From Reservoir to Export: whitson and Data Insights AI Partner to Deliver Physics-Grounded Production Optimisation

whitson and Data Insights AI are partnering to give oil and gas operators a more complete, physics-grounded view of their production systems — from reservoir fluids to the export point.

Operators today are forced to stitch together siloed tools to understand what's happening across their assets. Fluid behaviour lives in one model, the network in another, surveillance in a third — and the handoffs between them lose fidelity at every step. This partnership is built on a shared conviction that it doesn't have to be that way.

Data Insights AI's cloud-native platform, Graphsolve, creates integrated digital twins of production systems, connecting the sandface, wells, surface gathering networks, and topside facilities into a single real-time collaborative model for field surveillance and optimisation.

whitson brings more than 40 years of industry-leading expertise in PVT modelling, equation-of-state fluid characterisation, and well performance analysis. Its tuned compositional models underpin production and reservoir decisions at 300+ companies, from supermajors to independents, and represent the rigorous thermodynamic foundation that network and surveillance workflows depend on.

Together, the two companies will deliver an integrated workflow from reservoir to export — with whitson's fluid characterisation flowing natively into Graphsolve's network models, so every pressure, rate, and composition calculation is grounded in sound physics end to end.

"We share Data Insights AI's vision for where petroleum engineering is heading. The future is not document-driven workflows or siloed desktop applications controlled by a few vendors, but an open, connected ecosystem of cloud-native solutions that communicate seamlessly. What makes this partnership especially powerful is Data Insights AI's world-class team and their expertise in building real-time, physics-based digital twins that unify wells, networks, and facilities into a single collaborative model. Combined with whitson's cloud-native software and decades of experience in fluid characterisation, we are uniquely positioned to solve problems with a level of fidelity and integration the industry has been missing — delivering a truly physics-grounded view of production systems from reservoir to export."

— Mathias Carlson, CEO, whitson

"whitson has set the bar for fluid characterisation for four decades, and their team shares our belief that the future of production technology is cloud-native and collaborative. Partnering with them lets us give operators something they've never really had before: a single, physics-consistent view of their production system that the whole asset team can work in together."

— Peter Mann, co-founder, Data Insights AI
