PetroSentinel is the only real-time chokepoint risk platform built exclusively for oil and gas operators, commodity traders, and maritime insurers. We translate global intelligence into scores your team can act on.
What we do
What we do
Most geopolitical risk platforms deliver reports. PetroSentinel delivers scores, updated every 15 minutes. The IRR-E (Energy Route Risk Index) synthesizes 11 open-source data feeds — including GDELT 2.0 in 65 languages, AIS vessel tracking, OFAC/EU/UN sanctions registers, and EIA petroleum volume data — into a single 0–10 score per chokepoint.
When the IRR-E crosses a threshold, Analyst subscribers receive an email alert within 15 minutes. When war risk conditions escalate, Operator subscribers have access to the AI Agent for real-time operations briefings and timestamped intelligence exports. No interpretation lag. No editorial delay. No generic geopolitical noise.
Why PetroSentinel exists
Speed
30h
ahead of Reuters
GDELT detects emerging risk patterns in real-time news across 65 languages — hours before editorial media publishes and markets price in the risk.
Specificity
100%
O&G vertical
Unlike Bloomberg, S&P Global, or Dataminr — which cover all sectors — PetroSentinel speaks only in chokepoints, barrels, cargo, sanctions perimeters, and shipping lanes.
Price
$199
per month, Analyst annual plan
Comparable platforms cost $50K–$200K/year. Analyst delivers real-time chokepoint intelligence for less than one hour of outside legal counsel at a major O&G firm.
