What Aucerna does

Aucerna, founded in 2005 and headquartered in Calgary, Canada, is an energy industry software provider specializing in integrated planning, execution, and reserves workflows. The company has been acquired by Quorum Software (Quorum Business Solutions, Inc.) and now operates as the Planning, Economics and Reserves division within the Quorum Software Group of Companies, rebranded from its former independent identity. Aucerna's product suite targets upstream, midstream, measurement, and renewable energy companies, delivering cloud-based solutions for production planning and forecasting, reserves estimation, capital management, well delivery planning, asset development simulation, and reservoir-to-market system modeling.

The product architecture is a platform-plus-modules design centered on Planning Space, an integrated cloud-based Planning, Economics and Financials solution, and supplemented by specialized products: Val Nav (economics and reserves), Enersight (field development modeling), Execute Suite/AFE Navigator (capital management and well delivery planning), PetroVR (full-cycle asset exploration and development simulation), and Previso (integrated extraction, production, and distribution modeling). Aucerna built much of this portfolio through acquisition, having acquired Energy Navigator (2017), Aclaro Softworks (2017), Micotan (2019), and Previso (2020). The technology is purpose-built for enterprise energy workflows, with quote-based pricing and a sales-assisted "Request a Demo" buying process.

Aucerna's go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting the global energy ecosystem, with cloud-based subscription delivery and recurring revenue mechanics. Its products are now distributed as part of the Quorum Energy Suite across both North America and Global upstream, midstream/LNG, and measurement segments. The company employs 251-500 people and serves energy operators with mission-critical planning, economics, and reserves requirements, with no specific customer logos or revenue figures publicly disclosed.

Direct peers

• Petrosys: Petrosys provides geoscience, mapping, and engineering planning software for the upstream sector, closely aligned with Aucerna's Enersight and Planning Space asset-level planning capabilities.
• Enverus: Enverus provides energy-focused SaaS for analytics, planning, land, and reserves management, directly competing with Aucerna's Planning Space, Val Nav, and Enersight offerings for upstream E&P customers.
• P2 Energy Solutions: P2 Energy Solutions offers upstream production, reserves, and land management software, closely overlapping with Aucerna's Val Nav, Planning Space, and Execute Suite/AFE Navigator workflows.

Broad incumbents

• KBC (Yokogawa): KBC, now part of Yokogawa, delivers process simulation, energy management, and operational optimization software for the energy and process industries, with PetroVR/Previso-style simulation capabilities in an adjacent portfolio.
• Aspen Technology (Emerson): AspenTech provides asset optimization and industrial AI software across process industries, including energy. Its optimization and digital twin capabilities overlap with Aucerna's PetroVR and Previso simulation offerings, though at a broader industrial scale.
• SLB (Schlumberger) DELFI: SLB's DELFI E&P cloud platform competes broadly with Aucerna across planning, economics, and production workflows, backed by much larger R&D and integrated subsurface offerings.
• Halliburton Landmark: Halliburton's Landmark division delivers DecisionSpace and related E&P software, competing with Aucerna across planning, economics, and reserves, with the advantage of deep integration into Halliburton's services franchise.
• Oracle Energy (formerly Primavera / Oracle Oil & Gas): Oracle offers upstream E&P software spanning planning, economics, and operations, making it a broad incumbent competitor to Aucerna's Planning Space, Val Nav, and Execute Suite within large enterprise customers.

Emerging players

• Energy Toolbase: Energy Toolbase provides project planning and financial modeling software for solar, storage, and distributed energy projects, addressing the renewable energy planning use case Aucerna lists as a secondary segment.
• Ikon Science: Ikon Science offers geoscience and reservoir engineering software, with overlap to Aucerna's subsurface and asset-level planning workflows (Enersight, PetroVR, Previso) in a more specialized niche.
