About Belltree
We are a global software provider and energy advisory business. Our technical teams consists of reservoir engineers, geologists, data analysts and data scientists working alongside our supporting business development and administrative teams. For more than 17 years, we have been a trusted partner of government regulators, National Oil Companies and International Energy Operators working to maximise asset performance and identify hidden reserves potential in a sustainable manner.
Unlike many consultancies, we go further than just the traditional field-level, details orientated approach by adding a broader data-driven analysis of our client’s field performance within the context of regional and global analogue datasets. This unique approach to understanding field value is enabled by the application of our industry leading software program, bMark™.
Since launch in 2015, bMark™ has allowed users to discover the value story of their assets, empowering teams with instant access to an independent, global and statistically robust technical database of 51,000+ oil & gas assets, 15,000+ industrial emissions sources, the global energy transmission network and, via our new bMark™>CCS module, 300+ current and planned CO2 storage projects.
bMark™ is utilised by key decision makers in the industry to minimize risk and inform investment decisions by interrogating data using advanced analytics and predictive benchmarking algorithms within the easy-to-learn interface. These workflows complement traditional engineering, geoscience and commercial workflows to harness maximum value from assets or portfolios.
We are evolving with the industry and branching our focus to the energy transition, creating new intelligence and data-driven tools to inform decision makers in the energy revolution. As experts in maximizing asset performance, we are developing a new data-driven tool to optimize asset potential though Carbon Capture and Storage, facilitating net zero carbon goals for governments and operators worldwide.
