Kaia Oil & Gas

From raw well telemetry to a filed SEC disclosure — every figure computed, verified, signed.

Kaia Oil & Gas runs the reserves cycle end to end on one governed engine — decline-curve estimation, PRMS classification, economics, governance, the independent audit, officer certification, and the EDGAR-ready filing. No number is a model assertion: every volume, NPV₁₀ and Standardized-Measure figure is deterministically computed and traces back to its source datum.

The velocity proof — cited, not claimed

This entire workflow was stood up from spec to live in production in under two weeks — nine days, on the record: the canonical Kaia Oil & Gas specification was committed on July 7, 2026 (commit 6ab0b61), and the close-out release — validated across both live verticals — was deployed to production on July 16, 2026 (mainline 69a5d4a).

It moved that fast because the platform beneath every Kaia product starts pre-trained on the industry and compounds every expert correction — learning that does not transfer. We productize your workflow. You don't build it. Validation then runs on your governance clock, with the evidence pack pre-built.

Built for Your Role

What Kaia Oil & Gas does for you.

Every role gets a purpose-built operating surface. Not a generic dashboard — a workspace designed for how you actually work in Oil & Gas.

Reserves Engineer / QRE PreparerDocument review and quality assurance

Every reserve volume computed by code, never asserted by a model

The Reserves Engineer desk: fit the decline curve, see which method and which parameters, assign PRMS Class and Category on two axes that never conflate, and watch the economic-limit chop separate technical from bookable.

Three stacked, credentialed sign-offs the engine cannot walk past

The QRE technical sign-off, the independent reserves auditor and both certifying officers are non-waivable floors — the run halts in Step and in Auto, and no admin setting can disable it. The SEC-compliance checklist lives at the desk where the signature happens.

Full Lifecycle

Every stage of the reserves cycle, on one governed engine.

Ingest & Estimate

SAP, OSDU / S&P Global EDIN and OSIsoft PI feeds reconciled into one aligned well record, then decline-curve analysis to recoverable volumes.

Classify & Economics

PRMS Class and Category on two independent axes, then NPV₁₀, the Standardized Measure, and the economic-limit chop that separates technical from bookable.

Governance & Audit

Deterministic verification, the SEC-compliance checklist at the sign-off desk, the qualified technical person’s signature, then the independent reserves auditor’s.

Certify & File

CEO and CFO certifications under SOX, then the Reg S-K Subpart 1200 disclosure, the SMOG supplemental tables, and the XBRL/EDGAR submission.

Classification

Three axes. Decided independently. Never conflated.

PRMS CLASS

Reserves · Contingent Resources · Prospective Resources. Decided solely by project maturity and commerciality — discovered and commercial, discovered but contingent, or undiscovered. The engine proposes the class; the commerciality call stays your engineer’s.

CATEGORY

Low (P90, reasonable certainty) · Best (P50, the operating number) · High (P10). Decided solely by uncertainty in recovery — never by commerciality. Mapped mechanically, and never conflated with the Class axis.

SEC BOOKABILITY

Bookable (SEC Proved) · Non-bookable. The disclosure filter: economic at the mandated twelve-month first-of-month average price, with PUD carrying the five-year rule. Proved can be zero while 2P and 3P are not — a legal, expressible state.

The Learning Loop

Every correction makes the system smarter.

01

AI Computes

Submit a reserves case. Kaia fits the decline curve, proposes the PRMS class, runs the economics, and shows which method and which parameters produced every figure.

02

The Evaluator Acts

Reserves engineers and the VP override a method, edit an input, or reclassify at the bookability boundary — with the reasoning on the record and the compliance checklist at the desk.

03

System Learns

Each correction routes through the learning triage, the per-vertical model improves, and the published audit-agreement benchmark moves. The engine learns your fields.

Oil & Gas Differentiator

Audit-defensible by construction — from source datum to filed figure.

Estimation suites stop at the estimate. Filing tools are reserves-blind. Nobody owns the governance bridge between them — the relay from booked reserves to a filed, audit-defensible disclosure is still manual spreadsheet-and-PDF glue. That relay is what Kaia runs.

