Proof of Usefulness Score

Industry Mainstay

Opla Energy is a verifiable, revenue-generating oilfield services company (~$5M-$10M est. revenue, ~50+ employees) specializing in Managed Pressure Drilling (MPD). Despite the submission's extremely low quality (false claims of 'everyone' reach and 'most people' traction), independent verification confirms the existence of proprietary technology (PMD, OplaSmart), industry awards (OTC Small Business Award), and operations in Canada and Texas. The project scores highly on Utility and verifiable Traction, but is heavily penalized in Audience Reach and Response Quality due to the inaccurate and low-effort submission data.
