Business-as-Code

Read as an executable program — the work decomposed into Code, Generative, Agentic, and Human.

Develop subsurface sits inside a larger value-flow — 1 parent structure it composes into. The hierarchy is grounding, not the story: it tells you which aggregate exposure Develop subsurface inherits.

How the work flows

Trigger: A commercially viable hydrocarbon reservoir is confirmed through appraisal drilling and seismic analysis.

  1. Interpret seismic and geological appraisal data
  2. Construct static geological and structural models
  3. Run dynamic reservoir simulations to forecast fluid behavior
  4. Determine optimal well spacing, locations, and trajectories
  5. Define the hydrocarbon recovery and depletion strategy
  6. Quantify proven and probable reserve estimates
  7. Generate the final subsurface development plan for sanctioning

Outcome: A finalized subsurface development plan, including well trajectories and depletion strategies, is approved for drilling operations.
