About Us
ROQ AI Inc. was founded by Shahriar Shahbazian in December 2021 and was formally incorporated in the Province of Alberta on April 19, 2022. Since its inception, the company has been dedicated to developing innovative technologies, for advancing petrophysical interpretation.
In parallel with developing the petrophysical software, ROQ AI has been actively advancing the research and conceptual design of an integrated hardware system aimed at transforming the way drilled cuttings are sampled, processed, and analysed.
The envisioned system combines automated sampling technologies with multi-modal analytical capabilities, enabling the consistent, efficient, and high-quality handling of drill cuttings directly at the wellsite. By reducing reliance on manual processes, the hardware is designed to improve data reliability and operational efficiency.
This integrated solution supports a range of analytical techniques within a single platform, allowing for the simultaneous acquisition of complementary geological and compositional data. The objective is to provide a more comprehensive and real-time understanding of subsurface conditions, enhancing the overall quality of reservoir characterisation.
A key feature of the hardware development strategy is its seamless integration with ROQ AI’s cloud-based software platform. Data generated by the system is automatically transferred and synchronised with the digital environment, enabling continuous processing, interpretation, and visualisation. This tight hardware–software integration ensures that insights derived from physical samples are rapidly incorporated into advanced petrophysical workflows.
Through this approach, ROQ AI aims to deliver a unified, end-to-end solution that bridges physical sample acquisition and digital analysis, ultimately supporting faster, more accurate, and data-driven decision-making in subsurface evaluation.
