Well Planning & Economics Platform · Subsurface Energy

Well economics.
Fully risked.
Start to finish.

UnRiskIT® is the complete probabilistic platform for well construction — from initial planning stages through operations to full NPV. Build plans, risk cost and schedule, compare scenarios, define approval gates, track against actuals, and calculate production economics. All in one integrated framework.

The Problem

Your well plan, cost estimate, and economics
shouldn't live in three different tools.

Most drilling teams build plans in one tool, estimate costs in a spreadsheet, run economics in a third, and compare scenarios manually. The result is fragmented workflows, disconnected risk, and gate decisions made without full economic context.

Planning and economics are disconnected

Well plans live in one tool, cost estimates in a spreadsheet, NPV in another. Changes in one don't flow through to the others.

Gate decisions lack risked economics

Go / No-Go decisions are made with deterministic cost estimates — no probabilistic NPV, no risked scenario comparison at the approval gate.

Plans don't update during operations

The plan is set before spud. When actual drilling data comes in, there's no systematic way to compare, adjust, and re-risk in real time.

Scenario comparison is manual and fragmented

Comparing well designs, cost alternatives, or development scenarios requires rebuilding models from scratch — slowing decisions and introducing errors.

Traditional Workflow Single-point planning. Disconnected handoffs. UnRiskIT® Workflow Six capabilities in one connected framework. STITCHED SPREADSHEETS → ONE CONNECTED PLATFORM Single estimate One number drives the plan. Disconnected tools Cost, scenarios, NPV in separate files. Late visibility Tradeoffs surface after commitment. Static plan No update path during operations. Plan + Risk Assumptions and ranges stay connected. Compare + Decide Scenarios feed Go / Rework / No-Go gates. Track + Value Actuals and NPV update as data arrives. Actionable next step Proceed, redesign, or reallocate.

"One platform should handle planning, risked cost, scenarios, gate decisions, tracking, and economics. That's what UnRiskIT® does."

Core Distinction
The Platform

Six capabilities.
One integrated framework.

UnRiskIT® covers the full well construction lifecycle — from initial planning through operations to production economics. Everything connected. Nothing in a separate spreadsheet.

UnRiskIT® Integrated Platform P Plan R Risk C Compare D Decide T Track V Value
01 — PLAN

Well Planning

Build new well plans or regenerate from previous designs. Define well architecture, operations sequence, and cost structure in a purpose-built environment — not a generic spreadsheet.

New Build Regen Previous Well Architecture
02 — RISK

Risked Cost & Time

Probabilistic cost and schedule estimation using Monte Carlo simulation. Generate P10/P50/P90 outcomes with or without financial value — from simple risked AFEs to full economic models.

03 — COMPARE

Scenario Analysis

Compare well designs, cost alternatives, or development scenarios side by side — with full probabilistic backing. See how changes in one variable ripple through cost, schedule, and economics.

04 — DECIDE

Approval Gate Decisions

Define phases or stages with Go / Rework / No-Go decision points backed by risked economics. Give budget holders and approval committees the probabilistic context they need at every gate.

05 — TRACK

Live Tracking & Plan Updates

Compare actual drilling data against your plan in real time. Modify, re-risk, and improve the plan as operations progress — applying lessons learned while they still matter.

Full NPV with Production Forecasts

Complete economic analysis including production forecasts and risk-adjusted NPV. Go beyond cost distributions to understand the full financial value of every well and scenario.

Extending into geothermal and clean energy

UnRiskIT® is extending its commercially proven architecture into geothermal EGS, CCUS, and hydrogen storage applications — bringing the same probabilistic decision engine that major operators have relied on since 2003 to the clean energy domains that need it most.

We are actively pursuing federal funding partnerships and welcome collaboration from national laboratories, geothermal developers, and CCUS project teams.
