New Oilfield Service Helping to Minimize Costs

MIDLAND, Texas - June 11, 2015 - PRLog -- While oil prices remain steady in Spring 2015, drilling begins to pick up slowly, but surely.  During the downturn, a start-up company in the Permian Basin has sought out to alleviate complications in the Oil and Gas Industry.  These complications can only be seen at the field level and are usually overseen by industry leaders.  Petronaut, an oilfield directory tailored to the Permian Basin, is reshaping the way information is presented.  Over 3,000 oil & gas company’s attributes have been displayed in an interactive directory.  The platform allows for companies to showcase their products and services, while improving their Internet presence for free.  It is completely interactive; oilfield company’s personnel can add and edit their profile page in Petronaut. This will allow the directory to be incredibly accurate and self-sufficient.  Petronaut is the only search engine of the oilfield.  Users can search by companies, sectors, products, services, and locations.

  The oilfield has been waiting for a service like this. Petronaut gives the opportunity for companies to improve communications and logistics. For instance, trucking companies can feel comfortable allowing their drivers to use Petronaut to locate and contact businesses.  This will optimize their operations. Drivers will be able to call their prospective destination ahead of time to ensure quick unloading.  Also, they can use Petronaut to direct them to their destination.  A MapIt! Feature allows for users to click a button and a route has been generated for them.  The platform seeks to reduce unnecessary downtimes and miscommunications in logistic operations.

  While assisting field operations, the platform has assisted operations conducted in the office.  With a one-click search engine, operators can sort through potential vendors.  They can view company’s products allowing them compare and contrast services.  It is their one stop shop for anything they are looking for in the oilfield. Vendors now have an advantage over their competitors. Petronaut has created a level playing field for all oilfield companies to showcase their features.

         The platform has organized and structured information that was once difficult to access.  Petronaut is seeking to renovate the way the oilfield views vital information.  Other directory providers charge for access to the information, or charge for companies to add their attributes.  Petronaut does not believe in these models.  Our model is simple: Establish accessibility for everyone in the oil and gas industry.  We believe that we can connect the oilfield through due diligence.  The platform would have not been unique if it did not have the comprehensiveness of the Permian Basin.  Physically locating every company was a priority.  Discovering company’s products and services was a must.  Verifying their contact information was an essential part of the directories accurateness.  Categorizing companies into 8 different sectors structures the information so that it is easily navigable.

Developing Petronaut was not about creating a better directory; it’s about improving the oilfield’s weaknesses.  Optimizing logistics and improving communications will create a stronger industry.  With Petronaut leading the way, the oilfield will become more efficient.  The directory platform is a progressive step towards the Petronaut vision.
