AI systems for O&G project execution
FICARIS builds AI agent systems that absorb the repetitive, rule-based work in O&G project execution — cutting the cost of non-quality and freeing your teams to do what they excel at. Designed by people who did that work manually for 25 years.
The problem
Every major O&G project runs on an invisible layer of repetitive, rule-based work: document management, interface management, management of change, risk management, lessons learned registers, and a long list of others. It’s not “core engineering” — it’s the connective work those critical processes run on. And engineers end up doing it.
Stop burning out your best people on repetitive low-value tasks. There’s an AI agent for that.
01Rule-based, repeatable
The exact profile of work AI agents handle best, at a fraction of the cost and 10x speed.
02Cost of non-quality
Errors and escalations in manually handled poor-quality registers compound with project size (the monstrous Excel sheets you know and love are a symptom, not the cause).
03Talent drain
Senior people spending hours on admin is the most expensive data entry on Earth.
You’ve had two options: throw more people at it, or watch your best people burn out on it.
There’s a third option now.

What we build
We don’t sell tools and walk away — we design, build, and run AI agent systems inside your existing workflows, supervised by your people and scoped to the repetitive, rule-based layer of project execution. These are the two you can see working today:
AI document control
An agent-orchestrated document control function: registration, transmittals, revision tracking, distribution, health checks, progress reports, and chase-ups run by AI agents with human oversight. Fewer FTEs, faster turnaround, dramatically lower cost of non-quality.
See it in action + calculate your savings →Agentic knowledge retrieval
Plain-language search over large document repositories, powered by agentic AI: semantic search, reasoning, and direct links to source documents. In production today for Safer Together — a not-for-profit, member-led organisation of Operating Companies and Contract Partner Companies.

The shortcut
Most AI consultancies learn your business on your dime. We already know it — because we’ve lived it.
Filippe Rimis spent 25 years inside major O&G projects — Wheatstone, Prelude FLNG, and other projects across South America, Asia Pacific, and Australia — in the office, on site, and offshore. Structural engineer by trade, site & construction engineer by chance, project engineering manager by merit. He’s done, managed, and been slowed down by the exact work our agents now absorb.
Renan Torres, also a civil engineer by trade, switched careers earlier and spent the last six years building and running enterprise-grade systems as a DevOps engineer. He adds another layer that helps convert Filippe’s domain blueprints into robust, secure, maintainable systems.
The result: our assess → build → run cycle is measured in weeks, not quarters. We don’t need workshops to understand your document control problem. We need a login.
How we engage
Tier 1
We come in, understand the problem, and design the solution: architecture, workflow integration, business case. You take the blueprint and build with your internal IT or preferred tech partner. You own everything.
Tier 2
Everything in Tier 1, plus we implement the system and hand it over — documented, tested, and ready for your team to run and maintain.
Tier 3
Everything in Tier 2, plus we operate and maintain the system ourselves. You get the outcome; we handle the machinery.
Start at Tier 1 with zero lock-in. Most clients who see the blueprint ask us to build it. Most who see it run ask us to keep running it.
Proof
Safer Together
Safer Together engaged FICARIS Digital to unlock 140+ Learning Event Bulletins trapped in a searchable-only-if-you-know-the-keywords library. We built the LEB Smart Search — an agentic AI search combining semantic retrieval, reasoning, and direct document links — now live in production on their public website.
