About Entech

Market driven innovation.

Entech is a platform for operators and entrepreneurs to bring innovative ideas to market. Primarily serving the upstream oil and gas industry, our expertise includes supply chain, engineering design, project management and business development.

We apply systematic design and evaluation methodologies to ensure our technologies satisfy the widest range of customer requirements. Every product launched by Entech is accompanied by a detailed business plan, including a commercial growth strategy, that brings the highest value and lowest risk to our stakeholders.

Our Vision

Entech's vision is to be the preferred venture partner for hardware technology development and commercialization in the upstream oil and gas industry.

Our Mission

Entech's mission is to demonstrate an accelerated idea-to-market lifecycle by promoting market driven innovation and implementing lean product development and commercialization practices.

Our business model

IDEABANK

Entech's idea bank contains everything from sketches on napkins to detailed business plans. Every idea is worth documenting.

FEASIBILITY STUDY

The best ideas deserve more attention. Conceptual design, detailed market analysis and customer engagement starts here.

DEVELOPMENT

Approved technology business cases lead to development projects. This is where we design, prototype and quality check the products.

PILOTING

Careful experimentation through field trials demonstrates the entire value chain with minimal risk to the customer.

OFFLOADING

Offloading means executing one of three strategies: Establishing a sales & distribution channel, licensing to a service partner, or selling the intellectual property.

IDEA BANK

Entech's idea bank contains everything from sketches on napkins to detailed business plans. Regardless of origin, all ideas are subject to a simple evaluation process called the POEM (Product Opportunity Evaluation Matrix).

To propel an idea to the feasibility phase, it must score above a pre-set threshold in the POEM. Ideas falling short are sent back to the idea bank to mature. Changes in the market or synergies with new concepts may justify re-evaluation.

Entech welcomes anyone to contribute new ideas or pose challenging problems that need solutions. Contributors gain access to feasibility results and technology.

FEASIBILITY STUDY

Passing the POEM decision gate, the idea is awarded project resources to execute technical and commercial studies.

The technical study incorporates IP evaluation and creation, FTO analysis, conceptual models and de-risking activities like computational simulations, FMEA and methodical design reviews.

The objective of the commercial study is to quantify market potential and risk. Top-down analysis characterizes the full market potential based on public information and market intel. Bottom-up analysis involves direct customer engagement to substantiate opportunities and gather technical requirement.

Strategic partnerships are established when necessary to support an effective product-to-market strategy.

DEVELOPMENT

Product development is the most exciting phase where we design, prototype and quality check the products.

Every engineering firm has experienced the frustration of prototype failures, which sends the engineers back to the drawing board and often results in project cost and time overruns.

Entech has demonstrated that effective technical studies and design methodology can repeatedly deliver first-time success. Our project team successfully designed, fabricated and tested three different product prototypes in our first three months of operation.

There's nothing better than converting a great idea into a reality!

PILOTING

Entech supports customers through the entire technology adoption process, from application risk assessments through operational planning and the flawless execution of field trials.

OFFLOADING

Offloading means executing one of three strategies: Establishing a sales & distribution channel, licensing to a service partner, or selling the intellectual property.

Sales & distribution channels are established for products or product lines that justify their own sustaining organization.

Licensing or IP sales are more appropriate when the new technology can leverage and complement a vendor partner's portfolio.
