Ademola Fagade, CEO / Founder, GeoPrime Energy
4:30 CAP-15. It captures low flow emissions from a variety of upstream and midstream sources that are currently vented or combusted. We then return gas to sale or use it in process to provide economic returns while lowering emissions.
Andrew Lane, CEO, Capwell
4:40 Tamdrea is creating technology for fully automated operations where a network of AI agents operates seamlessly, with humans overseeing strategic decisions instead of managing daily operations, creating technology for the next generation of autonomous industries.
Pedro Ruiz, CEO, ST Turing LLC
4:50 Blastshield: a security network overlay that's protocol agnostic and designed to protect existing Operational Technology (OT) networks, Well-pad networks, and Pipeline networks. The advantage of BlastShield is that it secures current OT, cellular, and satellite networks without requiring any modifications to the existing infrastructure or scheduling downtime.

3:10 DataMoKsha: Unleashing the Power of LLMs and Generative AI Across the Energy Value Chain
Sunil Garg, CEO, DataVedik
3:20 ElementalGEO™ is a next-generation electromagnetic sensing platform designed to remotely interrogate subsurface formations at unprecedented standoff distances. Operating across VLF-to-HF frequencies, it deploys transmitters and receivers in flexible configurations—enabling geophysical imaging for critical mineral exploration, natural resources detection, and environmental monitoring. The system offers a low-impact alternative to seismic and traditional EM methods. Backed by over $5M in U.S. government-funded R&D and partnered with Northrop Grumman Mission Systems, elementalGEO™ is being developed as a scalable tool to reduce subsurface uncertainty across the mining, energy, and environmental sectors.
Eric Enig, President, ElementalGEO
3:30 Automated Lithology: Utilization of digitally connected hardware to derive decision-ready subsurface information from cuttings
Benedict Geaghan, Global Sales and Commercial Manager, SLB
3:40 Use of Robotics, AI, and Automation for Real-Time Wellsite Geologic Analysis. Robotics and automation provide a path to significantly enhance sample collection while reducing occupational health, safety, and environmental (HS&E) risk.
Aaron Swanson, CTO, DWL
3:50 AI Cloud is an entire, end-to-end drilling and completions platform that encompasses automated solutions from every aspect of the drilling process from well-planning and engineering to rig state detection alerts and completions.
Marat Zaripov , CEO, AI Driller
4:00 We deliver cost-effective AI solutions to optimize geothermal exploration and development—reducing costs, accelerating efficiency, and driving strategic growth at scale. Our platform helps analyze well and temperature data to pinpoint prime acreage for new drilling while also identifying oil and gas wells suitable for geothermal retrofitting. Shaleforce MAP (Map Augmented Platform) can be readily seamlessly integrated with oil & gas, geologic hydrogen, mineral exploration, and kinetics by linking respective highly granular data through secured cloud protocols.
Patrick Ng, CEO, Shaleforce
4:10 PetroBricks is the first turnkey solution for oilfield data automation. Data pipelines are created by configuring prebuilt components that connect to everything from the new-tech SaaS apps to IIOT sensor platforms and core enterprise data systems, and it runs in your data center, at the edge in the field, wherever you need it.
Rudy Lacovara, CEO, PetroBricks
4:20 From Silos to Subsurface Synergy: Real-Time Geoscience Data and AI for Smarter, Faster Wells with Unprecedented Operational Insights via a Simple, Predictive, and Transformative Platform.
Asim Siddiqui, Corva
4:30 Gas Release System (GRS): This tool was designed in collaboration with Diamondback Energy, Inc. The GRS optimizes the separation of gas from liquid and ensures that only the free-gas liquid enters the downhole pump.
Norman Grimes, Engineer, Odessa Separator, Inc
