What is Tachyus?
Founded in 2014, Tachyus specializes in high-performance software solutions designed to enhance operational efficiency within the energy sector. The company's flagship platform, Aqueon, utilizes a proprietary Data Physics engine to optimize waterflood modeling, effectively reducing costs and greenhouse gas emissions for global operators. By extending its technological capabilities to include CO2 EOR optimization and launching the Aurion platform in 2022, Tachyus has successfully transitioned into the ESG software market. This strategic expansion allows the firm to assist GHG-intensive industries in forecasting, optimizing, and reporting emissions, a capability that has already garnered a robust client base across the United States, the Middle East, and Latin America.
