Current oil analytics — based on historical and disparate data — can consume a tremendous amount of resources. OilX uses artificial intelligence to compile a more accurate, real-time view of market fluctuations. This streamlined approach allows companies to more easily increase their productivity.

“There is a significant amount of resource currently devoted to oil analytics. However, the flow, timeliness, and speed of delivery of information fall far below what is needed for impactful commercial decision making,” says Florian Thaler,OilX CEO and oil strategist. “The goal of OilX is to reduce inefficient and resource-heavy analytics work, in order for companies to focus on value-added tasks. By providing a more accurate, real-time view of the market, powered by state-of-the-art artificial intelligence and an intimate knowledge of the oil ecosystem, traders will be able to more effectively navigate a complex universe, and ultimately drive performance.”
