Top Oil & Gas Company Selects Locus Water as its Enterprise Water Metrics and Management Software

Locus Water integrates with the customer’s existing Locus environmental software.

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., August 5, 2025 —Locus Technologies, the sustainability, water, and Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) compliance software leader, announced today that a Fortune 10 global oil and gas company has selected Locus Water software for a worldwide roll-out. The enterprise solution resolves compliance and data challenges spanning water sources across the company’s upstream, midstream, and downstream operations, giving every business unit real-time visibility into consumption by source and type metrics. Implementation begins immediately in North America, with additional regions scheduled for 2026.  

The customer rolled out Locus Waste software in 2024, and the selection of Locus Water accelerates their consolidation of all environmental programs on a single SaaS platform. The oil and gas company has managed its water quality analytical data in Locus software since 2003. 

“Forward-looking energy companies are prioritizing integrated systems for all environmental programs as a way to capitalize on artificial intelligence and gain strategic insights across their portfolios,” said Neno Duplan, Founder and CEO of Locus Technologies. “Locus is one of the few software developers with the underlying architecture, data validation, and domain expertise to deliver.” 

This customer is one of many to report frustration with so-called all-in-one environmental platforms that were, in reality, fragmented tools cobbled together by private equity rollups lacking long-term vision. Duplan explains, “The absence of true integration cripples data flow, complicates reporting, and ultimately drives customers toward purpose-built platforms like Locus.” 

By unifying water and waste programs on the Locus Platform, the oil and gas company expects to eliminate redundant systems, reduce data-management costs, and deliver stronger enterprise-wide reporting for executives, regulators, consultants, and investors.  

Locus provides a fully integrated and validated data foundation across all programs, positioning the company to capitalize on the ongoing AI revolution. Only Locus offers this level of readiness, with the architecture, tools, and data structure required to unlock next-generation insights.  To learn more, please visit http://www.locustec.com.

Locus Technologies Expands Water Software Suite with the Launch of its Backflow Prevention App

Part of a unified platform for managing every aspect of water operations.

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., July 14, 2025 —Locus Technologies, the industry leader in cloud-based environmental compliance software, today announced the launch of its Backflow Prevention App, a fully integrated application within the Locus Water Suite. This new application empowers backflow inspectors and water utilities to respond efficiently to growing inspection volumes, increased regulatory scrutiny, and ongoing staffing constraints within a modern alternative to legacy spreadsheets and siloed data.  

“With the Locus Backflow Prevention app, utilities and operators can manage all aspects of their backflow programs, from device tracking to test result submissions and customer notifications, all within Locus Platform. This app is a key step forward in backflow device management which will streamline your program implementation and oversight,” said Dr. Laura Underwood, Director of Digital Water Services at Locus Technologies.  

Key features of the Locus Backflow Prevention app include: 

  • Cloud-Based and Mobile Ready: Licensed inspectors can complete tests and submit results in real-time from any mobile device. 
  • Regulatory Compliance: Automatically assigns and tracks test frequency, due dates, non-compliance, and device requirements aligned with local and state regulations. 
  • Automated Notifications: Generates reminder notices, notices of violations, or other custom notices via emails or letters to customers when inspections are due or late. 
  • Integrated Device and Site Tracking: Maintains a centralized record of every backflow device, test history, and service location. 
  • Self-Service Portal: Enables Water Utility staff to manage licensed inspectors, service locations, and customer information, as well as review and approve inspections. 
  • Powerful Reporting and Audit Tools: Custom dashboards, historical trend analysis, and pre-built reports streamline internal tracking and external audits. 

            The app is metadata-driven and built on the configurable Locus Platform, allowing customers to configure their own workflows, forms, and compliance rules without writing a single line of code. Combined with the broader Locus Water Suite — which includes applications for water quality, water metrics, stormwater, and more — the Backflow Prevention app significantly advances the digital transformation of water compliance. 

            “Our mission is to deliver the most complete, unified platform for managing every aspect of water operations,” said Neno Duplan, CEO of Locus Technologies. “With the launch of the Backflow Prevention app, traditional data silos are crumbling, and our customers are gaining full control over their data, inspections, and compliance mandates — all in one place.” 

            The Locus Backflow Prevention app is available as a standalone module or as part of bundled pricing for customers already using multiple Locus applications. To learn more, please visit http://www.locustec.com.

            Locus Technologies Integrates with the Latest USGS Produced Water Database

            The enriched software drives contextual business intelligence for the oil and gas industry. 

            MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., June 17, 2025 —Locus Technologies, the sustainability and Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) compliance software leader, announced its new integration with the U.S. Geological Survey’s (USGS) National Produced Waters Geochemical Database, simplifying compliance reporting for the oil and gas sector and enabling benchmarking against independent, scientifically validated data. Through this integration, geochemical records and water-related data from oil and gas wells across major U.S. basins—particularly those associated with hydraulic fracking—will be available to users of Locus Environmental Information Management (EIM) software, Locus GIS+, Locus Platform, and the company’s Produced Water App. The integration enriches geospatial analysis and accelerates strategic planning, placing an organization’s operational compliance and analytical data in the context of 100+ years of aggregated government records and 28 years of anonymized Locus data. 

            “This is a game changer for oil and gas companies as they responsibly manage produced water,” said Neno Duplan, founder and CEO of Locus Technologies. “We are positioning enterprises to focus their resources on substantive action plans rather than on aggregating siloed information. By leveraging open data intelligently, Locus continues to lead in delivering not just software—but the knowledge and context our customers need to succeed in today’s ESG- and CSRD-driven landscape.” 

            Locus software users tap chemistry sampling results from produced water and other deep formations from as early as 1905. The data spans 155 parameters, including metals, volatiles, gases, salts, radionuclides, and field readings, from 113,135 locations across the US and southern Canada. The publicly available dataset, released by USGS in December 2023, is the latest compilation and includes well descriptions, dates, rock properties, physical properties of the water, organic chemistry, and much more.   

            “It’s incredibly powerful, enabling customers to instantly generate visualizations of their data compared to USGS by region, depth, and chemistry, define regional chemical profiles and reuse thresholds, or flag anomalies in water quality trends – in seconds,” said Duplan. “We’ve aggregated the largest curated dataset available for AI and machine learning in the oil and gas water quality domain, and our integrated AI tools yield unprecedented insight and predictive power for Locus customers to manage their water metrics and quality.”
