Troy Ruths, PhD, Founder & CEO
Based on the principles of Deep Work, our workday consists of four 90-minute ‘sprints’ where we work without distraction. The remaining two hours of each workday are spent relaxing, recharging, and connecting with colleagues. As a result, our team is more engaged, more productive, and more connected to one another.
We collaborate heavily and communicate constantly, across multiple offices and distinct areas of expertise. Our software is an extension of this culture of cross-functional collaboration, democratizing access to data and empowering teams. We are very proud of the recent developments of Petro.ai, even through the challenges of limited travel and remote work. We’re driven to deliver the same experience to Petro.ai users, software tools for modern energy development.
Our financial sponsor, SCF Ventures, is the venture capital arm of the most successful private equity fund in energy service. We are very proud to partner with Dr. Mark Zoback, our Senior Advisor for Geomechanics and Dr. Nathan Meehan, our Senior Advisor for Reserves and Emissions. Implementing insights from Dr. Zoback and Dr. Meehan into everyday software has far-reaching implications for the future of energy.
The digital oilfield, empowered by analytics, machine learning, and AI, is the fastest growing part of our industry. SCF Ventures is proud to partner with Petro.ai because of their talent, track record, and vision for the next generation of oil and gas.
The forces that are acting in the Earth are at the core of unconventional resource development. Once you know what these forces are, you can be predictive about what hydraulic fractures would like to do. The issues of well spacing, infill drilling, and stacked pay are all linked, in a three-dimensional way, to conditions presented to you by the Earth.
AI-based products and services can, and will, greatly leverage the skills of petroleum engineers in their work. 70-75% of technical petroleum engineering operations can be augmented by AI.
At Petro.ai, the world’s most talented developers, analysts, and thought leaders are shaping the future of oil and gas. We’re looking for people to join the team who are as excited as we are to help build the platform that enables people to do more with their data and get to insights faster. Seeking talent anywhere. Offices in Houston and Montreal.
