iStore

What iStore does

iStore (The Information Store, Inc.) is a private Texas-incorporated software and services firm founded in 1994 that serves oil and gas exploration and production (E&P) operators. The company addresses data fragmentation, sluggish reserves evaluation, and operational inefficiency across the upstream value chain by combining domain-specific software with petrotechnical consulting. Its target customers are oil and gas professionals and E&P companies requiring structured access to well, field, and reservoir data for reserves reporting, production analysis, and asset management.

The product portfolio is structured as a platform-plus-module architecture. QVA® (Quick Valuation Analytics) is the flagship product, providing organized access to reserves and production data with valuation and evaluation workflows. QQDM is a web-based technology tool supporting petroleum engineering, geosciences, and data management processes. PetroTrek® Toolkit functions as an add-on module for specialized petroleum engineering and field-level technical computing. Services — Asset Optimization, Petrotechnical Consulting, Data Management, and Solution Configuration — sit alongside the software, indicating a hybrid product-plus-advisory delivery model. A Cloud-Hosted Solutions line extends the offering to hosted delivery.

iStore operates a hybrid software-and-services revenue model: license/subscription-style products paired with petrotechnical and data management consulting engagements. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. The firm is headquartered in Houston, Texas (registered agent address), employs 11-50 people, and serves the Americas. No funding rounds, acquisitions, parent-company relationships, or leadership changes are documented in the available sources, consistent with a long-running, bootstrapped, operator-led micro-cap.

Direct peers

• Quorum Software: Quorum provides software purpose-built for the oil and gas value chain, including upstream operations, production, accounting, and land management. It directly competes with iStore in serving E&P operators with industry-specific data and workflow software.
• P2 Energy Solutions: P2 offers specialized upstream oil and gas software for land management, reserves, production accounting, and well data. Its focus on E&P data management and reserves overlaps directly with iStore's QVA and QQDM capabilities.
• Well Data Labs: Well Data Labs delivers well-level data analytics and digital workflows for completions and production optimization. It competes with iStore in providing modern, web-based E&P data tools to upstream operators focused on production decisions.
• Rogii: Rogii (formerly StarSteer) offers directional drilling, geosteering, and well planning software for oil and gas operators. It overlaps with iStore's drilling and well-level analytics offerings within the E&P value chain.

Broad incumbents

• Enverus: Enverus is a large SaaS and analytics platform serving the entire energy value chain with subsurface, operational, and financial data. While broader in scope than iStore, it directly competes in providing E&P data and analytics workflows to upstream operators.
• TGS: TGS provides multi-client geoscience data, seismic libraries, and reservoir intelligence to the upstream oil and gas industry. Its data assets and reservoir analytics intersect with iStore's petroleum engineering and geosciences data management workflows.
• Paradigm (Emerson E&P Software): Emerson's Paradigm division provides seismic processing, reservoir characterization, and E&P interpretation software. As a large incumbent, it competes in the same upstream data and interpretation space where iStore's PetroTrek and QVA products operate.
• Landmark Graphics (Halliburton): Landmark is Halliburton's E&P software arm, offering DecisionSpace for exploration, drilling, and production. It is a broad incumbent competing with iStore across multiple upstream software categories from a much larger resource base.
• SLB (formerly Schlumberger): SLB operates the Delfi digital E&P platform spanning exploration through production, with deep integration across its services portfolio. As the largest oilfield services player, it competes broadly with iStore in upstream data, reservoir, and production software.

Emerging players

• Ikon Science: Ikon Science provides rock physics, geo-prediction, and reservoir analytics software for upstream operators. It overlaps with iStore's geoscience and reservoir-focused capabilities as a smaller, specialized competitor.