Computed

Never Asserted

Reserve volumes, NPV₁₀ and the Standardized Measure are computed by deterministic code the engine invokes and cross-checks against the physics. A decline exponent outside its physical range isolates the dataset instead of booking it.

Signed

Three Stacked Floors

The qualified technical person, the independent reserves auditor, and both certifying officers. The run halts in Step and in Auto until each credentialed signature is on the record, and no admin setting can disable it.

Filed

The Relay Nobody Owns

Once the signatures land, the Reg S-K Subpart 1200 disclosure, the SMOG supplemental tables and the XBRL/EDGAR submission assemble in the same run — with Contingent and Prospective volumes structurally fenced out of the filing.

See it work. Right now.

Run a year-end reserves submission. Reclassify a well at the bookability boundary. Watch the booked set re-derive, the floors hold, and the disclosure assemble.

Kaia Oil & Gas Process

8-Stage Industry Process

The governance and sign-off relay from booked reserves to a filed, audit-defensible disclosure — the bridge no estimation incumbent or filing tool owns. Every reserve volume, NPV₁₀ and Standardized-Measure figure is deterministically computed by code the engine invokes and cross-checks against the physics, so no number enters a filing as a model assertion, and every filed line traces click-through to its source datum.

Kaia runs process preparation, routing, evidence assembly, and correction learning; authorized humans retain final regulated authority.

🛢️
Stage 1

Ingest

Pull and reconcile the source feeds — SAP ERP (CapEx/OpEx/downtime), OSDU / S&P Global EDIN (subsurface, decline), OSIsoft PI (pressure/flow/flare telemetry), operating plans and prior bookings. The immutable source-datum ledger opens at the first byte.

The audit trail every filed figure traces back to opens here, not at sign-off

📉
Stage 2

Estimate

Decline-Curve Analysis (DCA/Arps) on producing wells to recoverable volumes. EUR computed to the economic limit; low/best/high (1P/2P/3P) profiles built independently — never scaled copies.

Every figure deterministically computed and logged — no volume is a model assertion

🗂️
Stage 3

Classify

PRMS Class (Reserves / Contingent / Prospective) and Category (recovery uncertainty) assigned on two independent axes that are never conflated. The engine maps Category mechanically and PROPOSES Class — commerciality stays a human judgment.

SPE-PRMS 2018 — Class × Category decided independently; the cardinal invariant

💵
Stage 4

Economics

NPV₁₀ at the mandated 12-month first-of-month unweighted average price, the Standardized Measure (SMOG), and the economic-limit chop that separates the technical forecast from the bookable reserve.

SEC Release 33-8995 + FASB ASC 932 — the mandated price basis and the Standardized Measure

🔎
Stage 5

Governance

The crux. Deterministic verification re-checks every figure against physical constraints, the SEC-compliance checklist surfaces as adhered / near-violation / commented, and the qualified technical person signs. A non-waivable halt in both Step and Auto.

Reg S-K 1202(a)(7) — QRE technical sign-off by the technical person primarily responsible

⚖️
Stage 6

Audit

Independent evaluation by an external qualified reserves auditor (Ryder Scott / NSAI / D&M), reconciled against the company estimate. Exceptions return the package to Governance; software is never the "third party".

Reg S-K 1202(a)(8) — the signed third-party reserves report when reliance is claimed

✍️
Stage 7

Certify

The CEO and CFO both certify the disclosure under SOX §302/§906 — fixed statutory wording, personal criminal liability. The first two-signature floor on the platform: the CFO who owns the stage cannot release it alone.

SOX §302 / §906 — CEO + CFO certifications; a two-signature non-waivable floor

📤
Stage 8

File

Assemble the Reg S-K Subpart 1200 disclosure (reserves tables, the changes-in-proved roll-forward, the PUD narrative and the five-year rule, technical-person and internal-controls disclosures), the SMOG supplemental tables, and the XBRL/EDGAR submission.
