SynMax Taps Funk Futures to Accelerate Adoption of Its AI-Driven Energy Intelligence Technology

Continuous, verified intelligence from satellite, proprietary, and internal data, turning signal into decision advantage.

Houston, TX — April 7, 2026 — Funk Futures today announced a new partnership with SynMax, an energy intelligence company redefining how operators and energy firms understand and act on real-world activity.

The collaboration enables upstream operators, oilfield service providers, and midstream companies to leverage the SynMax BasinIQ technology: an agentic AI system that delivers continuous operational visibility, AI-driven analysis, and decision-ready intelligence at scale.

SynMax is building a new category of energy intelligence that goes beyond static data and dashboards. BasinIQ is a modular system that can combine agentic AI, proprietary satellite monitoring, and public data to deliver observed, verified insight, or it can be deployed within a customer’s own environment to place powerful AI agents directly on top of internal data and workflows. This flexibility helps energy teams surface insights faster, reduce manual effort, and make more confident decisions. 

“SynMax has built one of the most compelling platforms I’ve seen in energy,” said Jeremy Funk, CEO of Funk Futures. “The ability to move from raw signal to clear, actionable insight this quickly is a real step change for operators. We’re excited to bring this capability to our network.”

The platform can parse complex completion reports, PDFs, and other unstructured operational data, transforming raw information into usable insight in minutes, not days. Its satellite imagery allows operators to track drilling rigs and frac crews daily, delivering earlier visibility than traditional public data sources, and with higher accuracy than crews’ self-reported data. BasinIQ also integrates directly with internal databases, enabling teams to compare internal and external data and generate actionable insights through natural language prompts.

"At SynMax, we’re focused on enriching AI with the power of domain expertise,” said Eric Anderson, CEO of SynMax. “This technology has already been tested and proven in the world’s largest banks, hedge funds, and government agencies, including 12 in the U.S. We’re excited to bring that capability to oil and gas and give every user access to the kind of analytical horsepower that once required an entire team.”

Through this partnership, Funk Futures will support SynMax with market expansion, strategic positioning, and thought leadership, scaling adoption of a new intelligence layer for the energy industry.
