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.”

Locus Technologies Releases Service Order Management App
Enterprises boost productivity, reduce costs, and capitalize on AI-driven insights.
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., May 27, 2025 —Locus Technologies, the sustainability and Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) compliance software leader, announced the release of its Locus Service Order Management (SOM) app, a user-configurable software-as-a-service (SaaS) to help complex organizations efficiently manage any work order lifecycle and streamline any service workflow with transparency, auditability, and AI modeling. The Locus Service Order Management app automates the scheduling, dispatching, and tracking of service tasks for any department, from inception to closure, all within a single unified platform. Locus SOM integrates with 30+ purpose-built apps in the Locus ecosystem, enabling seamless integration with adjacent apps for service order-centric initiatives, such as EHS and water compliance, incident response, and asset management.
“Locus Service Order Management is the missing piece for organizations looking to streamline field operations and compliance response without adding another disconnected system,” said Neno Duplan, founder and CEO of Locus Technologies. “It makes little sense for customers to license and manage standalone service order software when they can use our fully integrated, AI-ready platform to initiate, track, and document corrective actions—whether responding to a water compliance alert, a refrigerant leak, or any other field event—directly from within the same system they already use to manage environmental data.”
Locus SOM includes end-to-end workflow automation, dashboards and reports, process analytics, field service management (FSM), tasking, notifications, routing/territory planning, asset and equipment management, incident management, and corrective action tracking.
All Locus apps are metadata-driven, which empowers users to configure the interfaces and workflows within Locus Service Order Management to meet the needs of any department, from compliance to customer service and ITSM. “There’s no limit to the types of business processes our customers can manage with Locus Service Orders; it could be equipment maintenance or service outages. The app flexes to any use case.”
All Locus software is delivered via a multitenant cloud that centralizes and secures customers’ data, enabling scalability and AI that continually improves as the collective data grows. “The Locus Service Order app improves service delivery and reduces operational costs through the efficient, automated management of work orders and the generation of insights to optimize workforces and transform processes,” said Duplan.

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., April 29, 2025 —Locus Technologies, the sustainability and Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) compliance software leader, announced the release of Locus Water, the first end-to-end, AI-ready software that has been future-proofed for the water utility industry. The suite is uniquely built upon state-of-the-art multitenant cloud, metadata-driven software-as-a-service (SaaS) architecture, empowering water and wastewater utilities to adapt to shifting priorities and address current demands without redundant data entry, compatibility issues, or technical gaps.
“Utilities have struggled with fragmented, outdated, or single-purpose systems for too long,” said Neno Duplan, founder and CEO of Locus Technologies. “That’s why Locus Water is a game-changer for water pros trying to keep up with everything from DMRs, CCRs, PFAS and compliance to cyber security and customer outreach. We’re unifying the entire water lifecycle – from source to discharge and from metrics to quality.”
Locus Water is comprised of eight optional and unified software apps: Drinking Water Compliance, Backflow Prevention, Industrial Pretreatment, Water Metrics, Stormwater Inspections, Test Equipment Management, Watershed Maintenance, and Customer Complaints to help water professionals efficiently leverage the data generated by diverse water initiatives for tracking, tasking, and reporting. Additional purpose-built apps are slated for release after the completion of ongoing beta tests with several water districts. As part of the software release, Locus also announced an incentive program to help water utilities quickly migrate to the new technology.
“Water is the world’s most precious resource, and it warrants technology that rises to that level of significance,” said Duplan. “Locus Water enables true digital transformation and raises the bar for the entire industry.”
All applications in the Locus Water collection support data capture from mobile, IoT devices, and API connectors, and they share a common user interface, a workflow engine, a reporting dashboard, GIS, Single Sign-On (SSO) and enterprise-grade security, and configuration tools for power users to adjust the software. The configurable nature of the metadata-driven architecture positions Locus clients to quickly respond to regulatory changes, emerging contaminants, and EHS compliance and ESG/CSRD requirements from the same interface.

The company’s unique software architecture empowers clients to stay ahead of stringent regulatory frameworks, including emerging EU directives and global ESG reporting demands, while ensuring the absolute privacy of their proprietary information.
“Emerging research indicates the PFAS health crisis will be more significant than Asbestos, lead, and tobacco combined. Empowering organizations to effectively track and manage this data is imperative,” said Duplan. By leveraging the real-time analytical power of Locus, utilities, government agencies, and enterprises can proactively manage PFAS risks, streamline regulatory compliance, and safeguard public health and environmental ecosystems worldwide.

This collaboration will empower organizations worldwide to address pressing regulatory and ethical challenges through innovative technology and unparalleled domain expertise–without jumping between multiple ESG apps and platforms, which adds time and expense to the disclosure process.
As part of this partnership, Sophare will extend Locus’s ESG software platform with new capabilities designed to address three critical areas:
- European Union Pay Transparency Directive Compliance: Sophare’s AI-powered tools help organizations navigate and comply with the EU’s directive, which mandates companies with 100+ employees to disclose gender pay gaps and provide transparent pay structures by 2026.

- Alignment with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 5: Sophare AI empowers companies to align with SDG 5 by shining a light on data related to gender equality in leadership and employee compensation.
“This partnership aligns with Locus’s track record of working with professionals who bring deep domain expertise,” said Dr. Zvonimir Dadić, head of the CSRD Practice Group for Locus Technologies Europe. “Sophare’s founding team combines technical chops with a thoughtful approach to legal compliance, and we are pleased to be able to offer our clients this streamlined path to compliance.”
Sophare AI CEO, Siena Duplan, brings a decade of experience developing pay equity algorithms as a data scientist for Salesforce, one of the world’s leading Fortune 500 companies. Sophare’s co-founder and CTO has led a distinguished career in the UK Civil Service and brings extensive engineering experience developing services in hand with legal, compliance, and policy teams. Together, Sophare AI and Locus Technologies will pursue their shared commitment to sustainability and equity, driven by data science.
“Compliance in HR is often seen as a box-ticking exercise, but it’s actually a gateway to bringing organizations into the era of AI,” said Duplan. “HR compliance in particular is a prime opportunity to tap into AI and automation for both significant productivity gains and to deliver a transparent workplace where employees can thrive. Our next-gen data solutions put social and pay equity on par with financial and environmental health.”
This partnership underscores Locus’s commitment to creating an integrated, end-to-end ESG software solution that stays ahead of a rapidly evolving regulatory landscape and helps organizations surmount the biggest obstacles to compliance. Together, Locus and Sophare are transforming the “S” in ESG into a driver for meaningful, measurable impact.
