Six AI agents read the market around the clock, verify every signal, find the decision maker and tell you who is going to drill, 12 to 36 months before spud. While there is still time to be specified in.

Each light is a real drilling project the desk is following today, placed where it will be drilled. Gold is a Prime Lead: funded, 12 to 36 months from spud, with the decision maker on file.
Wells are won in the quiet years before anyone publishes anything: when the operator is choosing concepts, engineers and suppliers. DQ Intel puts every project on one clock, months to first spud, and tells you which window it is in.
More than three years out. No well in sight yet. The desk keeps it on file and watches for the move that makes it real.
The operator is choosing concepts, engineers and suppliers. When the money lands, the desk calls it a Prime Lead and gives you the person to call. This is the only window where a conversation changes what gets specified.
The rig is booked and the tender is public. Your competitors read the same headline. The desk marks it and stops sending it.
Each agent owns one job and hands its work to the next. Follow one real signal, Kistos sanctioning seven wells at Balder, from a line in the trade press to a drafted email.
Trade press, company releases, regulators, fleet status reports and targeted searches on every operator you watch. He matches what he reads against a library of drilling signals and throws out the noise before it costs you a second.
Vera opens the source, checks it is real and current, and works out whether this is a new project or news on one the desk already tracks. No reachable source, no lead. Every rejection is logged with a reason.
Drilling, subsurface and procurement: one named decision maker per role, with a verified work email where one exists. Rex never invents a contact. If he cannot find one, he says so.
Ada reads the text for the two things that matter: how many months to first spud, and whether the money is in. She rates the lead, writes the brief and writes the angle for what you sell.
Every morning, at the hour you choose, Iris emails you the new leads that fit what you sell and what moved on the ones you hold. One short note, not a dashboard to decode. Each person on your team sets their own days and time.
An intro to the decision maker on a lead, or a check-in when one of your leads moves, written around what you sell. Tell Quill once what your team does and how you write, and every draft reads it. Quill drafts and waits. Nothing is sent in your name without a person.
These are the desk's own screens. The leads in them are real and were live on the day this page was written; Tenders and Outreach use illustrative data, and say so.
A short, ranked feed of drilling projects in your window. Each card says who, where, how many months to spud and why it matters to what you sell.
A lead is not a headline, it is a project that keeps moving. The desk re-reads every project as news lands and tells you the moment something material changes.
Every project the desk tracks, filterable by tier, operator, geography and horizon. Open one and you get its full history: every signal, every source, every re-rating.
News alerts wait for a story to break. The Watchlist does not. Derrick goes looking for each operator you name, round after round, and brings back what he finds.
The desk reads drilling contractors' fleet status reports every week and tracks each rig to its next contract. A rig with nobody named for its next window is a lead in itself.
Market reports list what operators will need long before a tender document exists. The desk reads them, rates each requirement on the spud clock and tells you which are worth a call today.
Open a lead and ask Quill for an intro to the decision maker, or a check-in when one of your leads moves. It writes around the lead and what you actually sell, in your voice. Short, direct, no fluff. Then it waits for you.

Iris knows your feed, what moved on the leads you hold, your pipeline and the operators you watch. Ask her in plain English and she answers from your own leads, with a link to every one she names.
Hello. Ask me about your leads, what moved, your pipeline or an operator.
Iris answers from your leads and can be wrong; every lead links to its sources.
The fastest way to lose a sale is to call someone about a project that does not exist. So the desk is built around four rules it cannot break.
No reachable source, no lead. Vera rejects what she cannot verify and logs the reason. A quiet, correct feed beats a noisy one.
Every lead carries its chain of custody: which agent did what, at what time, from which source. One tap re-runs the verification.
Rex only names a decision maker he can source, and only gives an email he has verified. When he cannot, he says contact pending.
Quill drafts and waits. Nothing is sent in your name until you press the button. Your own curated leads always outrank the agents.
DQ Intel comes from DQ Offshore in Aberdeen, a commercial intelligence and business development firm whose team has spent more than 60 years in the offshore and energy industries. For years they have done this by hand for their clients: finding projects far ahead of the tender, qualifying them, and making the introduction.
The desk is that method, running every ten minutes instead of every fortnight. What counts as a Prime Lead, when a window has closed, which change is worth waking you for: those are Quintin Milne's definitions, not a model's guess.
The only way this business works is from when they are drilling.

Give us the operators and regions you sell into. We will open the live desk and show you what it already knows about them: the projects, the horizons, the people.
It means the work is done, not just surfaced. Six AI agents each own one job, the way a real intelligence desk would split it: scouting, verifying, finding people, analysing, briefing and drafting. They hand work to each other, check each other, recover from their own failures and leave a record of everything they did. You read the result.
Alerts and databases tell you what has been published. By then the rig is booked and every competitor has the same headline. DQ Intel follows each project from its first sign of life, works out how far it is from first spud and whether the money is in, and tells you while the operator is still choosing who to work with.
Public sources: trade press, company and regulator releases, contractor fleet status reports, conference and licensing news, plus targeted searches on every operator you ask the desk to watch. Every lead links to its source.
You choose what you sell and where you work, and your feed fills straight away with the current Prime and Watch leads that match. For seven days you have everything: decision makers, direct mobiles (on a work email address), movement alerts, the Rigs and Tenders boards and Quill's drafts. A short tour shows you around on your first visit. No card is needed, and nothing renews unless you choose a plan.
A morning email from Iris with the new leads that fit what you sell and what moved on the ones you hold, on the days and at the hour you choose. On Desk and during the trial, when something material changes on a lead you hold (a rig chosen, FID taken, a spud date moved), you hear about it. Each person on your team sets their own emails, and every one can be switched off.
Quill drafts it, on Desk and during the trial. Open a lead and ask for an intro to the named decision maker, or a check-in when one of your leads moves. Tell Quill once what your team does, work worth citing and how you sign off, and every draft reads it. Quill never sends anything. You copy the draft or open it in your own email.
You should not have to. That is why nothing reaches you without a verifiable source, why every step is logged where you can see it, and why the rules that decide what counts as a Prime Lead were written by people who have sold into wells for decades, not by a model.
