It connects to the rig's EDR, cleans the data with onboard AI and streams it to the cloud. Your team drills from live KPIs in Flux EDR and geology in PathFinder, and every other system gets the same feed over WITSML.
Overview
Flux takes rig data from the EDR to the cloud. Your team works with it in Flux EDR and PathFinder, and your other systems receive it over WITSML.
Our unit at the wellsite. It reads the EDR over the network or RS-232, cleans the data with onboard AI, and keeps it safe on its SSD when the link drops.
See Flux Core →
The web app for live rig data and drilling analytics. Drilling tracks, rig states and alerts, with KPIs such as ROP, connection times and footage per day.

Rig data delivered to the systems you already use. 1‑second WITSML 1.3 and 2.0 over sockets, and works with the OSDU® Data Platform.

Flux Core sits at the wellsite next to the EDR. It checks the rig's data at the source and sends it to the cloud, which serves Flux EDR, PathFinder and any system that speaks WITSML.
The rig's existing data system.
Cleans the data with onboard AI and buffers it if the link drops.
Fills any gaps and serves the data to your users and systems.
Live view, dashboard and analytics in the browser.
Geosteering on live rig data.
RTOC, operator and geosteering systems.
WITSML 1.3 / 2.0Flux Core
Flux Core sits at the wellsite, next to the rig's EDR. It reads the rig's data, cleans it with onboard AI and sends it to the cloud. When the internet drops, it keeps recording.
Connects to the rig's existing EDR over the network or an RS-232 serial line.
When the rig's internet drops, Flux Core keeps recording to its SSD and fills the gap as soon as the link is back.
An NVIDIA Jetson runs data cleanup, rig-state and sidetrack detection at the wellsite, where the data is recorded.
A compact anodized-aluminium case, actively cooled for round-the-clock running, with one button and a lit status ring.
Everything it needs to run on its own at the wellsite.
Runs the onboard AI: data cleanup, rig states and sidetrack detection.
The offline buffer that keeps every sample when the link drops.
The board's own ports, at the back of the case.
One button on the front, with a lit ring.
Onboard AI
Three models run on the NVIDIA Jetson inside Flux Core. They check the rig's data at the wellsite, before it reaches the cloud, and keep working when the link drops.
Spikes, frozen sensors, depth jumps and dropouts are caught as each channel arrives. Every dashboard, KPI and WITSML feed works from the same clean stream.
Hookload, block height, depth, weight on bit, rotary speed and pressure show what the rig is doing: drilling, sliding, connections, circulating or tripping. No manual tagging.
Flux Core spots when the bit leaves the original hole and starts a new leg, then splits the data at that depth. Each leg keeps its own logs and surveys, with no overlapping depths to clean up by hand.
Works offline. If the rig's internet drops, detection keeps running. Results are stored on the SSD with the data and sent when the link returns.
Flux EDR
Flux EDR is the web app for drilling teams: live rig data, rig states and KPIs worked out for you, and analytics across every well. Geology comes from PathFinder, and Claude can work with the same data.
The live view, about a second behind the rig.
The well at a glance, for the office and the rig.
Performance over time, by well and across wells.
Flux Core detects rig states as it records, so every KPI is calculated automatically, per stand, BHA run, hole section, well and crew. No manual tagging, no spreadsheets.
Formation tops, the target zone and the latest geosteering interpretation flow from PathFinder into Flux EDR, and the rig data flows back. Both apps work from the same well, with the same surveys, logs, tops and offsets, so drillers and geologists never compare two versions.
Through the PathFinder connector for Claude, engineers can ask about a well in plain language. Claude works from the same data, down to every connection in the 1‑second record, so it can find where time is lost, compare crews and offsets, or draft the morning report.
Flux WITSML
Flux WITSML serves every Flux well as a live feed in WITSML 1.3 and 2.0, and works with the OSDU Data Platform. Geosteering, RTOC and operator systems connect with the clients they already use, whatever EDR the rig runs.
One source for older systems on WITSML 1.x and newer platforms built on ETP streaming.
Data streams as it arrives instead of in batches, so consumers stay about a second behind the rig.
When the rig's internet drops, Flux Core buffers to its SSD and the feed back-fills once the link returns.
The same standard feed whatever the EDR, already cleaned by onboard AI before it leaves the wellsite.

Many systems in the field still run WITSML 1.x, newer platforms stream over ETP, and operators are moving their data to OSDU. Flux serves all three from the same cleaned data, so every consumer sees the same numbers.
For established geosteering and RTOC systems
For platforms built on ETP streaming
For operator data platforms
PathFinder receives Flux data automatically. Live drilling data appears on the well next to the geosteering interpretation, with nothing to configure.
