Offshore Industrial Operations. Agentic operations for the back end of every shift — without ever taking the well.

We ship to offshore drilling contractors and industrial operators whose tour-end reporting and hazard review still happen by hand. The agent ingests rig telemetry in real time, drafts the IADC daily drilling report as the shift unfolds, and surfaces banded-confidence hazard predictions to the toolpusher. The agent is firewalled from the well control system at the network layer; it authors reports and prompts decisions, never takes the well. Toolpusher-decision integrity is the metric the practice publishes.

What we ship for this industryIndustry · Offshore Industrial Operations
  1. 01
    Telemetry ingest with provenance.

    Bit depth, ROP, WOB, RPM, pit volume, mud weight, and standpipe pressure stream in over a replayable event bus — every report draft is reproducible from the same audit-stamped log.

  2. 02
    Report drafted as the shift unfolds.

    Operational fields populate from telemetry continuously; the Operations Summary block is drafted by the agent and held in a 'Toolpusher to review' state until the senior operator accepts or edits.

  3. 03
    Hazard predictions, banded.

    Kick probability, stuck-pipe risk, and bit wear are surfaced as banded confidence rather than point estimates. The agent flags a hazard; it never makes a control decision.

  4. 04
    Operator-in-the-loop, by contract.

    Every hazard flag is a decision prompt to the toolpusher — accept, override, or escalate. The integrity metric is whether the toolpusher remains the decision-maker on every shift.

Agentic AI2025

An offshore drilling contractor, US Gulf Coast

An agentic operations console that auto-generates IADC daily drilling reports and surfaces hazard predictions to the toolpusher — without ever taking the well.

100%

The contractor ran a fleet of jack-ups in the US Gulf, and the back end of every shift was the same problem in a different chair: the toolpusher closed the day by hand-writing an IADC daily drilling report from memory and the morning's tour sheets, while a separate engineering review tried to catch the near-misses the report had blurred. The engagement was a single operations console that ingests rig telemetry in real time, drafts the daily report as the shift unfolds, and runs a banded-confidence hazard model against the same telemetry — surfacing decisions to the toolpusher, never to the well control system.

Methodology
  1. 01
    Telemetry ingest with provenance

    Bit depth, ROP, WOB, RPM, pit volume, mud weight, and standpipe pressure stream in from the rig's existing sensors through an event bus we built specifically for replayability — every report draft is reproducible from the same audit-stamped event log.

  2. 02
    Report drafted as the shift unfolds

    The IADC report's operational fields populate from telemetry continuously; the Operations Summary block is drafted by the agent and held in a 'Toolpusher to review' state — never released until the shift's senior operator accepts or edits the draft.

  3. 03
    Hazard predictions, banded

    Kick probability, stuck-pipe risk, and bit-wear progression are surfaced as banded confidence rather than point estimates. The agent flags a hazard when a band crosses a threshold; it never makes a control decision and is firewalled from the well control system at the network layer.

  4. 04
    Operator-in-the-loop, by contract

    Every hazard flag is delivered as a decision prompt to the toolpusher — accept, override, or escalate. The integrity metric the contractor cares about most is not the agent's hit rate; it is whether the toolpusher remains the decision-maker on every shift, audited at 100% for twelve months.

The agent writes the report. The toolpusher takes the well.

Build discipline

Hardened scaffold. Yours to shape.

The fundamentals of every system we ship are fixed by discipline. Everything above them is built around your business — your roles, your refusal lanes, your integrations, your shape.

The spine

Always there

Six engineering fundamentals that ship on every engagement, regardless of industry.

  1. 01
    Refusal lanes before features.

    We write the no-list before the yes-list. The boundary the system will never cross is documented and audited before the first feature ships.

  2. 02
    Operator in the loop on every decision.

    The agent reads, drafts, and routes. A senior human takes every high-stakes action. The integrity of that posture is the metric we publish.

  3. 03
    Replayable event sourcing.

    Every draft, every flag, every state transition is reconstructable from an audit-stamped event log. Bugs are diagnosable. Decisions are explainable.

  4. 04
    Row-level security on every table.

    Postgres + RLS, applied without exception. Anonymous access is gated, client access is scoped to client rows, operator access is audited.

  5. 05
    Audit log streaming on day one.

    Every read, write, and refusal is appended to an immutable log keyed to your senior operator — your security officer, your toolpusher, your managing partner.

  6. 06
    Observable from day one.

    Structured logging, error-tracking, telemetry, weekly digests. The system explains itself before someone has to investigate it.

Your shape

Built around you

Seven customization axes. Concrete, not cosmetic — every axis is a token, a policy, an integration, an audit.

  1. 01
    Identity & branding.

    Your logo, palette, microcopy, sender domain. Brand tokens — not theme pickers — so contrast and accessibility never break under your colors.

  2. 02
    Role taxonomy.

    Clinician, toolpusher, paralegal, dispatcher — your roles, not ours. The RLS scaffolding bends around the role names you actually use.

  3. 03
    Refusal lanes.

    Your no-list, signed off by your senior operator. Versioned. Auditable. Replayable against any past conversation.

  4. 04
    Integration surface.

    We plug into the systems you already run — EHR, rig event bus, DMS, TMS, payor portal — never the other way around. Inbound webhook, outbound idempotent on retry.

  5. 05
    Workflow gates.

    Approve, override, escalate. Gated by your roles, sequenced to your operations rhythm, never to ours.

  6. 06
    Data shape.

    Your schema, your types — not a generic JSONB blob trying to fit every customer. Migrations versioned, idempotent, single-transaction.

  7. 07
    Audit policy.

    Who sees what. How long it is retained. How it exports to your compliance officer when an auditor asks. SOC2, HIPAA, state-bar, IADC-aligned where the industry requires it.
