Tela™ agentic-AI assistant for stranded gas assets tie-back
Innovation Factori™ Subsurface
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.
