We are building the future of well delivery

PrePad’s origins trace back to Shell, where a team of engineers developed an early prototype using a sophisticated network of Excel workbooks, custom code, and decades of operational domain experience. The result was the Integrated Systems Model — a tool built by engineers, for engineers — designed to capture the complex interdependencies between drilling, completions, reservoir, and economic decisions.

Recognizing a broader industry need, the founding team evolved the concept from internal R&D at Shell and launched PrePad as an independent company — with Shell’s support. Product development began with a clear mission: empower operators to test, refine, and optimize plans before putting capital on the line.

We launched our first completions module with a modern user interface. Pilot projects with Shell Canada, Artis Exploration, and Devon Energy validated the platform in live operations, demonstrating its value in the field.

PrePad expanded to include Drilling, Reservoir, and Economics modules. Early adopters participated in paid pilots and consulting engagements, helping shape the product with real-world feedback and frontline insight.

We launched our full Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) offering, focused on completions planning. Devon Energy joined as a strategic partner. Operators now had a purpose-built tool to reduce planning cycles, improve design confidence, and maximize capital efficiency.

With clients across North America, PrePad continues to evolve—releasing new features driven by operator feedback and field priorities. We’re building with our users to solve the challenges that matter most to high-performing teams.
