RealTime Data Platform Modernization

Client: Leading global exploration & production company
Industry: Oil & Gas
Duration: 24 months

Challenge

Fragmented on-prem ecosystems, 18–24-hour data latency, $55M+ annual revenue leakage, inconsistent data across 40+ rigs, and manual reconciliation requiring 12 FTEs.

Solution

A cloud-native, real-time data platform using Informatica IDMC, Snowflake, and Azure.

Key Transformations

Data Ingestion & Integration (IDMC)

• 120+ reusable pipelines for seismic, SCADA, IoT, maintenance
• Real-time ingestion via API telemetry
• Schema drift automation & enterprise data quality
• Full automation eliminating manual handling

Data Platform Modernization (Snowflake)

• Single source of truth for well & production data
• Near real-time processing with Streams & Tasks
• Zero-copy cloning for accelerated simulations

Cloud Enablement (Azure)

• Centralized raw & curated layers in ADLS
• Event-driven ingestion via Azure Functions
• Scalable ML workloads on AKS

Outcome

• Unified ecosystem across 40+ rigs
• Latency reduced from 24 hours to near real-time
• 100% trusted, high-quality data
• Live well performance monitoring
• 75% reduction in unplanned downtime

Business Impact

• Eliminated manual reconciliation
• Faster drilling & production decisions
• Improved well placement & yield
• Strong data-driven culture
• Higher engineering confidence
