Engineering + Data + Execution

What We Do

We turn engineering tools into production results.

Clay Engineers combines four practical capabilities to help operators recover lost production, reduce unaccounted losses, improve reliability, and optimize operational decisions.

Through

01Hydraulic modeling

Production system modeling and network behavior.

02Flow assurance

Operability studies, constraints, and throughput risks.

03Data integration

Measurements, analytics, monitoring, and decisions.

04Practical engineering execution

Actionable plans, inspections, projects, and implementation.

Results

Increase production
Reduce unaccounted losses
Improve system reliability
Optimize operational decisions

The Problem

Hidden losses. Higher costs. Poor decisions.

Oil and gas systems often operate with limited visibility. When measurements, models, and operational response are disconnected, losses remain hidden until they become expensive.

Disconnected visibility turns technical uncertainty into production and financial impact.

Systems often operate with

Unidentified production lossesLosses are not detected or localized.
Incomplete or unreliable measurementsField data is uncertain or disconnected.
Limited visibility of system behaviorReal performance is not fully understood.
Inefficient maintenance strategiesResources are spent without clear impact.

That result in

Lost productionIncreased operating costsPoor decision-making

Our Approach

An integrated approach that drives results.

We integrate engineering, data, and operations through a continuous improvement loop.

ModelEngineering models define system behavior.
MonitorData validates and updates models.
OptimizeOptimization improves performance.
MaintainMaintenance ensures long-term reliability.

Proven Impact

Case Study: Gas Pipeline Network Study

Venezuela · Feb. 2026

4.5 MMscfd of unaccounted gas

$5M – $11M annual impact

Problem: Large mismatch between injected and delivered gas in a 32 km network with 8 sources.

Approach: Hydraulic simulation + mass balance and scenario modeling (ideal vs real).

Results: Localized losses, targeted inspection, and an actionable plan.

Outcome: Targeted inspection strategy, reduced uncertainty, and high-impact operational decisions.
