ComboCurve

What ComboCurve does

ComboCurve is a Houston, Texas-based SaaS company that provides a cloud-based reserves analysis, production forecasting, and economic evaluation platform for the oil and gas industry. Founded in 2017 by CEO Armand Paradis, the company sells to upstream operators (EQT, Marathon Oil, Hilcorp, Permian Resources, Mewbourne, Tap Rock), banks and advisors (RBC Capital Markets, JP Morgan, Moelis, Piper Sandler, NSAI, Ryder Scott, Cawley Gillespie & Associates), minerals and non-operators (Sitio Royalties, Mesa Minerals, Elk Range Royalties, Windswept Royalties), and A&D firms, positioning itself as a modern replacement for legacy petroleum engineering tools such as ARIES, PHDwin, and Excel-based workflows.

The platform is built around three integrated modules: ComboCore (the core forecasting and economics engine, with auto-forecasting capable of processing 25,000 wells in minutes using 30+ configurable variables, SPEE-aligned probabilistic multi-segment type curves producing P10/P50/P90 outputs, proximity-mode forecasting that leverages analog wells, and economic sensitivity analysis supporting up to 10 concurrent scenarios across 75,000 wells); ComboSync (a fully automated, no-code data integration service that maintains bidirectional data flow with 50+ endpoints including ARIES, PHDwin, Enverus, TGS, WellDatabase, AWS, Azure, GCP, Snowflake, Redshift, Oracle, MS SQL, and MongoDB); and ComboCarbon (a GHG emissions forecasting and carbon network modeling module for decarbonization planning and Scope 1/2 disclosure). A Python-accessible REST API supports automated data ingestion and extraction, and ComboUniversity provides self-paced and instructor-led certification courses. The platform is SOC 1 Type II and SOC 2 Type II certified, supporting enterprise procurement at financial institutions and public-company operators.

ComboCurve generates revenue primarily through annual or multi-year SaaS subscriptions sold as named user or concurrent user licenses for the ComboCore, ComboSync, and ComboCarbon modules, supplemented by professional services for implementation, training, and data migration from legacy systems. A no-cost Manual Upload tier (CSV/ARIES/PHDwin import) functions as a freemium entry point. The company sells primarily through direct enterprise field sales to large operators, banks, and institutional customers, with a parallel inside-sales motion targeting SMB and mid-market operators and minerals buyers, and an API-first motion for clients with dedicated IT teams. ComboCurve has raised $60M in total funding, including a $50M Series 2 in April 2022 led by Bessemer Venture Partners and Dragoneer Investment Group.

Core offering

ComboCurve sells a cloud-based oil and gas reserves analysis platform (ComboCore) that automates production forecasting, generates probabilistic type curves, and runs economic sensitivities at scale. It is sold alongside ComboSync for no-code bidirectional data integration with legacy systems (ARIES, PHDwin) and cloud data warehouses, and ComboCarbon for GHG emissions forecasting and net-zero carbon network modeling. Customers are primarily upstream E&P operators, banks and reserves auditors, minerals and non-operators, A&D firms, and midstream companies.

Product overview

ComboCurve is an all-in-one cloud-based oil and gas reserves analysis platform that unifies forecasting, type curves, economics, and emissions planning. The portfolio consists of three integrated modules: ComboCore (the core platform providing auto-forecasting, probabilistic type curves, and integrated economics), ComboSync (automated data integration connecting third-party sources and internal databases), and ComboCarbon (GHG emissions forecasting and decarbonization planning). The platform replaces legacy silos of multiple software packages by providing a single integrated environment for reserves engineers, A&D professionals, and asset managers to evaluate wells, run economics, and manage carbon compliance.

Products and services

• ComboCore Core forecasting and economics platform that enables users to evaluate drillcos, minerals, ORRIs, and operated deals at scale. Provides auto-forecasting (up to 25,000 wells in minutes with 30+ configurable variables), probabilistic type curves based on SPEE guidelines (P10, P50, P90), Proximity Mode analog-based forecasting, and integrated economics with up to 10 concurrent scenarios across 75,000 wells per run. Built for upstream operators, A&D teams, minerals companies, banks, and reserves auditors.
• ComboSync Fully automated, no-code, end-to-end data integration service that handles bidirectional data flow between client sources and ComboCurve without client-side coding. Supports 50+ endpoint connections across multiple data stores, cloud providers (AWS, Azure, GCP, Snowflake), and third-party subscriptions (Enverus, TGS, ARIES, PHDwin, S&P Global Energy, WellDatabase, Quorum, TDM/EnergyIQ). Single-connection deployments can be delivered in as fast as one hour, with typical Discovery-to-Deployment in under two weeks.
• ComboCarbon Greenhouse gas emissions forecasting and carbon network modeling module that enables users to build GHG emission forecasts, create network models representing assets, hydrocarbon flows, and emission sources, evaluate decarbonization projects, and generate transparent disclosures for regulators and investors. Built for oil and gas operators planning net-zero pathways and reporting carbon metrics.

Direct peers

• ARIES (Geological and Geophysical): Legacy petroleum economics and reserves software that ComboCurve directly displaces. ComboCurve offers bidirectional integration with ARIES as a transition strategy, but ARIES remains the incumbent with entrenched relationships at E&P operators.
• PHDwin: Long-standing petroleum economic evaluation software with similar forecasting, type curve, and economics functionality. Like ARIES, ComboCurve integrates bidirectionally with PHDwin and competes head-on for reserves and A&D workflows.
• Enverus: Broad energy SaaS and data platform covering upstream analytics, reserves, and A&D workflows. ComboCurve integrates with Enverus for data feeds but competes for analytical workflow ownership, especially among large operators and A&D firms.
• Novi Labs: AI-native oil and gas production analytics platform serving similar E&P operator and minerals customer base. Competes with ComboCurve on forecasting and reserves workflows with a data-science-led approach.

Broad incumbents

• Halliburton Landmark (DecisionSpace): Major oilfield services software suite offering reservoir, drilling, and production software to E&P operators globally. Competes with ComboCurve as part of a broader enterprise software bundle rather than a focused forecasting/economics tool.
• Schlumberger / SLB (Petrel, Eclipse): Global oilfield services giant with reservoir simulation and production software used by major operators. Offers overlapping reserves and forecasting capability as part of a much larger integrated digital ecosystem.

Others

• TGS: Energy data and intelligence provider whose well and geological data feeds are integrated into ComboCurve via ComboSync. Complementary ecosystem participant rather than a direct competitor in analytics workflows.
• Spotfire (TIBCO): Enterprise data visualization and analytics platform used within oil & gas. ComboCurve integrates Spotfire for minerals and non-ops analytics rather than competing directly, making it an enabling ecosystem peer.

Emerging players

• CruxOCM: Emerging midstream-focused operations software company targeting oil & gas operators with adjacent workflow automation. Overlaps with ComboCurve's midstream customer segment and represents emerging competition in operational workflows.
• Validere: Energy data and AI platform serving upstream and midstream operators with measurement, scheduling, and analytics. Partial overlap with ComboCurve's upstream and midstream forecasting use cases.
