New Oil and Gas Compliance Software Company Launched
An experienced team of software developers for the oil and gas industry announced the launch of a new company called ComplyData LLC. The company develops industry-specific software-as-a-service (SaaS) applications to address employee and compliance management issues, including US Department of Transportation operator qualification and environmental, health and safety regulations.
ComplyData also announced the launch of its flagship product, the ComplyData Intelligent Portal™ (CDIP™), a subscription-based solution that allows oil and gas companies to organize compliance, safety and regulatory information easily and effectively. The Comply Data Intelligent Portal is a centralized, flexible and affordable alternative to manual processes and database-dependent systems.
“The oil and gas industry is heavily regulated, and the ever-changing regulatory requirements can be overwhelming,” said Darla Bell, managing director of oil and gas for ComplyData. “Regulators are requiring more communication and transparency between owner/operators and contractors, so we created the ComplyData Intelligent Portal to streamline the compliance process, allowing users to spend more time building their business and less time on paperwork or database systems that are difficult to use and in many cases create more work and inefficiencies.”
The ComplyData Intelligent Portal utilizes a next-generation user interface, giving customers access to multiple applications simultaneously. It also offers an easy-to-use method of communication and compliance management between companies.
“We have spent more than 12 months working with our Customer Advisory Council and beta users to make sure the ComplyData Intelligent Portal is as efficient and easy to use as humanly possible,” said Jim Wilmsen, managing director of technology for ComplyData. “What’s more, throughout our research and development cycle, we stressed affordability. Based on the tremendous feedback from our beta users, we think we’ve struck the right balance of performance and price.”
Through the use of its proprietary Industry Specific Applications (ISAs), ComplyData is able to meet the needs of any industry that demands fast information from multiple sources. While ComplyData’s first segment concentration is on oil and gas, the company plans to expand into other industries as it grows.
“We look forward to continuing the evolution of this product and an unlimited set of applications,” said Wilmsen.

These capabilities ensure delivery of functionality with faster implementation to broader groups of participants, as well as assured business value with economical solution delivery.
WellEz Announces Streamlined Reporting Service
Houston-based WellEz Information Management LLC has launched a new service level for WellEz.NET that offers all of the rich data management and reporting capabilities, but with a standard set of pre-configured reports. This new service has been designed for those operators that do not require their field reports to be customized and desire a streamlined implementation in less than two days. WellEz.NET is based on Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), so clients only pay for the time they use the service, which eliminates the cost of installation and maintenance of expensive software.
“Many operators have a strong feeling about the exact report forms they use, while other operators do not have the same requirements,” said Charles Jeffery, WellEz President and CEO. “We are glad to accommodate both types. WellEz.NET provides customizable data collection forms and reports, where reports in our new service are based on a uniform configuration. Having served the field reporting needs of many E&P companies, we are confident that the preconfigured reports now available with this new service level will meet the reporting requirements of operators desiring a streamlined implementation.”
WellEz Information Management Launches New Website
Houston-based WellEz Information Management LLC, an operations reporting solution company, announced the launch of their new website, www.WellEz.com. The new site features in-depth information on the WellEz field reporting service for the oil and gas industry. It provides details on the WellEz reporting application, called WellEz.NET, and how the Web-based solution is used for reporting across the lifecycle of the well, from drilling to plugging and abandonment (P&A).
“We are excited to offer our clients and the energy community more information on our field reporting solutions, which are based on the Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model,” said Charles Jeffery, President and CEO. “More companies are now adopting WellEz.NET as their field reporting platform owing to its cost-effectiveness as an operations reporting solution. Clients pay for only what they use during the time that they need the service, without having to install and maintain expensive field reporting software. Our clients have found that timely, effective reporting from the field reduces costs while increasing staff productivity and the quality of decisions. This is particularly true during drilling, completions and workover operations, when significant capital is being expended over a relatively short time frame, but is also valid during daily production. I invite our clients and friends in the industry to visit our new website to learn more about the value to be derived from using the WellEz.NET field operations reporting solution.”
The new website clearly explains how the WellEz.NET Web-based reporting solution provides insight into field operations for multiple roles in the typical oil and gas business, from the field to the back office. The basic technical concepts on the SaaS reporting architecture are also highlighted.
WellEz Launches WellEz On-Demand
“WellEz On-Demand has been designed to offer continuous enhancement of the client experience, while identifying additional sources of value available to clients through WellEz services,” said Charles Jeffery, President and CEO, WellEz. “The WellEz On-Demand program is both immediately responsive and engaging with our clients, leveraging the skills of WellEz technicians who are knowledgeable on oil and gas operations. Since using WellEz.NET does not require purchasing and maintaining software, our clients can invest their time in using the information on their field operations from the WellEz.NET reporting system. Being responsive and proactive increases efficiencies for our clients, and that is our priority.”
