AGR and THF Engineered Solutions have formed a strategic partnership to explore how engineering-led AI can enhance well planning, assurance, and well delivery
The partnership combines AGR’s knowledge in well engineering and project delivery experience with THF’s AI-enabled workflow platform, WellPhase, to help operators and engineers identify operational risks earlier, improve planning quality, reduce time spent reviewing historical well data, and deliver wells more safely and efficiently.
The partnership expands on a successful offset well review pilot involving AGR’s well specialists. Utilising WellPhase and its embedded Engineering Logic and Learning Intelligence System (ELLIS), large volumes of historical well information can be analysed and transformed into structured engineering insights, providing a traceable first-pass review of key events, risks, and planning considerations.
Lynden Duthie, managing director of AGR’s Well Management business, said, “AGR has built its reputation on delivering safe, high-quality well engineering solutions for clients worldwide. By combining our operational expertise with THF’s AI-enabled workflow technology, we see an opportunity to unlock greater value from historical well data for clients, freeing up engineering time from manual processes to strengthen planning quality and improving consistency in well delivery across projects.”
Christopher Smith, founder of THF Engineered Solutions, said, “Our goal is to help engineers spend less time gathering and structuring information and more time applying their expertise to critical decisions. Working with AGR ensures the solutions we develop are grounded in real-world well engineering challenges and operational requirements.”
AGR and THF also see opportunities to apply the approach across a wider range of well engineering, assurance, and operational processes, such as standards compliance, well operations planning, and regulatory assurance.
