How it works · One closer per loop

The decision team, well to ship.

The Upstream desk is the OPI Production Integrator — ten AOMs governing production readiness, well economics, facilities, reservoir, and the path to the tanker. The Refinery desk closes the loop from the crude slate to the maintenance calendar. Each runs the math, makes the call under your constraints, and hands a control-room-ready action.

Upstream Desk · OPI Production Integrator

Ten AOMs orchestrating production readiness, well economics, facilities, reservoir, and well-to-ship flow.

The Production-Readiness Lead

POP DURATION

“I close the gap between completion and first oil — I see the delay 30 days out and move before it ever costs a barrel.”

Decisions it makes

Score delay risk 30+ days early across equipment, materials, and facility windows
Resequence, expedite, or escalate against rig conflicts and PAD sequencing
Pre-position the response before a well slips its first-production date
Cover 100% of wells on a rolling 30+ day horizon

Tracks:first-production delay · well coverage (100%) · time-to-first-oil · escalations resolved

Supports:Production Readiness · Upstream Operations / D&C

The Well-Economics Lead

HIGH-COST WELL

“I rank every well by fully burdened cost-per-barrel and call it — continue, optimize, or shut in — with the NPV to back it.”

Decisions it makes

Rank every well by cost-per-barrel against a configurable threshold (default $15/bbl)
Recommend Continue, Optimize, Temporarily Shut-In, or Permanently Shut-In
Attach full NPV rationale and override logging to every call
Re-rank continuously as economics and decline move

Tracks:cost-per-barrel · $10–20M / large portfolio · shut-in NPV · override rate

Supports:Well Economics · Asset / Reservoir Management

The Materials Lead

MATERIAL MGMT

“I forecast what every program needs 30/60/90 days out and draft the PR before a stockout ever stalls a well.”

Decisions it makes

Forecast material demand 30/60/90 days from D&WO schedules and failure predictions
Issue governed PR drafts (Oracle ERP-compatible) when stockout risk crosses threshold
Log every trigger and capture every override
Cut material-driven delays by 10%+

Tracks:material-driven delays (−10%+) · stockout risk · PR lead time · forecast accuracy

Supports:Materials & Procurement · Supply Chain / ERP

The Facility & Capacity Lead

FACILITY & CAPACITY

“I find the surface constraint that's actually binding production — and reroute around it for the least economic cost.”

Decisions it makes

Identify the binding constraint — gas handling, separation, water disposal, header pressure, compression, flaring
Reroute, rebalance, or throttle with least economic impact
Stress-test booster failures and AGRP losses before they happen
Absorb system-wide constraints across the surface network

Tracks:constraint absorption · deferred production recovered · flaring · facility uptime

Supports:Surface Facilities · Production Engineering

The Cost & OPEX Lead

COST & OPEX

“I am the economic truth layer — one consistent cost-to-produce at well, facility, asset, and directorate level.”

Decisions it makes

Compute cost-to-produce at well, facility, asset, and directorate level
Allocate OPEX consistently and feed the other AOMs one economic foundation
Run scenarios across 5,000+ wells in under five minutes
Balance maximize-production against minimize-OPEX

Tracks:cost-to-produce · OPEX per barrel · scenario runtime (<5 min) · allocation consistency

Supports:Production Economics · Finance / Operations

The Resource & Rig Lead

RESOURCE MGMT

“I sequence every rig to the most NPV-weighted barrel per rig-day — and re-optimize the moment the picture changes.”

Decisions it makes

Sequence workover and drilling rigs to maximize NPV-weighted BOPD per rig-day
Re-optimize in real time on rig breakdowns, material delays, or emergency priorities
Carry full explainability per recommendation
Protect the critical program when resources turn scarce

Tracks:NPV-weighted BOPD per rig-day · rig utilization · re-sequencing latency · plan adherence

Supports:Rig & Resource Allocation · Drilling / Workover

The Reservoir-Interaction Lead

DECLINE VISUALS

“I watch the reservoir spatially — I catch interference and odd-well behaviour before it does irreversible damage.”

