About

Action Foresight, LLC

Rigorous plans, responsive execution.

Action Foresight, LLC is a specialized energy consulting and technology company that helps petroleum operators create, implement, and continuously refine development and production plans for their assets.

The company combines deep subsurface technical expertise with purpose-built proprietary software to produce plans that are technically rigorous from the ground up, fully executable, and adaptable as real-world results emerge.

Who we are

Technically rigorous planning with practical implementation discipline.

Action Foresight, LLC was founded to bring together two things the industry too often separates: technically rigorous planning and practical implementation discipline.

Its operating philosophy is built into its name. Foresight is rigorous analysis, honest quantification of uncertainty, and sound planning. Action is what separates a study from a result. The company does not aim to produce reports and step away. It is built to help turn technical insight into operational decisions that can be executed and refined over time.

How Action Foresight works

The value proposition is not broad software breadth. It is specialized planning quality, explicit uncertainty treatment, and execution readiness.

What makes Action Foresight, LLC different

Built around the conviction that planning should lead to execution.

Action Foresight, LLC is built around the conviction that petroleum operators have been underserved by approaches that simplify the technical problem too early and treat planning as an end in itself rather than a path to execution.

Subsurface-first planning

Planning begins with the subsurface, where uncertainty, risk, and value actually sit. The work is built from well and reservoir behavior outward, not from management targets backward.

Explicit uncertainty treatment

Development planning without honest uncertainty quantification produces false confidence. Action Foresight, LLC emphasizes direct risk characterization so decisions reflect a realistic range of outcomes.

Execution-oriented engagement

The model is designed to support planning through implementation, monitoring, and adjustment as new drilling and production results emerge.

Integrated software plus consulting

ForeUR supports the technical planning process, while Action Foresight, LLC helps connect the analysis to executable development and production decisions.

Founder credibility grounded in field experience

More than 90 years of combined reservoir-engineering experience.

Action Foresight, LLC was founded by two of the petroleum industry’s most experienced reservoir engineers. Together, the founders bring more than 90 years of combined experience, deep technical work across more than 50 oil and gas fields, and a record of leading complex, multidisciplinary technical planning efforts.

Dr. Emad A. Elrafie

Co-Founder

Dr. Elrafie is a distinguished reservoir engineer with decades of experience across major producing regions. His work has consistently connected deep technical reservoir science with executive-level strategic planning and multidisciplinary asset development studies.

Jerry Paul White

Co-Founder

Jerry Paul White is a senior reservoir engineer and planning specialist with decades of hands-on experience across diverse field types and geographies. He is recognized for practical, technically grounded development and production planning built around real subsurface behavior.

Philosophy

Rigorous plans, responsive execution.

Action Foresight, LLC is built on the view that strong planning is not just about forecasting outcomes. It is about building plans that reflect subsurface reality, quantify uncertainty honestly, support real decisions, and remain useful as operating conditions change.

That is why the company combines technical rigor with implementation discipline. The objective is not to produce an isolated planning exercise, but to support decisions that can be carried into execution and adjusted as new information becomes available.

A specialized independent player in technical planning

Action Foresight, LLC is positioned as a specialized independent company focused on technically rigorous, executable development and production planning.

Its role is not to be a broad, generic software vendor or a purely advisory study shop. The value proposition is the combination of deep technical planning expertise, explicit uncertainty treatment, and purpose-built software support.
