KCI Partners with Funk Futures for Strategic Expansion in the US Energy Market

Houston, TX - 09/24/2025: Funk Futures, a leading growth consultancy for energy companies, today announced a strategic partnership with KCI, a specialist in well integrity, intervention and leak sealing for brownfield and greenfield assets, to expand their presence in the North American energy market.

Since its founding in 2002, KCI has built a strong reputation by tackling some of the industry’s toughest engineering challenges across subsea, topside, pipeline, downhole, and process environments. From chemical leak sealing to isolation gels, KCI’s solutions are trusted to minimize downtime, cut costs, and extend the operating life of production assets. Their expertise lies in a holistic approach: rigorous asset assessment, customized procedures, and precise execution that enable operators to protect production and ensure long-term well integrity.

KCI’s plug and abandonment (P&A) solutions are also becoming increasingly important as operators and regulators work to address the growing challenge of orphan and idle wells responsibly. By combining proven intervention expertise with advanced abandonment technologies, KCI supports clients through both the production and end-of-life stages of well operations.

“KCI’s track record in delivering reliable, effective solutions for production well integrity and intervention is exactly what today’s operators need — maximizing uptime while reducing risk,” said Jeremy Funk, Founder & CEO of Funk Futures. “We’re also excited to showcase their P&A capabilities, which will be critical as North America faces the orphan wells challenge head-on.”

“We have always prided ourselves on solving complex problems where traditional methods fall short,” said Kevin Watt, Managing Director of KCI. “Partnering with Funk Futures allows us to highlight our integrity and intervention expertise for production wells, while also expanding awareness of our P&A solutions that address the industry’s environmental and regulatory responsibilities.”

With this partnership, the primary focus will be on supporting well integrity and well intervention teams responsible for keeping production wells online and performing. This remains KCI’s legacy strength and a critical area for operators seeking safe, efficient, and cost-effective production.
