The W Energy alternative.
W Energy is a cloud field-to-finance ERP for upstream and midstream oil & gas, with land as one module of an accounting-centric suite. Gridlync is a focused, AI-driven land platform that works across every infrastructure asset class.
About W Energy Software
Founded in 2009 and formerly known as Waterfield Energy, W Energy Software offers a complete cloud, field-to-finance solution for upstream and midstream operators, spanning accounting, production, marketing, and land. It is a strong fit for oil & gas companies that want accounting and operations in a single integrated suite.
About Gridlync
Gridlync is the operating system for infrastructure land agreements. Upload contracts in any format (PDFs, scanned documents, or spreadsheets) and Gridlync ingests them, structures every clause, automates payments and escalators, and surfaces every obligation before it costs you. One platform across every asset class: pipelines, solar, wind, transmission, data centers, fiber, and beyond.
How Gridlync is different
- Land-first, not accounting-first. Gridlync is built around land agreements and payments, not a land module inside a broad ERP you implement over months.
- AI ingestion of any agreement. Gridlync structures PDFs, scans, and spreadsheets automatically, instead of manual setup and data entry.
- Every asset class, one platform. Renewables, pipelines, transmission, data centers, and fiber, not upstream and midstream oil & gas alone.
