There's no shortage of lists to summarize the past year. But here at Darcy, we have a unique data set with activity on Darcy Connect from over 10,000 energy company Connect Users. That data shows which innovators saw the most activity on Darcy Connect in the form of views, clicks, likes, follows, meetings scheduled, etc.. Combined with analysis from our Research Team about technology developments and market traction, we have selected the Top 10 Innovators from 2021 in each of our coverage channels. This is our way of saying: "these are the innovators that your peers are most interested in, so you should definitely go and learn more about them". In this article, you will find the Innovators that made it on the list in the category of Subsurface Characterization.

But there is far more to detail to look at than what you'll find here.

• The Innovator names are all linked to their Storefront, where you can find in-depth information on their products, business model, our Research Team's opinion, and Connect Users are even able to schedule meetings with the Innovators.
• E&P users of these technology companies will share their experience deploying these solutions during the Subsurface Characterization: Top Technologies from 2021 Darcy Live Event that will take place on January 12th at 10am CST.
• In the month of January you will find weekly articles like this with Top 10 lists from our Oil & Gas, Power & Utilities, Sustainability, and Energy Transition research programs.
• All articles will be followed by a Darcy Live Event. On the Event page, you can find the full Darcy Live schedule for Q1.

The Top 10 Innovators from 2021 in the Subsurface Characterization space are (in random order):

• GeoComputing Group: GeoComputing Groups’ RiVA platform is a cloud computing environment specifically designed to accelerate geoscience workflows and is agnostic to the end software.
• Silixa: Silixa offers a range of distributed acoustic and distributed temperature fiber optic solutions across onshore and offshore applications.
• Well-Sense: Developers of the Fiber Line Intervention (FLI) system which enables raw fiber optic cables to economically obtain acoustic measurements across the length of the well.
• Novi Labs: Fast and accurate production forecasts that improve on manual approaches by leveraging AI to incorporate public and private completions, production, and geologic data.
• Reveal Energy Services: Reveal’s ORCHID platform enables data integration and visualization for unconventional operators as well as customizable automated data analysis tools.
• Whitson: PVT experts with an integrated software platform for PVT, RTA, numerical simulation, and well forecasting.
• Reservoir Imaging Solutions: Real-time surveillance and diagnostic services to dynamically image fluid, fractures, and proppant placement during well completions.
• Interface Fluidics: Microfluids laboratory services company providing oil and gas clients insights into the behavior and properties of reservoir fluids to make better long term decisions.
• ResFrac: Fully coupled hydraulic fracturing, wellbore, and reservoir simulator to enable the modeling of the entire development life-cycle a single continuous simulation.
• ShaleIOR: Service company which provides design and implementation of Gas Injection EOR for unconventionals.

In addition to wrapping up 2021, January is also the month that we are setting our research priorities for 2022. We are member driven and focused on solving your challenges. So I'm inviting you to share your topics of interest with us in the very short survey below, or in the comment section for additional priorities. You can even share any links to road map documents (or send them to jack@darcypartners.com)!
