Top Oil and Gas Startups in 2026

Our AROviz software is a cloud-based platform that enables oil and gas producers to effectively manage their emissions data. AROviz can aggregate emissions measurements from any sensor or source, combining all emissions data in a central repository. The analytics provided by AROviz enable oil and gas producers to make more effective emission mitigation strategies, and better track progress towards emission reduction targets.

Seeq makes data analytics software for a big market that’s often overlooked by tech companies: industrial process data. Think pharmaceutical manufacturers, wind farms, and energy companies with tons of equipment and sensors. Our software engineers tackle hard problems in streaming calculation, storage, and distributed computing, leveraging the latest features in Java 11, Kotlin, and PostgreSQL.

OceanComm is introducing the equivalent of WiFi to the subsea industry (ocean exploration, offshore oil and gas, deep sea mining, defense, etc.). We use ultrasound, rather than radio waves, to make this possible.

Charm Industrial is a venture-backed startup in San Francisco with a mission to reverse climate change and return the atmosphere to 280ppm CO₂ – otherwise known as pre-industrial atmospheric CO₂ concentration. To accomplish this, we’re working on both carbon removal and emissions reductions. First, we’re working on carbon removal through bio-oil sequestration. Charm uses plants to capture CO₂ from the atmosphere. We convert biomass into a stable, carbon-rich liquid and then pump it deep underground. This removes CO₂ permanently from the atmosphere, out of reach of wildfires, soil erosion and land use change. Second, we’re working on emissions reductions by decarbonizing ironmaking, which makes up more than 7% of global emissions. Come help us fight climate change — gigatons or bust!

East Daley’s data and insights bring transparency to the complicated and often misunderstood midstream energy sector. East Daley’s data and insights help clients win by enhancing their risk mitigation strategies and identifying new opportunities to outpace their competitors.

In 2016, Vortexa co-founders Fabio and Etienne spotted a major opportunity to apply groundbreaking technologies to solve the energy industry’s most complex information problems. Through their mutual passion for emerging technologies and deep understanding of the market landscape, they founded Vortexa. The goal was simple; to empower all players within the ecosystem with access to leading edge market intelligence faster and easier than ever before.

Corva is the emerging leader in real time data and analytics for oil & gas. With our platform, customers and vendors alike develop powerful apps & dashboards that facilitate faster and improved quality during drilling and completion operations.

Crux OCM is a venture capital backed seed stage start-up on a mission to enhance control room operations in the $87.5 trillion dollar per year oil and gas industry to enhance safety and efficiency through autonomous capabilities. Although we are a young company, our team is comprised of industry veterans that have already made their mark in control system, commissioning, and advanced process control. In two short years we have progressed from concept, to MVP, to commercial-scale POC ‘s. Our key short term KPI is to add new logos via facilitating additional POCs. Crux OCM was born with the belief that control room operators should have better tools to perform their daily jobs. Control room operations directly impact safety, environmental, and bottom line revenue for energy operating companies. We thought, if pilots have auto-pilot software - why don’t control room operators? We are proud to help operating energy companies control rooms operate in the safest, most efficient way possi

DarkVision has developed a new ultrasound-based imaging technology used to image the inside of oil and gas wells. With a clear picture of the inner working of their wells, oil and gas operators can make smart decisions that reduce operating costs, increase production efficiency, improve well integrity and minimize environmental impacts. Unlike camera technologies, DarkVision’s high resolution ultrasound imaging system is able to image through opaque fluids that have inhibited the widespread use of optics as a downhole diagnostics tool. The company’s first field-ready tool uses a number of proprietary and patented technologies to go thousands of meters underground, bringing oil and gas operators incredibly high resolution 3D scans of their wells. DarkVision has already won numerous awards, including 1st prize in the 2014 NVBC competition for the top high-tech start-up in BC with the most potential.
