Black Lily Blog, by William Dorman, Founder of Black Lily. Upstream · Mar 2026.
Lease operators, pumpers, and production teams in the Permian Basin are drowning in manual reporting. Black Lily automates production data capture, artificial lift monitoring, and TRRC compliance reporting directly from your well-site infrastructure.
