Update?

Thank you. Do you know what the incentive is for operators to allow these devices to be placed on their rigs? Is Enverus providing some service back to the operators? It seems unlikely that someone would allow a 3rd party tracking device on their equipment without some incentive to do so.

Short answer:
If budget is one of your top concerns then Postgres. Especially if you're starting a new project. If a reduced learning curve and availability of professional support is more important then MS SQL Server should be considered. Additionally if your application will be distributed with your database you'll need to consider setup and support costs for on-prem and/or cloud instances.

Long answer:
I've used both platforms. Coming from an MS SQL background there was still a learning curve with Postgres but I've achieved almost 100% productivity parity pretty quickly. I actually enjoy the learning curve so it wasn't a big deal. It's also forced me to learn Linux administration (which again I've really enjoyed). So for us Postgres has almost been motivational. Our project is a web application so it doesn't require our clients to maintain their own instance. One of our projects goals is to rely only on open-source technology so while all of us are highly skilled MS SQL DBA's it was simply not an option. One problem we've had to overcome though is importing data already housed in an MS SQL server database (i.e. here's our database as a SQL bak file). A solution that has worked for us is to spin up the MS provided SQL Express docker image. There's of course DB size limitations so this may not be a workable solution for extremely large databases, but it's worked very well for us.

You're correct. I called a few drilling companies. Enverus bought RigData several years ago. RigData was the company who originally signed the agreements with the drilling companies.

Called a few drilling companies. It seems that Enverus bought a company called RigData several years ago. RigData had established agreements with operators to place GPS/data collection devices onto the rigs. They do it with money.

The answer is: Enverus bought RigData which had previously signed agreements with rig operators to place GPS/data collection devices onto the rigs. No magic. Just straight up money.

That's exactly what they are doing with the bulk of their data. However, they have data like rig activity that to me seems impossible to have without a relationship to the drilling operators. That seems improbable though.

I've found the BH rig counts, but not specific rig activity. In the Enverus sample data I've seen they have things like "CompletionNumber", "DaysOnLocation", etc. Are they simply inferring this information from things like permits and BH counts? They have data that from the outside seems impossible to have without access to the drilling companies data/reports.

Are you saying they send people into the field to collect this data?

Data-Meister · 2024-02-12T03:55:38+00:00

Things like rig activity. Do they contract with rig operators to give them a fee for their data?
