Why We’re Different
Most legacy well analysis begins—and ends—with records.
We start where records stop being sufficient.
Records Describe Status. They Do Not Guarantee Condition.
Regulatory databases capture how a well was reported at a point in time.
They rarely describe how that well behaves decades later.
Cement degrades.
Steel corrodes.
Pressure regimes change.
Administrative certainty does not equal physical certainty.
Triage Is Necessary — but Incomplete
Risk-based prioritization frameworks are designed to answer one question:
Where would harm be most immediate and visible today?
They are not designed to evaluate long-term failure probability.
Subsurface Risk Analytics does not replace triage systems.
It complements them by addressing time-dependent subsurface risk that may remain invisible for years.
We Treat Uncertainty Explicitly
Legacy well data is incomplete by nature.
Rather than smoothing over gaps, we surface them:
- Missing construction details
- Inconsistent location accuracy
- Static records applied to dynamic systems
Uncertainty is not a flaw to hide. It is a signal to manage.
We Bridge Physics, Data, and Policy
Subsurface risk does not live in a single domain.
Our approach sits at the intersection of:
- Subsurface engineering reality
- Environmental and geospatial data
- Regulatory and financial frameworks
This allows risk to be framed in ways that are technically defensible and decision-relevant—without advocacy or speculation.
What We Do Not Do
Clarity here matters.
We do not:
- Certify well integrity
- Perform plugging or remediation
- Issue regulatory or legal determinations
- Replace regulators, engineers, or inspectors
We focus on risk intelligence, not enforcement or execution.
If your decisions depend on how legacy subsurface systems behave over time—not just how they are labeled—our approach is intentionally different.
