Funk Futures Partners with LiORA to Expand Real-Time Environmental Intelligence Across Oil & Gas

Partnership supports LiORA’s mission to help organizations make faster, more confident decisions through continuous contaminant monitoring and predictive insights

Denver, CO: 10/06/2026 — Funk Futures today announced a partnership with LiORA to support the continued growth and market expansion of its real-time environmental intelligence platform across the oil and gas industry and other sectors managing environmental remediation and contaminated sites.

Environmental monitoring has traditionally relied on periodic sampling and static reports, giving organizations snapshots of site conditions rather than a continuous view of what is happening underground. This limited visibility can lead to slower decisions, unnecessary costs, and longer remediation and closure timelines.

LiORA combines continuous, in-situ monitoring of hydrocarbons, chloride, chlorinated solvents and MTBE with AI-powered analytics to give environmental teams greater visibility into subsurface conditions. The platform helps organizations understand contaminant behavior, identify trends, evaluate plume stability, and make more informed remediation decisions.

For oil and gas operators and environmental consulting services alike, LiORA provides continuous insight into contaminants and environmental conditions, helping teams identify changes earlier, reduce unnecessary field sampling, and strengthen evidence around remediation progress and site stability. The platform can also incorporate historical data and integrate with existing environmental workflows.

LiORA’s technology has already demonstrated measurable results, including a single deployment that generated nearly $750,000 in reported savings over one year while collecting more than 23 million data points.

Through the partnership, Funk Futures will support LiORA through strategic business development, sales execution, and market engagement, helping the company expand its presence and connect with organizations facing increasingly complex environmental monitoring and remediation challenges.

“What attracted me to LiORA was the depth behind what they’ve built,” said Jeremy Funk, Founder and CEO of Funk Futures. “This isn’t a company that came up with an idea, put AI around it, and then went looking for a problem to solve. There are years of research, technical expertise, and real-world application behind the technology, and they’ve already demonstrated that it can create meaningful value. That combination is rare, and we’re excited to help more companies understand what LiORA can do."

“A lab sample tells you what one well looked like on one day, and most sites only get a handful of those a year,” said Nick Gray, Chief Operating Officer of LiORA. “Our sensors stay in the ground all year, so operators and their regulators can see seasonal swings, prove their remediation program is working, and catch a problem while it's developing instead of a quarter later. Funk Futures gives us reach into the operators and consultants who need that kind of evidence.”

LiORA’s approach reflects a broader evolution in environmental management, where organizations are moving from periodic measurement and reactive decision-making toward continuous intelligence, predictive analysis, and evidence-based remediation strategies. As companies seek to reduce environmental liabilities, improve regulatory confidence, and accelerate site closure, access to better and more timely data is becoming increasingly important.
