What Linqx does

LINQX is a privately held Houston, Texas-based software company founded in 1992 that provides cloud-based industrial analytics and engineering software to the oil and gas industry. It sells 24+ specialized products covering the full well lifecycle, including drilling engineering tools (HYDPRO, TADPRO, DEPRO, BHAPRO, Dr. DE), drilling fluids management (MUDPRO, MudManager, SolidsPRO), cementing systems (CEMPRO, CEMLab, CentraDesign, CEMLife), wellbore optimization (CleanMax, TMPRO), stimulation (FracPro, StimPro, XOPS), plug and abandonment (PlugPRO), and oilfield logistics (LogistixIQ). The platform's underlying architecture combines physics-based engineering simulators with AI-powered analytics dashboards, WITSML real-time data integration, REST APIs for third-party connectivity, and mobile companion apps (Dr. DE Lite), targeting oil and gas operators (E&Ps) and oilfield service companies across more than 65 countries.

The company monetizes primarily through quote-based annual software subscriptions and enterprise licensing with network seat options, selling via direct enterprise field sales with a demo-based motion and custom onboarding. Its customer base includes named enterprises such as Hess Corporation, YPF, Orlen, ProFrac, and NAPESCO, totaling 350+ to 450+ accounts and 14,000+ licensed users. Following the 2024 acquisition of Pegasus Vertex (PVI) and the 2025 acquisition of LogistixIQ, LINQX has positioned itself as a unified digital solutions provider spanning engineering design, real-time operations, and logistics automation across the well lifecycle.

Broad incumbents

• Emerson (Paradigm):
• Halliburton Landmark (DecisionSpace): Halliburton's Landmark division offers DecisionSpace, an integrated E&P software suite covering drilling, geoscience and production. It competes head-on with LINQX in drilling engineering, torque-and-drag and well planning, but as part of Halliburton's full oilfield services portfolio rather than as a specialist.
• Schlumberger (SLB) - Petrel & DrillPlan: SLB's Petrel and DrillPlan platforms cover drilling engineering, well planning and stimulation across the well lifecycle. It is a direct functional competitor to LINQX's HYDPRO, TADPRO, DEPRO and FracPro products but is bundled into SLB's broader digital and oilfield services portfolio.
• Baker Hughes (JewelSuite): Baker Hughes' JewelSuite offers drilling, completions and production engineering software, including torque-and-drag and hydraulic-fracturing modules overlapping with LINQX's TADPRO, HYDPRO and FracPro. It is a direct functional peer in drilling/stimulation software but distributed through Baker Hughes' larger oilfield services and digital franchise.
