GeoWellSuite / SigmaPulse / Well-to-wallet economics

The well is
the business case.

SigmaPulse connects well engineering, reservoir, production and economics in one auditable investment decision. Link a GeoWellSuite well, check the scenario and run once: from the well file to a GO / NO-GO verdict in seconds.

The opening question

What is this well really worth before the rig is on location?

Well design, contract award, first oil and exit are usually decided in four different spreadsheets by four different teams. The gap is not in the physics or in the finance. It is in the hand-off between them. SigmaPulse runs all four on the same well data, with no re-keying between drilling, reservoir and commercial teams.

33%

premium a hard turnkey price carries over the technical well cost on the example well.

83%

of the cash flow taken by government under the indicative PSC terms: the fiscal regime moves value more than the casing.

Year 6

when selling the example well is worth more than holding it to its economic limit in year 10.

One example run, not industry averages. Figures are from a single SigmaPulse run on the training well at $70/bbl flat, with indicative fiscal defaults. Your well, contract and licence terms will give different numbers.

One model from casing to cash flow

Six connected modules.
One run.

Pick the well, check the scenario and run the pipeline once. Every result traces to that run, and changing a price, a contract or a casing point updates the whole chain.

01 / CONNECT

Built on the real well

Survey, casing, cement, shoes and the Well Cost phase plan come straight from GeoWellSuite, with each hole section priced under the contract you choose.

02 / VISUALIZE

A cutaway everyone can read

A true-scale picture of the asset, from the subsea tree to the lateral in the pay zone, so engineers, investors and partners point at the same thing.

03 / PRODUCE

Inflow meets outflow

IPR at depleting reservoir pressure and Beggs-Brill VLP through the real tubing give operating points, natural-flow life, artificial-lift timing and EUR.

04 / CONTRACT

Who carries the risk

Seven commercial models priced against the day-rate baseline, with contingency, premium, breakeven and the operator / contractor risk split for each.

05 / DECIDE

Hold, sell or walk away

Fiscal terms, Monte Carlo NPV, IRR, payback, breakeven and hold-versus-sell timing are reconciled into one GO / MARGINAL / NO-GO verdict.

06 / AUTOMATE

28 agents and an assistant

Contract and economics agents run as one pipeline under a chief agent. AskRoboProphet changes scenarios, compares models and writes the report.

INPUTS / LINKED GEOWELLSUITE WELL

SigmaPulse Inputs panel with a linked GeoWellSuite well, eight input groups, and region, country, contract model and well type selectors

Link a well and its depth, days, NPT, day-rate, tangibles and services come with it. 75 inputs in 8 groups.
Differentiator 01

The well is not a number in a cell.

Link a GeoWellSuite well and SigmaPulse takes depth, days, NPT, day-rate, tangibles and services from its Well Cost model, then prices each hole section under the contract you choose.

  • Technical cost beside contract price for every hole section.
  • Tagged “from well”: fields that come from the engineering model are labelled.
  • Override anything: the tag drops, so you always see what changed.
  • One click back: “Open well in GeoWellSuite” returns to the engineering.

COST PER SECTION / TURNKEY VS WELL COST

Engineering and commercial teams look at the same well, section by section.

Differentiator 03

Revenue starts at the sandface, not in a price deck.

Production is calculated from the reservoir and the real well before any money moves. Oil, gas, condensate or both: the fluid decides the correlations, the units and the revenue stream.

INFLOW VS OUTFLOW / PRODUCTION FORECAST

INFLOW

IPR as the field depletes

Inflow performance curves at each reservoir pressure through the life of the well.

OUTFLOW

VLP through the real tubing

Beggs-Brill vertical lift performance through the actual tubing ID and the linked survey.

LIFE OF WELL

Operating points to EUR

Operating points, natural-flow life, artificial-lift year and estimated ultimate recovery.

Differentiator 04

Who carries the risk, and what it costs.

Seven commercial models are priced against the day-rate baseline for this well. The selected model then drives the rest of the workspace. On the example well, the same scope ranges from $16.67M (alliance) to $18.36M (hard turnkey).

CONTRACT MODELS / RISK AND PRICE

What the team sees

Same well. Same days. Different risk.

The difference between models is contingency and risk premium. Multiplied across a campaign of wells, and before fiscal terms and exit timing are counted, one better contracting decision changes the business case.

  • 8 risk categories split between operator and contractor.
  • Contingency, premium and breakeven for each model.
  • Best-for and challenge notes for each structure.
  • Day-rate baseline
  • Performance-based
  • Integrated (IPM)
  • Turnkey / lump-sum
  • Risk-service
  • Carry / deferred
  • Alliance (gain / pain)
  • Well-factory (outcome)

Differentiator 05

Hold, sell or walk away: one verdict.

Fiscal defaults for 15 countries, Monte Carlo NPV, IRR, payback, breakeven and hold-versus-sell timing come together in one result, judged against your own thresholds.

Verdict, NPV range, IRR against hurdle, payback, breakeven and when to sell, all from one run.

Verdict brackets, your thresholds

Know where the verdict flips.

GOEvery criterion passes: P(NPV > 0), IRR hurdle, payback and breakeven.
MARGINALClose to a threshold: re-structure the contract or re-time the sale.
NO-GOCriteria fail: walk away or re-scope the well.

Fiscal terms per country are indicative defaults. Enter the actual licence or PSC terms and the verdict follows.

Differentiator 06

28 agents, one chief, and an assistant that acts.

You can see who did the work. RoboCube lights each contract and economics agent as it completes, and the Chief Deal Intelligence agent reconciles them into one plan and one verdict.

  • 11 contract agents and 17 economics agents in one pipeline.
  • Results unlock only after the run. Each view carries the run id, so nothing is stale or mixed.
  • AskRoboProphet changes the scenario, runs the pipeline, compares models and writes the report.
  • Keep or Undo: nothing changes without your approval.

AI that works inside the model, not a chatbot beside it.

From the map to the reservoir

Explore the asset beyond the wellbore.

Every assumption is labelled: an assumed liner says so, a thickened pay band says so. Surface location comes from the well file, and when it is missing the view says so.

A practical workflow

From a well file
to an investment verdict.

On the 25,000 ft MD training well, the full pipeline runs end to end, from Apply to GO / NO-GO, in about five seconds.

STEP 01

Link the well

Choose a GeoWellSuite well. Survey, casing, Well Cost and formations come with it.

STEP 02

Check the scenario

Review 75 inputs in 8 groups: scenario, rig, cost, reservoir, flow, fiscal, exit and go / no-go.

STEP 03

Run once

28 agents price the contracts, forecast production and run 150 Monte Carlo NPV trials.

STEP 04

Decide and report

Read the verdict, compare contract and exit options, and prepare the report for partners and approvals.

Know what the model assumes. Fiscal terms are indicative defaults for 15 countries and can be overridden with the actual licence or PSC. Results depend on the supplied well data, prices and thresholds, and support, but do not replace, your company’s investment approval process.

Bring us a well.
We’ll bring back the business case.
