What Is DAKS™?
C&C Reservoirs’ Digital Analogue Knowledge System (DAKS™) is a secure, cloud-based, AI-empowered knowledge platform designed to improve decision quality and drive value throughout the E&P lifecycle. DAKS™ leverages user’s expertise on their own E&P assets with knowledge derived from global analogues. This knowledge can be described as ‘collective human intelligence’ and represents systematic documentation of the world’s most important fields and reservoirs and allows analysis of best practices and lessons learned from more than 100 years of global E&P activity.
How Can DAKS™ Help?
DAKS™ provides the opportunity for teams to gather, analyse and benchmark insights and intelligence from global analogues. Analogue benchmarking reduces uncertainty and provides context for critical decisions – improving decision quality during all phases of the E&P lifecycle.

DAKS™ Key Features
Fueling Today’s Decisions with Centuries of Insight
In-Depth Oil and Gas Analogues
Accounting for more than 70% of global conventional recoverable reserves, our Evaluation Reports provide in-depth analysis and systematic documentation of the world’s most important fields and reservoirs. These analogues demonstrate the best practices and lessons learned from more than 100 years of global E&P activity.
Powerful Benchmarking and Analytics
The cloud-based knowledge platform contains a robust search engine, the capability to capture knowledge on user’s own E&P assets and a powerful set of characterization, benchmarking, production performance and portfolio ranking tools. Users can extend the DAKS™ data model by adding and defining attributes to their own specifications.


Global Analogue Knowledge Base
DAKS™ contains a comprehensive data model, with hundreds of geological and reservoir engineering parameters, at both reservoir and field level. The analogue information from our research is consistently populated into the DAKS™ data model, and codified into a coherent global knowledge base that is frequently updated. The data within DAKS™ includes information from every significant petroleum basin, play and reservoir type, development scenario, production challenge, and IOR/EOR method around the world.
Pioneering Classification Scheme
To appropriately compare fields and reservoirs globally, it is a fundamental requirement that standardized definitions and terminology are used, and a consistent classification scheme is applied to both public domain and proprietary data sets. Within DAKS™, each geological and reservoir engineering parameter has been classified through exhaustive research. Our research process results in rigorous validation of individual Reservoir Evaluation & EOR Reports, and cross-checking by some of the world’s most experienced geoscientists and reservoir engineers.
