Case Study: OAG Analytics achieves automated well spacing 5× faster and at 1/10th the cost with TIBCO Software

OAG Analytics Combines Domain Expert Algorithms and Machine Learning for Optimum Well Spacing

OAG Analytics, a Texas-based software company, helps domain experts and data scientists tackle the high-stakes problem of well design and spacing in oil and gas production. Because physics-only or ML-only approaches failed to give reliable pre‑drill forecasts, OAG focused on combining domain science and machine learning to improve predictability and protect asset value.

OAG’s hybrid solution pairs proprietary reservoir and geoscience algorithms with AutoML, AWS compute and TIBCO Spotfire visualizations to deliver transparent, interpretable models and purpose-built workflows. The SaaS offering automates well‑spacing decisions, cuts data wrangling 12×, deploys in under eight weeks across all US unconventional basins, has enabled development of 3M+ acres, runs five times faster at one‑tenth the cost of internal efforts, and has identified billions in annual customer savings.
