AlphaSpace by Endla

Optimize oil & gas wells using auto-design software

AlphaSpace by Endla launched on August 2, 2021 with 98 votes, #484 of 2,953 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 5 years on.

What it does

AlphaSpace helps engineers optimise oil & gas completion design by generating, quickly a very large number of valid alternatives and evaluating capex, opex and production (and any other KPI an operator wants) for each.

AlphaSpace automates completion design optimisation from measured inputs through full-space search.

Designing an unconventional well is a computationally intense task that can only be performed at drill time. The longer the design takes the more money is spent on a rig doing nothing. At the same time, rushing design decisions can sacrifice whole-of-life value. AlphaSpace is the core tally design engine, generating validated options and identifying the best overall solution for each well. SmartRun then extends that core into execution with real-time QA/QC and a 1:1 linkage between installed equipment and the as-built design. AlphaSpace takes measured inputs such as inventory and lithology, then uses operator economic and design specifications to intelligently optimise each well for…from endla.com

    Obelisk – a WASM-based deterministic workflow engine2025 · obeli.sk · ▲103

    A lightweight engine for durable execution / deterministic workflows I built with Rust, wasmtime and the WASM Component Model. Its main use is running reliable, long-running workflows that can automatically resume after failures. Looking for feedback on the approach and potential use cases!

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

    Hey all My name is Sindre, and I am the CTO of Scrimba (YC S20). For the last 7 years, I have written all my web apps in a full-stack programming language called Imba. It compiles to JavaScript and its main goal is to make web developers more productive. I just launched a major overhaul of Imba, so I wanted to share it here on HN, in case anyone are interested in learning more about it. It is very opinionated, so some of you might not like it, but I would love to hear anyones feedback regardless. Constructive criticism appreciated! The backstory: Imba initially started in 2012 as an effort…

    Hello HN, Over the last year we've been building ente[1], a privacy-friendly, easy-to-use alternative to Google Photos. We've so far built Android[2][3], iOS[4], web[5] apps that encrypt your files and back them up in the background. You can access these across your devices, and share them with other ente users, end-to-end encrypted. You can also use our electron app[6] to maintain a local copy of your backed up files. We've built a fault-tolerant data replication layer that replicates your data to two different storage providers in the EU. We will be providing additional replicas as an…
