Use Cases

Built for the people who move the market

Seven buyer categories. One intelligence layer. Whether you drill, extract, finance, or defend, MotherLode Reservoir gives you the map no one else has built.

DLE Companies

You know how to extract lithium. We know where it is.

Direct Lithium Extraction operators get ranked well lists with Li-brine confidence scores, volume estimates, and extraction economics, queryable by basin, formation, or state via the DLE Sourcing API.

Geothermal Developers

Every legacy well is a pre-drilled thermal asset. We score them so you don’t drill blind.

Per-well thermal gradient scoring, wellbore condition assessment, and conversion economics. DOE Wells of Opportunity aligned. Built for developers converting legacy boreholes to clean energy.

Defense Contractors and DoD

Domestic critical mineral supply chain intelligence. DPA Title III-ready reporting.

Domestic helium and rare earth supply is a national security gap. MLR identifies high-confidence domestic sources with provenance-grade documentation, formatted for DPA Title III compliance.

Energy Private Equity

Per-well bycatch assessment during due diligence. Stop buying blind.

The M&A Portfolio Scanner accepts bulk well uploads and returns bycatch potential scores per well. Stop valuing distressed E&P portfolios on hydrocarbon reserves alone.

Carbon Project Developers

45Q injection site feasibility at per-well resolution. $50+ per ton in credits at stake.

Identify legacy wells with CO2 injection potential at per-well resolution. Report output is formatted for 45Q tax credit documentation and EPA underground injection control permitting.

Mineral Rights and Royalty

Find out what your legacy wells are actually worth in 2026.

Royalty holders and mineral rights owners get a complete bycatch valuation across all five categories: lithium-brine, helium, rare earth elements, geothermal gradient, and residual hydrocarbon.

Uranium ISR Operators

Uranium is now a critical mineral. The formation data already exists. We found it.

Uranium was added to the 2025 USGS Critical Minerals List and is now eligible for DPA Title III funding under DOI Secretary Order SO-3436 (July 2025). MLR identifies legacy O&G wells that penetrate uranium-bearing sedimentary formations with in-situ recovery potential, flagged by basin, formation depth, and regulatory pathway. You bring the ISR tech. We bring the WHERE.

Development Pathways

Five paths from intelligence to action

MotherLode Reservoir scores wells and recommends a specific pathway. Every output is actionable, not a data dump.

Workover and Recompletion

Restore production from existing wellbores.

Where mechanical condition and reservoir quality support low-cost intervention, MLR identifies recompletion targets and estimates incremental production at current economics.

Enhanced Oil Recovery

Evaluate secondary and tertiary recovery where the reservoir supports it.

Waterflood improvement, polymer, surfactant, gas injection, and cyclic gas opportunities evaluated where formation and pressure data justify additional capital.

In-Field Drilling

Identify bypassed pay and underdeveloped spacing.

Modern geologic and engineering analysis surfaces attic oil, undrained compartments, and horizontal opportunities invisible in original completion records.

Plugging with Value Recovery

Coordinate plugging with methane reduction and federal funding eligibility.

Where producibility is not viable, MLR aligns plugging recommendations with methane reduction benefits and federal or state orphan-well funding programs.

Alternative Subsurface Use

Screen depleted reservoirs for storage, geothermal, or energy-transition applications.

CO2 storage, natural gas storage, hydrogen storage, geothermal conversion, and surface redevelopment evaluated where technically and legally feasible.

The commercial case improves when the program is positioned as both a production-growth platform and a liability-reduction platform. Redevelopable wells create incremental reserves and cash flow. Non-redevelopable wells, prioritized for plugging, reduce methane emissions, safety risks, and long-term abandonment exposure. This dual-purpose model improves access to public-private partnerships, state programs, and federal funding.
