When do the Volumes Arrive? Forecasting Midstream Production with One AI Workflow

Overview

Midstream teams are asked to commit to gathering capacity and sign dedications on a forecast that is hard to defend. Counting an operator’s remaining inventory is the easy part. Knowing when it will be drilled and how much it will produce is what moves the number, and building that view still takes half a day or more per asset across separate tools.

In this live session on November 19, 2026, Steve Diederichs, Director of Research at Enverus Intelligence® Research, will share context from recent deals and show how production forecasting has traditionally been done by hand. He will then juxtapose this manual approach by demonstrating a single AI workflow that does it all for you: forecasts producing wells, wells in progress, and undrilled locations together, with each location timed to the operator’s actual drilling pace.

Topics Addressed

• Forecasting the Full Development Pipeline: Forecast producing wells, wells in progress, and undrilled locations in a single run instead of rebuilding the view tool by tool.
• Timing Undrilled Locations: Predict when each undrilled location comes online, based on the operator’s actual drilling pace, to see when volumes will arrive.
• Scenario Testing for Capacity: Test pace by rigs, footage, or capital budget to size and time capacity on a range of scenarios instead of a single plan.
• Manual vs. Workflow Comparison: Compare the manual approach with the workflow, and see what recent deals show about where assumptions diverge.
• Live Demo and Q&A: Watch the workflow live, from acreage to a timed forecast, and bring your questions for Q&A.

Picture every asset decision made and verified on your timeline. With one forecast that covers every well and when it comes online, midstream teams can size capacity, support dedication decisions, and evaluate asset transactions with a number they can stand behind, and spend less time rebuilding the same asset view.