Decisions it makes

Model reservoir sections spatially with configurable clustering radius
Detect interference between well pairs and odd-well behaviour vs section peers
Flag abnormal decline before irreversible reservoir damage
Feed risk signals into shut-in and intervention calls

Tracks:interference detection (≥90%) · odd-well detection (≥85%) · abnormal-decline alerts

Supports:Reservoir Surveillance · Subsurface / Reservoir Eng

The Water-Injection Lead

WATER INJECTION

“I map every injector to its producers, catch breakthrough early, and rebalance injection to keep the sweep working.”

Decisions it makes

Quantify injector-producer relationships across the pattern
Detect early breakthrough using salinity-based diagnostics
Recommend temporary shut-ins and injector-producer re-pairing
Set balanced injection rates to optimize sweep

Tracks:injector-producer mapping (≥95%) · breakthrough lead time · sweep efficiency · water cut

Supports:Waterflood Management · Reservoir / Production Eng

The Surface-Limitation Lead

SURFACE LIMITATION

“I solve every surface bottleneck at once — gas, water, pressure, flaring, export — and alert 24 hours before impact.”

Decisions it makes

Integrate multi-layer surface bottlenecks simultaneously — gas, water, pressure, flaring, export
Optimize across the wellhead-to-export-header network as one system
Issue predictive alerts at least 24 hours before facility impact
Hold export commitments under simultaneous constraints

Tracks:predictive-alert lead time (24+ hr) · network throughput · export-header pressure · flaring

Supports:Surface Constraint Network · Operations / Facilities

The Well-to-Ship Lead

WELL-TO-SHIP

“I close the loop from the wellhead to the tanker — days-to-full, days-to-empty, and the NPV trade-off on every move.”

Decisions it makes

Forecast days-to-full and days-to-empty across the tank farm
Run price-driven and demand-driven export scenarios
Quantify NPV trade-offs across production, storage, and export
Coordinate upstream production with downstream storage and shipping

Tracks:end-to-end revenue realization · tank-farm headroom · demurrage · scenario NPV

Supports:Tank Farm & Export · Logistics / Commercial

Refinery Desk

From the crude slate to the maintenance calendar — every refinery loop closed by an optimizer.

The Crude Optimizer

CRUDE & FEED

“I pick the crude slate that wrings the most GRM out of your units — under every spec and capacity bound you've got.”

Decisions it makes

Pick the crude slate that maximizes GRM under unit and product constraints
Optimize the feed blend to downstream units
Position crude and feedstock against logistics and price moves
Sequence cargoes against tank availability and lay-can

Tracks:GRM (+3–6%) · feed yield · working capital (−10–20%) · demurrage

Supports:Crude & Feedstock · Economics / Planning

The Blending Optimizer

BLENDING & YIELD

“I hit every product spec at the minimum giveaway — and re-blend the moment certification drifts off-spec.”

Decisions it makes

Pick blend recipes that hit specs at minimum quality giveaway
Allocate octane across blends at the lowest cost-of-octane
Watch certification specs and trigger re-blends before off-spec ships
Govern daily yield against the monthly plan

Tracks:blend margin (+1–3%) · octane giveaway (−5%) · off-spec events (−40%) · plan attainment

The Energy & Utilities Optimizer

ENERGY

“I cut energy intensity across every process — steam, hydrogen, power — against tariffs and carbon caps, without slowing a unit.”

Decisions it makes

Minimize energy intensity across processes against tariffs and CO₂ caps
Optimize the steam network across headers and let-downs
Allocate hydrogen to consumers at minimum cost and emissions
Dispatch cogen against grid prices and reliability

Tracks:energy intensity (−8–15%) · steam cost · H₂ cost · energy margin

The Reliability Lead

PREDICTIVE MAINTENANCE

“I time every intervention to the degradation and the downtime cost — I pull the unit before it fails mid-run.”

Decisions it makes

Decide intervention timing against degradation and downtime cost
Sequence turnaround scope and tasks for minimum critical path
Stock spares by criticality, lead time, and failure rate
Prioritize inspections by risk-based scoring

Tracks:downtime (−20–40%) · turnaround duration · spares cost · inspection backlog
