Petrabytes was founded in Houston with one conviction: the energy industry's data complexity is not a generic data problem. It needs a platform — and a team — that understands wells, seismic, reservoir, and operations from the inside.
Petrabytes Corp is a Houston-based company with engineering operations in Bangalore, India. Founded by Sashi Gunturu — MS Petroleum Engineering, MS Computer Science, 18 years upstream oil & gas, former Baker Hughes and Geomechanics International — the company builds the data infrastructure that makes enterprise AI work in energy.
Our platform, PIEScale, is the result of watching energy companies struggle with the same problem for two decades: enormous scientific datasets, fragmented across systems, in formats generic platforms were never built to understand. We built what didn't exist.
We are not a services company that built a product. We are a product company that delivers it.
Sashi Gunturu builds deep expertise in upstream oil & gas at Baker Hughes and Geomechanics International — geomechanics, reservoir modeling, fiber optic sensing, and enterprise software development across 18 years.
Houston, Texas. First US Patent filed for subsurface imaging and big data processing. Focus on data engineering and cloud analytics for the energy sector.
Petrabytes presents at AVEVA World, San Francisco — demonstrating real-time edge computing with Shell's RTDA Platform and AVEVA Data Hub. OSDU contribution work begins.
PIEScale recognized at the Hart Energy Technology Showcase — AAPG validation alongside C3 AI, SLB, and Palantir. AWS Marketplace listing goes live. OSDU Sensing Data Standard contribution delivered.
