Context: Recovery Factor is a core upstream KPI because it determines how much of the hydrocarbons in place are ultimately converted into recoverable production.

Challenges: Reservoir engineers see deviation early, but production teams feel it later. Field interventions wait for approvals, budgets, or quarterly forums, and by the time action is taken, pressure has dropped and optionality is gone.

Solution: The Recovery Optimization Guidance Agent, an AI agent built using Microsoft Copilot Studio, monitors production and injection behavior as reservoir conditions shift and intervenes during well intervention timing and injection strategy decisions, flagging recovery-protecting actions before the window to act closes.

Impact: Operators following this approach see recovery factor improve through earlier intervention, with recovery protected by behavior rather than hindsight.
