Diversified Energy - Maverick M&A

Ahead of our upcoming M&A note, our research team shares a quick preview: The region offers strong acreage that has flown under the radar for years—an overlooked opportunity worth watching. Stay tuned for deeper insights.

Generic vs Domain-Specific AI in Oil & Gas: What Really Works?

Can generic AI really handle the complexities of reservoir forecasting?

In oil and gas, precision is everything—and domain-specific AI is proving to be the game-changer. From parent-child well interactions to leveraging advanced algorithms, specialized AI uses industry knowledge to deliver more accurate insights, driving better decisions and higher profitability.

NAPE 2025?

We’re officially one week away from the 2025 NAPE Summit!

If you’re attending, don’t forget to stop by booth #2915 and chat with our team. We’ll be showcasing our latest advancements in energy analytics and how they can help you optimize development strategies and maximize asset value. Let’s connect in Houston!

Unpacking the Uinta Basin: the next great oil play?

Is the Uinta Basin the next great oil play?

Recent horizontal wells in the Uinta Basin are delivering performance on par with top U.S. shale plays, but unlocking its full potential requires a data-driven approach. This URTeC paper?explores:

• Key geological and engineering factors driving well performance
• How machine learning optimizes completion designs and spacing
• Why precision targeting can maximize recovery and reduce uncertainty
