My most popular post of the year: mapping 1.7 million Texas oil & gas wells with zero performance lag. Draw a lasso, instantly query operators. There are so many opportunities for advanced GIS + AI to impact oil and gas, helping operators, mineral buyers, brokers, and more.

All 1.7 million oil & gas wells in Texas. Ownership instantly tabulated from a lasso on an interactive map. Zero performance lag, no backend database required. Incredible what we can do in geospatial these days.

I configured my OpenClaw bot to fetch the most recent drilling permits from the Texas Railroad Commission. It grabs the permits, parses the data, maps them over satellite imagery, and sends them over to me via Telegram. The opportunities for AI + GIS in oil and gas are massive.

Nearly 800 swimming pools identified from Mapbox satellite imagery with Meta's SAM3 in a section of Beverly Hills. In the soon-to-be-released {geosam} R package: review results by confidence level, filter, then export. This is shaping into a tool for serious applied work.

Showed my Advanced GIS students Claude Code this week. We built this map of code compliance violations in Fort Worth; heatmap giving way to points on zoom. Used the ArcGIS SDK for JavaScript. Took 10 minutes. Faculty need to be teaching skills for 2026, not for 2016.

Mapped every pipeline in Texas: 368,000 miles of infrastructure at your fingertips. For energy operators, midstream companies, and data center site selectors, understanding pipeline proximity matters. Open data + modern GIS makes it accessible.

1,890 swimming pools found across a 5 square mile suburban neighborhood with zero-shot image segmentation. Lower the confidence threshold to find even more! Use the interactive explorer in the {geosam} R package to try out Meta's SAM3 for satellite imagery analysis yourselves.

Gemini has always been my go-to LLM for document extraction - but accurate bounding boxes with agentic vision are a huge value-add in the latest Gemini models. Shown: extracting structured data from an oil & gas lease in Ector County Texas with the best bboxes I've seen yet.

Working on visualizing the ERCOT interconnection queue. 1,880 active projects, ~415 GW in the pipeline - roughly 5x Texas peak demand. Fuzzy-matched queue entries to substations from their points-of-interconnection with fallback to county when necessary.
