THF Engineered Solutions: Accelerating AI Innovation in Well Engineering

Driving AI-Powered Transformation in Energy Sector, specialising in Well Engineering with GenAI Solutions

Overview

THF Engineered Solutions is a pioneering engineering startup in the energy sector, within the Energy Sector, specialising in Well Engineering. With a vision to revolutionize traditional processes using GenAI technologies, THF partnered with SourceFuse to build AI-powered platforms that automate and optimize well delivery workflows.

The Challenge

As a new entrant in the engineering sector, THF faced a pressing need to replace outdated, manual practices with intelligent, scalable systems. Their biggest challenges included:

  • Reliance on manual documentation and siloed workflows
  • Lack of AI-enhanced decision-making tools
  • Barriers to scalability in early-stage product development
  • Regulatory compliance and data security concerns
  • Complex UI/UX slowing user onboarding

The Solution

SourceFuse delivered a structured GenAI Discovery & Assessment that shaped a clear execution roadmap. The collaboration resulted in two transformative solutions:

1. ELLIS (Engineering Logic & Learning Intelligence System)

An AI Subject Matter Expert in Well Engineering, capable of surfacing critical insights and identifying risks early to augment engineering delivery, ELLIS surfaces critical insights and identifies risks early, enabling faster, contextual decision-making.

  • NLP-based interface for step-by-step, expert engineering guidance
  • Three-tiered support: Coaching, Principal Technical Expert, Technical Authority
  • Integrated subscription model with admin dashboard and mobile optimization
  • Powered by OpenAI for cost-efficient, context-aware intelligence

2. WellPhase Platform

A robust platform automating the creation of engineering deliverables through highly specialised and complex workflows, including:

  • Project creation and documentation automation
  • Standardized templates and data libraries
  • Role-based access control and tenant management
  • Advanced analytics and AI-enhanced collaboration tools

Highlights

  • Accelerated AI-Driven Decision Making: Reduced time-to-insight via intelligent model selection
  • Risk-Free Architecture: Compliance-first, cloud-native design with role-based access and encryption
  • Enhanced Usability: Figma-prototyped UI/UX validated through engineering feedback
  • Future-Ready Scalability: Built to support multi-project workloads and global expansion
  • Efficient Development: 8-week Discovery phase reduced time-to-market and de-risked AI adoption

The Result

  • Improved Operational Efficiency: Streamlined engineering workflows with GenAI
  • Faster Development: Clear roadmap allowed phased rollout of ELLIS and WellPhase
  • Cost Savings: Optimal AI model selection minimized development and infrastructure costs
  • Enhanced Adoption: Intuitive UI/UX simplified onboarding for engineering teams
Working with SourceFuse has been a genuinely collaborative and productive experience from the very beginning. From our initial discussions, through their intensive 8-week Discovery Phase, the SourceFuse team demonstrated a strong ability to listen, understand our vision, and translate it into a clear, phased roadmap for development. This staged approach has been critical for THF as a start-up, enabling us to move forward pragmatically while ensuring our long-term scalability. Throughout the engagement, SourceFuse’s technical team has been highly receptive to input and optimisation ideas, fostering an open and solutions-focused collaboration. Their dedication, technical expertise, and partnership approach have been instrumental in bringing our vision for ELLIS and WellPhase to life.
