The Landscape
Challenges Facing Energy in 2025–2026
The energy sector faces unprecedented headwinds. AI is no longer optional — it is the competitive moat.
Plateauing Productivity
Shale productivity gains have stalled — new well oil production per rig increased less than 2% in the past year. Conventional optimization has hit its ceiling.
Tariff & Cost Pressure
Material and service costs are rising 4–40% from tariffs on steel, aluminum, and imported tubular goods. Cost discipline is now existential.
Technical & Data Debt
70% of oil & gas companies remain stuck in AI pilot phase. Legacy platforms create up to 40% risk of missing AI value entirely.
Workforce Transformation
66% of the oil & gas workforce is in mechanically intensive roles. Upskilling and AI-augmented operations are critical as experienced workers retire.
ESG & Emissions Mandates
Methane reporting requirements and carbon reduction targets demand automated monitoring, real-time leak detection, and transparent ESG data pipelines.
Capital Discipline
Only 15–25% of U.S. oil & gas companies are projected to achieve revenue growth above 5% in 2026. Every dollar spent on technology must deliver measurable ROI.
What We Deliver
AI Solutions Built for Energy
From wellbore to refinery, our solutions address the full energy value chain with purpose-built AI that operators trust.
Intelligent Drilling Optimization
AI-driven real-time drilling parameter optimization, automated bit selection, and downhole anomaly detection. Our models integrate surface and subsurface data to reduce non-productive time by up to 30% and extend bit life.
AI-Powered Reservoir Management
Advanced reservoir simulation surrogates, history matching automation, and production forecasting using deep learning. Maximize recovery rates while reducing simulation runtime from days to minutes.
Predictive Maintenance & Asset Intelligence
Deploy AI agents that continuously monitor equipment health across compressors, pumps, pipelines, and rotating machinery. Detect failures before they happen — early adopters report up to 40% fewer equipment failures.
Production Optimization
Real-time production surveillance, automated well testing analysis, and field-level optimization using multi-physics AI models. Boost production efficiency and reduce lifting costs across your entire portfolio.
Emissions & ESG Intelligence
Automated methane leak detection, continuous emissions monitoring, and ESG reporting pipelines powered by AI. Meet regulatory requirements while building a transparent, auditable sustainability record.
Energy Supply Chain AI
AI agents that autonomously manage procurement, vendor evaluation, inventory optimization, and logistics routing for energy operations — with human oversight at critical decision points.
The Future of Energy Operations
Agentic AI for Oil & Gas
Agentic AI is moving from pilot projects into core energy operations. We deploy autonomous AI agents that think, act, and collaborate — handling mission-critical tasks across your organization.
Autonomous Data Processing
AI agents that ingest, clean, validate, and transform petrotechnical data 24/7 — from well logs and seismic surveys to production reports and regulatory filings.
AI Agent Workforce
Deploy specialized AI agents for routine operations — daily production reporting, well allocation, decline curve analysis, and compliance documentation. Free your engineers to focus on high-value decisions.
Multi-Agent Orchestration
Coordinated multi-agent systems where drilling, production, and logistics AI agents collaborate across departments — eliminating data silos and enabling truly integrated operations.

Advisory Services
Energy AI Consulting
We partner with energy companies to build their AI transformation roadmap and execute it — from strategy through deployment and ongoing operations.
Digital Transformation Strategy
Build a comprehensive AI roadmap for your E&P or midstream operations. We identify the highest-value workflows for AI deployment, redesign processes from the ground up, and create a phased execution plan with ROI projections tailored to energy economics.
AI Agent Workforce for Energy
Deploy AI agents that own and execute routine petroleum engineering tasks — production allocation, decline analysis, regulatory reporting, and well surveillance. We onboard agents to your systems, define their roles, set KPIs, and provide ongoing optimization.
Digital Oilfield Implementation
End-to-end digital oilfield deployment combining IoT sensors, SCADA integration, real-time analytics, and digital twins. We architect the data infrastructure and deploy AI models that turn field data into actionable operational intelligence.
Emissions & ESG Data Intelligence
Build automated ESG data pipelines, deploy AI-powered methane detection and quantification systems, and create audit-ready sustainability reports. Navigate evolving regulations with confidence and demonstrate environmental leadership.
Why Groundwork Analytics
Domain-Native AI
Founded by a Stanford PhD in energy systems optimization. Active since 2018 with years of experience partnering with major energy players. We don't bolt AI onto oil & gas — we build AI that speaks petroleum engineering natively.
We Deploy, Not Just Advise
We build and operate AI agent systems in production for energy companies. No slide decks without implementation — we ship working systems that deliver measurable value.
Operator-Friendly Pricing
No Big Four overhead. No vendor lock-in. We deliver production-grade AI systems at a fraction of what traditional energy consultancies charge — and measure success by your operational outcomes.
What Our Clients Say
"Groundwork Analytics deployed AI agents that now handle 80% of our routine production reporting and well surveillance. What used to consume 3 days per week of our petroleum engineers' time now runs autonomously — and the data quality improved."
"Their digital transformation assessment saved us from a costly misstep. We were about to layer AI on broken data workflows. Groundwork redesigned our data architecture first, then deployed AI models that actually work in the field."
"Their reservoir management AI reduced our history matching cycle from 6 weeks to 3 days. The production forecast accuracy improved by 25%. This is the kind of AI impact that justifies every dollar invested."
