Compliance Monitor Agent
The Compliance Monitor is a watchdog agent that continuously tracks regulatory compliance across your entire portfolio. It scans for upcoming deadlines, flags risk areas, and provides compliance summaries on demand.
What the Compliance Monitor Does
Unlike the Rule 37 and Rule 32 agents, which focus on preparing specific filings, the Compliance Monitor takes a portfolio-wide view. It:
- Tracks deadlines for permits, filings, and authorizations across all your wells and leases
- Monitors production against allowables and gas-oil ratio (GOR) thresholds
- Detects rule changes from the RRC that could affect your active operations
- Scores risk for each well and lease based on multiple compliance factors
- Generates summaries of your portfolio’s compliance posture
Alert Levels
The Compliance Monitor uses three severity levels:
| Level | Meaning | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| INFO | General compliance status updates | Monthly compliance summary, status change notifications |
| WARNING | Approaching deadlines or minor anomalies | Deadline within 30 days, production trending near limits |
| CRITICAL | Imminent deadlines or violations | Deadline within 7 days, detected violation, threshold exceedance |
Example Prompts
Here are effective ways to work with the Compliance Monitor:
“Show me the compliance status for our Permian Basin wells”
“What deadlines do we have coming up in the next 30 days?”
“Which wells in our portfolio have the highest compliance risk?”
“Give me a summary of any rule changes that affect our District 08 operations”
“Are there any production anomalies in the Johnson Unit wells?”
“What is the risk score for Mitchell Ranch 1H?”
What to Expect
When you ask the Compliance Monitor a question:
- The agent loads context about your portfolio from the knowledge graph.
- It scans relevant data — deadlines, production records, rule databases — based on your question.
- Results are presented as a structured summary, often including:
- A list of entities sorted by urgency or risk
- Specific deadlines with their dates and required actions
- Risk scores with explanations of contributing factors
- Recommended next steps
Interpreting Risk Scores
The Compliance Monitor assigns risk scores to entities based on multiple factors:
- Deadline proximity — How close is the nearest filing or renewal deadline?
- Compliance history — Has this entity had past violations or late filings?
- Data completeness — Is all required data present in the knowledge graph?
- Volume trends — Is production or flaring trending toward thresholds?
- Rule exposure — How many regulatory domains apply to this entity?
Higher scores indicate greater compliance risk and a need for prioritized attention.
Using the Monitor with the Dashboard
The Compliance Monitor agent’s analysis feeds into the Compliance Dashboard. The summary cards, matrix statuses, and charts reflect the same data the agent uses in its assessments.
You can think of the dashboard as the visual layer and the Compliance Monitor as the analytical engine behind it. When you need deeper analysis than the dashboard provides, talk to the agent directly.
Proactive Alerts
The Compliance Monitor can surface alerts without being asked. When it detects a critical issue — such as a deadline that is about to pass or a new RRC rule that affects your operations — an alert will appear in the compliance dashboard.
The Compliance Monitor does not directly create filings. If it identifies an issue that requires a filing (such as a spacing exception or R-32 renewal), it will recommend that you start a conversation with the appropriate filing agent (Rule 37 or Rule 32).
Tips
- Ask broad questions first (“What is our overall compliance status?”), then drill into specifics based on what the agent reports.
- Request regular summaries (weekly or monthly) to stay ahead of emerging issues.
- When the agent flags a high-risk entity, follow up by opening that entity’s workspace from the compliance matrix.
- The agent’s risk assessments are only as good as the data in the knowledge graph. Keep entity data current for the most accurate results.
