Energy and utility companies are constantly growing their reach as they find new energy sources and expand into new areas. Keeping track of all of their operations, projects, employees and customer experience can be challenging.  

Individual citizens, local communities, and activist organizations are using social media to organize and stop or delay new energy projects. Social media is also becoming a key communication mechanism when energy assets fail.

There is no doubt the rise in social media usage is having a significant impact on energy companies.  Further, energy companies have been unable to find software tools that can help them manage the impact of social community resistance on their core business – hydrocarbon production – until now.

Once deployed, the listening lens enables energy companies to listen and better understand the social conversation, gather data, and analyze social influencers originating from inside the designated location. The context of location is a powerful filter in the chaotic universe of social media big data.
