SeisCapital
AI-enabled subsurface modelling platform that unifies seismic, technical, and commercial data to support faster, lower-risk capital allocation decisions in oil and gas exploration.
The Problem
“Disconnected subsurface and commercial data slows exploration investment decisions”
Organizations face these key challenges:
Seismic, well, reservoir, and commercial data are stored in disconnected systems
Prospect evaluations rely on manual spreadsheet consolidation
Technical and finance teams use inconsistent assumptions and versions
Scenario analysis is slow and difficult to repeat at portfolio scale
Impact When Solved
The Shift
Human Does
- •Gather seismic, well, reservoir, and commercial inputs from separate sources
- •Reconcile assumptions and versions across technical and commercial teams
- •Build static prospect evaluations and compare scenarios in spreadsheets
- •Review opportunities in meetings and decide capital allocation priorities
Automation
- •No meaningful AI support in the legacy workflow
- •Limited automation for compiling prospect information
- •Minimal assistance for comparing uncertainty across opportunities
Human Does
- •Set evaluation assumptions, portfolio priorities, and decision criteria
- •Review AI-ranked prospects and challenge key drivers and uncertainties
- •Approve capital allocation, deferment, or further appraisal actions
AI Handles
- •Unify seismic, well, reservoir, and commercial data into prospect views
- •Generate probabilistic subsurface predictions, scorecards, and ranked opportunities
- •Recompute risked economics and scenario comparisons as assumptions change
- •Monitor new data and flag portfolio shifts, outliers, and decision triggers
Operating Intelligence
How SeisCapital runs once it is live
AI runs the first three steps autonomously.
Humans own every decision.
The system gets smarter each cycle.
Who is in control at each step
Each column marks the operating owner for that step. AI-led actions sit above the divider, human decisions and feedback loops sit below it.

Human lead
Approval, override, feedback
AI handles assembly, analysis, and execution. The human gate sits at the decision point. Every cycle refines future recommendations.
The Loop
6 steps
Assemble Context
Combine the relevant records, signals, and constraints.
Analyze
Evaluate options, risk, and likely outcomes.
Recommend
Present a ranked recommendation with supporting rationale.
Human Decision
A human accepts, edits, or rejects the recommendation.
Authority gates · 1
The system must not approve capital allocation, drilling, appraisal, deferment, divestment, farm-down, or acquisition decisions without review by exploration and capital allocation leaders. [S1]
Why this step is human
The decision carries real-world consequences that require professional judgment and accountability.
Execute
Carry out the approved action in the operating workflow.
Feedback
Outcome data improves future recommendations.
