We Built WorkSync Because We Lived the Problem
Our Story
Before WorkSync, we designed and deployed SCADA infrastructure for major pipeline operators, built OT network architecture for E&P companies, and led operational transformation programs across oil & gas, LNG, and utilities. We saw the same pattern everywhere: organizations spending millions on data infrastructure, then making field decisions on habit and spreadsheets.
The system to connect data, insight, execution, and learning didn't exist. So we built it. WorkSync started as an internal operational transformation program at a 3,000+ well operator in the Western Anadarko Basin. The results were measurable: 40% OPEX reduction, TRIR from 1.8 to 0.3, and 15% free cash flow uplift.
We productized it because the problem isn't unique to one operator — it's universal. Every upstream and midstream company we've worked with faces the same gap between their data and their field execution.
How We Build
Action Over Reporting
Systems should drive decisions, not just display data. If it doesn’t change what someone does tomorrow morning, it doesn’t belong.
Prioritization Drives Performance
Not all problems are equal. Economic impact scoring ensures the highest-value work happens first.
Field Simplicity Matters
The best system in the world fails if the pumper can’t use it at 6 AM in a truck cab. We design for the field first.
Intelligence Must Be Continuous
Batch analysis is too slow. Operational decisions require continuous data ingestion, scoring, and routing.
Integrate, Don’t Replace
We connect to what you already run — SCADA, ERP, CMMS, GIS. No rip-and-replace.
Executive Clarity Without Manual Effort
Leadership visibility should be automatic. If someone is building a PowerPoint to brief the VP, the system has failed.

Platform Architecture & Operations
Michael brings 15+ years of operations consulting across oil & gas, LNG, and industrial operations. He architected the OPS platform — the closed-loop decision system at the core of WorkSync. His work on operational transformation programs has delivered measurable results including reducing TRIR from 1.8 to 0.3. He designs systems that work the way operations actually run.
Where We're Going
We're building the operating system for distributed energy infrastructure. Today, WorkSync serves upstream and midstream operators. Tomorrow, we're expanding into gas utilities, oilfield services, contract compression, and water midstream — any operation where field execution is disconnected from operational intelligence.
The OPS engine and FlowSync platform are designed to be domain-agnostic. The intelligence loop works the same way whether you're managing wells, pipelines, or distribution networks. What changes are the domain-specific rules, the integration points, and the scoring models.
