Geologic Reservoirs

We develop science-informed ML methods and software for planning and optimizing geologic engineering projects. Our AI/ML product, GeoML, helps teams characterize and manage subsurface reservoirs. A critical aspect of our work is to address multi-use challenges when the same reservoir is applied to different purposes.

Our work happens in

Communities

We aim to never lose sight of the fact that our work is intricately connected to people and places.

Family

Inclusivity and Equitability

Our company promotes inclusive and equitable research. For us, it is crucial to develop a company which is diverse, representative, and accessible to individuals from a wide range of backgrounds. We aim to include in our work researchers with different cultural, racial, educational, socioeconomic, gender and gender identity, sexual orientation, disabilities, neurodiverse conditions, religious and philosophical beliefs, and life experiences. We work actively with members of underprivileged and underrepresented communities. Our company is a member of the American Indian Chamber of Commerce of New Mexico and Women in Geothermal (WING). Our company credo is "Small Tech, Big Ideas, Diverse Minds: Innovate Together".

Environmental and Energy Justice

Environmental and energy justice are interconnected concepts that focus on fairness in how environmental burdens and benefits are distributed. We are committed to promoting environmental and energy justice in our work. The pursuit of environmental and energy justice requires: Community engagement: Meaningful participation of impacted communities in decision-making processes. Policy solutions: Government policies that address environmental racism, promote clean energy access, and ensure a just transition for all. Public awareness: Raising awareness about these issues and mobilizing support for solutions. By working towards environmental and energy justice, we can create a more equitable and sustainable future for all.

Community Engagement

Our company has created a community engagement plan (CEP). Developing a CEP is a comprehensive process that involves understanding the needs and preferences of diverse communities, setting clear objectives, and implementing strategies to foster meaningful connections and participation. Community engagement is an ongoing process that requires dedication and flexibility. Building trust and meaningful relationships with communities takes time, so patience and persistence is important. Our CEP has been developed by soliciting input from members and organizations associated with underprivileged and underrepresented communities, including Native American Nations and Tribes. We have contacted these groups and asked for their feedback on what they want to see in the CEP. We have also looked at the data on these groups and tried to understand their needs and challenges. These efforts have helped us develop a CEP tailored to these communities' specific needs. We believe this is important because it ensures that the CEP is relevant and effective for the people using it. Our CEP is living documents regularly updated to address needs and opportunities.

Education and Outreach

Our company is committed to providing educational and outreach opportunities to underprivileged and underrepresented communities. We are working to develop educational programs and materials that are accessible to a wide range of learners. Our strategies and activities include workshops, webinars, videos, public events and campaigns, brochures, fact sheets, interactive learning, citizen science projects, and educational materials designed to engage and educate diverse audiences. We are building partnerships with schools, universities, and community organizations to expand our reach and impact.

Land Acknowledgement

Our company acknowledges that the place now called Santa Fe, where our office is located, sits on unceded ancestral Tewa Land and is still recognized as O'gha Po'oge, meaning White Shell Water Place. We recognize that this land is just one piece of a larger, boundless terrain for Indigenous peoples that include the Nambe Pueblo, the Tewa, and the Jicarilla Apache. O'gha Po'oge was once a thriving Pueblo village, and their descendants include the modern-day Tewa people who still live in Santa Fe and the local Pueblos of Nambe, Pojoaque, San Ildefonso, Ohkay Owingeh, Santa Clara and Tesuque. We also recognize the violence, displacement, migration, and colonization that haunt this place. We understand we are now stewards of this land, responsible for the care of water, air, and each other. In addition, we pledge to donate a percentage of the profit from our commercial services developed under our R&D projects to a local non-profit organization supporting the education of Native American students.

Open Source and Data

Our company develops and maintains open-source software and data. We believe that open-source software and data are essential for the scientific research community. Especially in the field of AI/ML, where this is crucial for the development of new methods and the validation of existing ones. The AI/ML building blocks are open source also to provide transparency and acceptability. Our commercial software is built on top of these open-source building blocks. Demonstrative examples, test cases, and results are available to the public to ensure the reproducibility of our work. We also provide detailed documentation and tutorials to help users understand and use our software and data.

Research Community

We are committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive community of research contributors and collaborators. We are working to create a scientific community that is welcoming and inclusive to all, regardless of background or identity. We are actively collaborating with minority-serving institutions and organizations to promote diversity and inclusion.
