-in clauses?
  • Which shut-in payments are due in 14 days, and who pays under the JOA?
  • Which shut-ins have acres at risk above X?

Reduce revenue errors

DOI deck vs land WI integrity

Reduce wrong owner payments and aged suspense from DOI / WI / JOA mismatches.

Challenges we solve

  • Month-end revenue pays the wrong owners
  • Suspense grows with no aging and no owner
  • Decimal imbalances surface late, during diligence

Questions you can ask

  • Where do land WI, DO decimals, and JOA interests disagree beyond 0.0001?
  • Which properties have suspense >90 days by reason code?
  • Rank DOI breaks by monthly revenue at risk.

Reduce spud slips

Curative vs the drill schedule

Reduce rig standby and slipped spuds caused by open curative.

Challenges we solve

  • Open title curative is invisible to the drill schedule
  • Locations are planned before title is clear
  • Rig standby caused by title delays lands on the wrong budget

Questions you can ask

  • Which planned spuds have open curative older than 45 days?
  • What curative items are still open on Smith #4H?
  • Which next-60-day locations are not title-clear?

Improve inventory quality

Inventory vs lease term & midstream

Improve inventory ranking by lease term, obligation clocks, and takeaway reality.

Challenges we solve

  • Inventory counts include locations that expire before a rig can reach them
  • Lease term, surface stipulations, and takeaway limits never enter the economics model
  • Capital is committed to locations with no interconnect at first sales

Questions you can ask

  • Rank undrilled locations by capital efficiency and days-to-obligation-breach.
  • Which “inventory” locations expire or breach before a realistic spud?
  • Which locations lack takeaway within X miles?

Drilling & Operations

Reduce AFE overruns and repeat NPT; get capital to first sales faster.

Overview →
Reduce AFE overruns

AFE vs actual + NPT lookback

Reduce repeat AFE overruns with phase-level cost and NPT lookbacks.

Challenges we solve

  • Cost and time for the same well live in separate systems
  • Lost time is buried inside generic cost codes
  • Lookbacks finish too late to change the next AFE

Questions you can ask

  • Which wells are >10% over AFE and which cost categories drive it?
  • Which NPT codes drove overrun dollars on this pad?
  • Where is invisible lost time hiding in “drilling” codes?

Reduce cycle time

Spud-to-first-sales cycle time

Reduce days from TD to first sales by finding stage bottlenecks.

Challenges we solve

  • No one owns the wait between TD and first sales
  • Blended averages hide which stage is actually slow
  • Drilled wells stay offline longer than the plan assumes

Questions you can ask

  • Where are days dying after TD before first sales by basin and pad?
  • Which wells are P90+ stuck in facilities?
  • What’s median spud-to-first-sales this quarter vs last?

Improve well ranking

Offset well benchmarking

Improve capital allocation with governed 90/180-day offset comparisons.

Challenges we solve

  • Well comparisons change definition between decks, so results are argued instead of used
  • Completion design isn't shown next to the production it produced
  • Offset benchmarks are rebuilt by hand and land after the design is locked

Questions you can ask

  • How do our last 20 wells compare on 180-day oil per 10k ft vs offsets?
  • Which completion designs underperform peers in this bench?
  • Show P50 internal vs P50 offset for Wolfcamp A 2024–2025.

Reduce repeat NPT

DDR offset knowledge

Reduce repeat stuck-pipe and lost-circulation events by searching prior DDRs before spud.

Challenges we solve

  • Drilling lessons stay buried in daily reports nobody can search
  • Hole-section experience leaves with the crew or the engineer
  • The same formation problem is re-learned on the next pad

Questions you can ask

  • Where have we seen lost circulation in this interval in 24 months?
  • What casing issues showed up in offset DDRs for this bench?
  • Summarize NPT lessons from the last 5 wells on this pad.

Production Management

Reduce PPAs, streamline filing prep, cut repeat LOE waste.

Reduce PPAs

Allocation & close risk

Reduce prior-period adjustments by catching allocation and ownership issues before close.

Challenges we solve

  • Allocation factors go stale without anyone noticing
  • Ownership problems appear after the books close
  • Accruals stand in for real tie-outs

Questions you can ask

  • Why did Field X allocation variance spike this month?
  • Which facilities have stale allocation factors?
  • What will reopen close if we don’t fix it this week?

Streamline filings

Regulatory data-gap list

Streamline W-10/G-10-style prep by listing missing well attributes before the packet.

Challenges we solve

  • Reporting gaps are found at the filing deadline
  • Missing attributes have no assigned owner
  • Every cycle repeats the same manual hunt

Questions you can ask

  • Which wells are missing attributes required for this quarter’s filings?
  • What data gaps aged >14 days for the TX RRC cycle?
  • Who owns fixing status codes in District X?

Reduce LOE waste

LOE & failure patterns

Reduce repeat workovers by lift type, contractor, and failure pattern.

Challenges we solve

  • Failure history isn't joined to the LOE it drives
  • Contractor and lift-type performance is argued from anecdotes
  • The same wells take the same workover again within the year

Questions you can ask

  • Which contractors drive repeat failures and LOE per BOE?
  • Which lift types fail most in Field Y after workover?
  • Where do failures cluster with recent NPT or incidents?
