A flexible LAS ingestion platform that reads what's in the file, routes to the right analyses, and produces client-ready reports—without a third-party tool in the middle.
InDepth's workflow is built on Kappa. It doesn't have to be.
Right now, turning a job into a client report means moving data through Kappa, Excel, and manual PDF assembly—every single time. The expertise is InDepth's. The bottleneck is the toolchain.
The new direction is to build a self-sustained platform that starts from raw LAS files and ends with a finished, client-ready report. No Kappa. No Excel copy-paste. No manual reformatting.
The platform inspects each file, detects which curves are present, decides which analyses are possible, and produces only what the data supports—automatically.
Upload the job. Review the analysis. Export the report. That's the vision.
The current workflow is held together by external tools, manual steps, and institutional knowledge that lives only in people's heads.
Every derived curve, every plot, every depth correction runs through a tool InDepth doesn't control and can't customize.
Some files have 5 curves. Others have CCL, gamma ray, ILS, and time fields. The workflow has to adapt—but right now it doesn't.
Spinner fallback logic, valve detection rules, density interpretation—this expertise lives with Matt, not in software.
Build the platform Kappa was never designed to be.
The LAS file is already the canonical data source. Every curve, every depth increment, every measurement is in there. The opportunity is to build a system that reads that data directly and routes it intelligently—without any middle layer.
One row per depth increment. DEPT, ADEN, CFM, PRES, TEMP as the baseline. Resilient to schema variations across file types.
Inspect each file on upload. Detect which curves are present. Route to only the analyses that dataset supports—no manual configuration.
Calculate derivative temperature in-app. Implement CFM/ILS spinner fallback logic. No Kappa required for interpreted outputs.
Standard plots from 5-curve files. Full GLV analysis when CCL and gamma ray are present. Customer-specific add-ons as the platform matures.
Auto-mark valve positions when CCL and gamma ray are available. Compare detected positions against customer-supplied depths. Flag mismatches.
ADEN ~0.02 means gas. ADEN ~1.01 means water. CFM clogged means fall back to ILS for the full report. These rules go in the system, permanently.
Long-term: Upload the job data. Review the analysis. Export the report. No Kappa. No Excel. No manual assembly.
Start with a 30-Day Sprint. Build from There.
Rather than committing to the full build upfront, we start with a focused sprint to lay the foundation and prove the approach. After that, we continue in phases based on results and priorities.
The foundation layer: a robust parser, intelligent routing, and the first working charts and report assembly—without Kappa.
The core engine everything else depends on.
Inspect the file. Decide what's possible. Build only what the data supports.
Direct from LAS data. No Kappa export required.
Encode the decision rules that currently live only in Matt's head.
Structured output, auto-assembled into a client-ready document.
The Full Roadmap
After the sprint, we continue building in phases. Priorities are set together based on what delivers the most value to InDepth's workflow.
CCL and gamma ray-based valve detection, interactive wellbore visualization, derived curves, and pre-job planning tools.
AI-powered flow analysis trained on InDepth's expertise, customer portal, production logs, and operational management tools.
30-Day Sprint Schedule
Start Small. Scale Based on Results.
The 30-day sprint is the entry point. After that, we continue building based on priorities and progress.
Prove the concept. Deliver working software.
Full Kappa replacement, built incrementally over ~5 months.
Prioritized together based on what delivers the most value.
Keep the system running smoothly, forever.
Starts after initial build is complete.

Ongoing maintenance forever
A proprietary platform that encodes InDepth's expertise and removes every external dependency.
InDepth's competitive advantage has always been the quality of the analysis. This platform puts that advantage into software—so it scales with the business, not just with the hours Matt has available.
Ready to build something you own?
The 30-day sprint delivers the foundation: a working parser, a routing engine, real charts from real LAS data, and a first draft report—without Kappa. Everything that comes after builds on that.
