North American shale oil is a key swing factor in the global oil supply landscape, with production expected to exceed 11 million barrels per day by 2025. However, most of the data around shale oil and gas activities is estimate-driven and comes with a significant time lag.
Obtaining near-real-time information around well pad construction, drilling, and fracking activities up to two months ahead of public sources can give traders, investors, exploration and production, and oilfield services companies the edge they need to thrive in this high-stakes environment.
Using high-resolution satellite imagery, we can follow individual wells through their life cycle—from the new well pad construction and permitting stages to the drilling, drilled but uncompleted (DUC), and fracking stages. Combined with advanced analytics and publicly-available data, we are able to reveal complete and accurate shale oil and gas activity in the Permian Basin in near-real-time to bring unprecedented transparency to production outlooks.
