DIGITAL ANALYSTS · COMING SOON
Hire an analyst, not a dashboard.
A digital analyst is a standing instruction: an agent that reads every filing in your territory and reports back in writing, with the records behind every sentence. You stop scanning lists. You read the brief.
Status · coming soon
Not live yet. Today's watchlists and their daily email are the seed: rows that will become a narrative. This page is the thinking. Tell us which brief you would read every Monday and it moves up the list.
Three kinds of work to hand off
The same agent, the same data, three triggers: a clock, a condition, or you.
EVERY MORNING, OR EVERY MONDAY
Scheduled briefs
The agent reads what the Railroad Commission published since last time for your counties, operators, and formations, and writes what changed and why it matters. Each claim links to the permits, wells, and leases behind it.
- ✦Who filed in my six counties this week, against the prior week
- ✦Which of my operators changed pace or target
- ✦New disposal permits and transfers in the district
WHEN SOMETHING HAPPENS
Standing watches
Conditions that wake the agent: a new entrant in your counties, a disposal permit within five miles of your wells, an operator change on a lease you track, a cluster of events near a client's injection wells. When one fires, the agent investigates and writes up what happened, not just that it happened.
- ✦An operator you have never seen permits in Loving
- ✦A lease you track changes hands
- ✦Three M3+ events inside ten kilometres of a disposal well you watch
WHEN YOU HAND IT OFF
Queued analysis
Work you give the agent and get back: compare twelve operators' programs over three years, rank every lease in a field by decline, size the gap between permitted and injected disposal capacity in a district. It runs against the whole record in the background and lands in your workspace as a page or a report.
- ✦Every Wolfcamp permit in Reeves since 2020, by operator, with spud rates
- ✦Disposal capacity versus volume for each county in District 8
- ✦Which of our customers' competitors entered our counties this year
Why you would want it
The job it does is the one nobody on the team has time for and everybody wishes was done.
- Coverage without reading.
- Texas files hundreds of permits a week, plus completions, transfers, and injection permits. A six-county territory is dozens of filings a week that nobody reads in full. The agent reads all of them, every time.
- The same questions, every week.
- A brief asks the same questions the same way, so a trend shows up the week it starts rather than the quarter you notice it. Consistency is what a dashboard promises and a person rarely keeps.
- Speed to signal.
- Petrora keys on the day a permit first appears in the Commission's daily files, days ahead of feeds that wait for the weekly roll-up. The brief about yesterday arrives this morning.
- Proof you can forward.
- Every sentence links to the records. Send the brief to a manager or a client and they can check every claim without asking you how you know.
What a brief looks like
Short, in order of what matters, with a link under every claim. The shape of a sentence, not a real week:
"Diamondback filed eleven Reeves permits this week, their most since March, four targeting Wolfcamp B."
Each number in a sentence like that is a count from the record, each name links to its page, and the eleven permits are listed under Sources. If the agent cannot source a claim, the claim is not in the brief.
- 1What changedTwo or three sentences on the week against the prior period: filings up or down, who drove it, what they targeted.
- 2MoversOperators whose pace changed, with counts and the prior period beside them, each linked to the operator's page and the permits.
- 3NewNew entrants in your counties, first permits in a formation, new disposal permits and transfers, each linked.
- 4Watches that firedEach standing watch that triggered, with the agent's short write-up of what it found.
- 5SourcesEvery permit, well, lease, and event the brief relied on, by number, so the whole thing can be audited.
What sets it apart
It writes. It does not wait to be looked at.
A dashboard shows what you ask it to and waits. An analyst tells you what changed and what it means. This is the second thing, with the first behind every link.
Your AI or ours.
Run the brief through the assistant you already pay for, using the connector and your own prompts, or let Petrora run it on a schedule. The data, the tools, and the citations are the same either way.
Nothing confidential leaves your company.
The record is public. The only thing the agent knows about you is which counties, operators, and formations you watch. There is no document to upload and no approval to seek.
Counted, not estimated.
A brief says what was filed and what it compares to. No forecasts, no nowcasts, no "likely". When a source lags, the brief says the month it is reported through.
Standing orders you can share.
A brief is a definition: the territory, the questions, the cadence. Share the definition with a colleague and they get the same brief for their counties. The best ones become templates.
From watchlists to briefs
- TodayA watchlist saves a permit search and emails the new rows each day.
- 1The daily email becomes a narrative brief: what changed, who moved, what is new, with every row still underneath.
- 2Standing watches: conditions beyond a permit search, and an investigation when one fires.
- 3Queued analysis that lands as a page in your Studio, and brief definitions you can share.
