Turn stranded gas opportunities into development-ready insights.

 

Overview

Smart basin is an agentic AI advisory system that accelerates screening of stranded gas assets for tie-back and development opportunities. By coordinating specialized AI agents across geological, reservoir, drilling, fluid, and compliance domains, the solution compresses months of manual screening into days—surfacing grounded, evidence-backed insights while keeping engineers in control.

 

Challenges

  • Screening stranded assets for tie-back potential is a complex, multidisciplinary process involving geological, reservoir, drilling, and facilities evaluations.
  • Critical technical information is fragmented across thousands of well reports, PVT analyses, field studies, and operational datasets.
  • Manually synthesizing large volumes of structured and unstructured data is time-consuming and difficult to scale.
  • Regulatory and environmental compliance assessments require reviewing extensive policy and Environment Plan documentation.
  • Slow evaluation cycles can delay investment decisions and increase opportunity costs.

 

Solution

  • Coordinate specialized AI agents across asset, well, fluid, subsurface, and compliance domains.
  • Ingest structured and unstructured data into a unified knowledge graph and vector database.
  • Automatically identify tie-back opportunities, technical constraints, and development considerations.
  • Route user questions to the most relevant domain experts through agentic orchestration.
  • Deliver evidence-backed recommendations with traceable citations and supporting documentation.

 

Features

 

  • Asset Agent – Proximity and Tie-Back Screening – Evaluate well and field proximity, tie-back distance, and hub connectivity using structured spatial data. Support configurable screening criteria across thousands of assets and infrastructure components.
  • Domain Agents – Well, PVT, and Subsurface Intelligence – Extract and analyze technical information from well reports, PVT studies, and subsurface data, including reservoir conditions, fluid composition, contaminants, and completion details.
  • Policy and Compliance Agent – Identify regulatory requirements and environmental considerations by analyzing policy documents and approved Environment Plans, providing traceable compliance guidance.
  • Orchestrator and Multi-Agent Reasoning – Coordinate multiple specialized agents, manage workflow execution, and synthesize outputs into a single, coherent assessment with supporting evidence and citations.

 

Benefits

  • Accelerate Asset Screening – Compress multi-month stranded asset evaluations into days.
  • Improve Decision Confidence – Deliver grounded recommendations backed by source documents, citations, and traceable evidence.
  • Unify Multi-Domain Analysis – Evaluate asset proximity, subsurface characteristics, fluid properties, and compliance requirements within a single workflow.
  • Keep Engineers in Control – Augment engineering expertise with AI-driven analysis while preserving human judgment and decision-making.
  • Scale Across Basins and Portfolios – Adapt to different regions, asset types, and development opportunities through flexible data ingestion and agent orchestration.
