Data Engineering for Upstream Oil & Gas
We've spent our careers fighting bad subsurface data.
So we built something to fix it.
Over 50 years of combined experience in upstream Oil & Gas. We got tired of watching the same problems go unsolved — inconsistent data, scattered logic, workflows that depend on one person who might retire next year. So we built ODIN.
See what ODIN does →Subsurface data doesn't behave like other data.
It doesn't expire. It's interpreted, not just stored. It lives across multiple systems — and it constantly changes.
Most teams manage this with scripts, batch jobs, and manual effort. Someone writes the SQL. Someone decodes the binary. Someone moves the data from one system to another and hopes nothing breaks.
It works — until that person leaves. Or the scope doubles. Or someone finds an error that's been compounding for months. This isn't a technology problem. It's a coordination problem. And most tools aren't built for it.
A data engineering platform built for subsurface complexity.
ODIN brings continuous visibility and alignment to your subsurface data. Not as a one-time project — but as an ongoing system.
It connects your systems, validates your data, automates the work your team does manually today, and surfaces issues before they become problems. Purpose-built for upstream Oil & Gas — not generic tooling adapted for your world.

Most importantly, I can sleep easier knowing this solution won't disappear when key personnel retire. The deployment was so smooth; I didn't hear a peep from anyone — remarkable considering it touched all our active exploration and development projects.
Built by people who've been in your world.
PandoScape wasn't founded in a startup accelerator. It was founded by three people who spent decades working with subsurface data and got tired of watching the same problems go unsolved.
Christy Hopkins
Founder & CEO
Christy has spent over two decades in upstream Oil & Gas, building the data workflows and systems that geoscientists depend on every day. She saw the same problems repeat across every organization she worked with — and eventually decided to stop patching them and start solving them.
Philip L. Heggelund
Founder & CTO
Philip is the engineer behind ODIN — from the architecture to the adapters to the subsurface logic that makes it work. He builds systems that handle complexity without passing it on to the user.
Dr. Dag G. Heggelund
Founding President
A Texas A&M Aggie through and through — bachelor's, master's, and PhD — Dag brought over 30 years of exceptional mathematical expertise and petroleum industry experience. He was recognized for his dedication, intelligence, and collaborative spirit. Dag's vision and expertise are woven into the foundation of everything ODIN does.
We stay until it runs. Then we keep it running.
We don't deploy and disappear. When we implement ODIN, we're in it with our clients — through the edge cases, the unexpected data scenarios, and the moments where the team goes from skeptical to trusting the system.
And we don't leave after go-live. We maintain it. We monitor it. When the next edge case surfaces, we're there.
If our clients aren't successful and still running years later, we've failed. That's not a service tier — that's how we built this company.
