这笔融资将为 WDL 提供营运资金，以支持其当前的活动。

WDL 成立于 2014 年，已迅速成为井下数据分析和机器学习领域的创新者。在美国，大约 50% 的水力压裂井使用 WDL 专有的基于云的软件。该业务提供数据驱动的油井报告和优化解决方案，使运营商能够将多个复杂的数据源简化为可操作、易于理解的实时见解，从而提高效率。如今，WDL 在石油和天然气行业拥有 30 多家蓝筹客户，为超过 500,000 个压裂阶段提供数据服务。由于大部分研发基础已经到位，Hunting 正在 WDL 增长周期的关键点进行投资。

根据联盟协议，Hunting 和 WDL 将寻求最大限度地将 Hunting Titan 射孔产品线集成到 WDL 应用程序集中，为运营商提供根据前一阶段获得的数据做出反应和调整压裂所需的信息。这是数据可用性的一个阶跃变化，消除了完成作业后提取数据所需的等待时间。

反过来，WDL 将受益于 Hunting 的分销网络以及作为拥有行业领先技术的射孔组件优质供应商的长期地位。

Hunting 首席执行官吉姆·约翰逊 (Jim Johnson) 评论道：“向 Well Data Labs 提供这笔融资使 Hunting 能够进入完井市场的关键数据分析领域。对于许多运营商来说，这是一个关键领域，因为行业正在推动更高效率的钻井作业和更快的油井评估。鉴于与我们陆上相关产品和服务组合的协同效应，这项投资对 Hunting 来说是一个令人兴奋的机会。”

Well Data Labs 首席执行官 Josh Chuurlik 评论道：“与 Hunting 的联盟展示了我们的数据分析平台为行业带来的价值。这一激动人心的合作伙伴关系为勘探与生产运营商提供了一个机会，利用人工智能技术推动其数字化战略，帮助他们优化运营并更接近实时决策。”

This financing will provide working capital to WDL to support its current activities.

Founded in 2014, WDL has quickly emerged as an innovator in downhole data analytics and machine learning. In the US, approximately 50% of the wells fracked use WDL proprietary cloud-based software. The business offers data-driven well reporting and optimisation solutions enabling operators to increase efficiencies by simplifying multiple, complex data sources into actionable, easy to understand, real-time insights. Today, WDL has over 30 blue chip customers in the oil and gas industry providing data services for over 500 000 frac stages. With much of the research and development foundation already in place, Hunting is investing at a key point in WDL growth cycle.

Under the alliance agreement, Hunting and WDL will seek to maximise the integration of the Hunting Titan perforating product line into WDL application set providing operators with the information needed to react and adjust the frac based on data obtained from previous stages. This is a step change in data availability eliminating the wait time associated with extracting the data after a completed job.

In turn, WDL will benefit from Hunting’s distribution network and long standing position as a premium provider of perforating components with industry leading technology.

Jim Johnson, Chief Executive of Hunting, commented: “The provision of this financing to Well Data Labs allows Hunting to access the key data analytics segment of the completions market. This is a critical area for many operators as the industry drives for higher efficiency drilling operations and faster well evaluation. This investment is an exciting opportunity for Hunting given the synergies with our onshore related products and services portfolio.”

Josh Churlik, Chief Executive of Well Data Labs, commented: “The alliance with Hunting demonstrates the value our data analytics platform delivers to the industry. This exciting partnership provides an opportunity for E&P operators to move their digital strategies forward with AIenabling technologies helping them optimise operations and move closer to real-time decision-making.”
