data² Unveils Innovative Asset Performance and Optimisation Solution for Energy Sector

On November 2, 2026, at the Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition and Conference (ADIPEC 2026), data² (Data Squared), a company specialising in decision intelligence, introduced its latest offering: Asset Performance & Optimisation for Energy. This innovative solution aims to revolutionise how oil and gas operators assess well performance by providing a comprehensive view of drilling, geological, production, and business data.

Transforming Well Performance Assessment

The new platform, powered by data²’s reView™ technology, allows operators to benchmark every well based on drilling and production performance metrics. One of the key features of this solution is its ability to highlight when the evidence supporting a particular ranking is insufficient, guiding teams on what additional measurements are necessary. This capability is crucial for making informed decisions in an industry where every well represents significant capital investment.

Addressing Data Fragmentation

Traditionally, data related to drilling reports, rig time logs, cost estimates, service tickets, well logs, and production history have been stored in disparate systems. This fragmentation often leads to inefficiencies, as operators must manually combine data for analysis. The reView™ platform addresses this issue by integrating various data sources into a single, connected view, thereby streamlining the decision-making process.

Jon Brewton, founder and CEO of data², emphasised the importance of defensible decision-making in the energy sector, stating, “In energy, a decision about a well is only as good as your ability to defend it.” This highlights the necessity for operators to have reliable data at their fingertips to justify their choices regarding drilling locations, rig selections, and prioritising well repairs.

The Role of Artificial Intelligence

While many AI tools in the market can provide answers to various queries, data²’s approach is distinct. Jeff Dalgliesh, co-founder and Chief Research Officer, pointed out that their system is designed to refuse to provide rankings when the evidence is lacking. This refusal is intended to enhance the trustworthiness of the data presented, ensuring that engineers receive accurate guidance on what to measure next.

Practical Applications for Asset Teams

The Asset Performance & Optimisation solution enables asset teams to benchmark drilling operations effectively. They can compare different operators, rigs, or drilling pads based on metrics such as rate of penetration and drilling efficiency. This comparative analysis is vital for optimising performance and making strategic decisions that can lead to improved productivity and reduced costs.

Live Demonstrations at ADIPEC 2026

During ADIPEC 2026, which runs from November 2 to 5 at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre (ADNEC), data² is showcasing live demonstrations of its new solution at the Al Masaood stand, located in Hall 3, Stands 3430 and 3530. This event provides an opportunity for industry professionals to see firsthand how the Asset Performance & Optimisation for Energy can transform their operations.

Conclusion

As the energy sector continues to evolve, the need for reliable and integrated data solutions becomes increasingly critical. data²’s Asset Performance & Optimisation for Energy represents a significant advancement in how operators can assess and optimise well performance. By providing a connected view of essential data and ensuring that decisions are backed by solid evidence, this platform aims to enhance operational efficiency and support better decision-making in the oil and gas industry.
