Save time, money, frustration & prevent multi-million dollar mistakes from slipping through the cracks
Hear what these ARIES users said about the Validator
The Validator tool has been a key link in our outlook process. It's proven invaluable at catching the errors that end up in Aries. It's replaced multiple Spotfire and Excel check tools and cut out forecast validation times by at least 4 hours a cycle.
Just rocked my world finding errors in one of our databases. Seriously it helped QC production forecast lines better than anything I've ever had.
If we would have had this a year ago, it would've solved a lot of our problems.
The only downside is that it found a whole lot of things that we need to clean up.
I like how it has an actual explanation, and not just 'Error on line 701'
We've had to fix zero things the last two cycles because it forced us to correct all the busts

Whether your QC approach is 38 Access queries, SQL processes, sense checks, or hope, the Validator can make it faster, easier, and identify problems you didn't know you had.
That's it. In seconds, you'll have a filterable, copyable, list of potential problems to fix.
Prices depend on the total number of wells in the ARIES projects that the Validator will be used with
Lite subscription that scales per user. Includes all Validator functionality.
Standard subscription that scales per user. Includes all Validator functionality.
Super subscription that scales per user. Includes all Validator functionality.
Please contact us to discuss high-volume pricing options (projects with more than 10,000 wells, many subscriptions, or something else)
Absolutely! ARIES has some error checking that happens during calculation.
But this error checking doesn't catch everything, and even common mistakes like missing forecasts or over-defined forecasts (too few unknowns) are not caught by ARIES.
Because of this, many companies have created their own QC process to validate ARIES inputs outside of ARIES.
The calculations in ARIES also can take a significant amount of time to run, so checking for errors across an entire ARIES project could take a long time.
In contrast, the Validator takes seconds to run, and performs many useful validation checks that aren't included in ARIES itself. This allows you to fix problems quickly, prior to waiting for a full ARIES run to complete.
Nothing.
Pod2 Validator runs locally on your computer. It reads from your ARIES database the same way ARIES does, analyzes it, and gives you the results.
We don't extract or alter your data in any way.
You can definitely perform QC checks using SQL queries. Many companies currently do this.
However this usually involves a manual process of running queries, then combining query results into a summary, and afterwards verifying problems individually. Queries have to be created by somebody comfortable working directly with SQL. These queries can get very complicated, especially if you're using multiple qualifiers in a scenario, or validating economics expressions.
This is all possible, but it also this takes up valuable time. Pod2 Validator can save you that time.
Queries also tend to be created only after the same mistakes were made multiple times. Instead, the Validator could help you to take a proactive approach and catch these mistakes instantly.
We'll make it easy. We'll communicate directly with your IT and take care of this for you. We have experience working with IT departments of all sizes.
Currently the Validator checks economic inputs for the following:
This list grows constantly and we're currently prioritizing a list of QC checks to add next, so please let us know if there are other checks that would be useful to you.
