Case Study: Global Energy Producing Company achieves $22M netback and 74% faster cycle times with Appian

How digital transformation resulted in millions of netback for a global E&P company

A major global oil & gas producer faced slow, paper‑based processes across the well asset lifecycle—drilling, completion, pipelines, gas migration and decommissioning—that increased costs, extended cycle times, introduced errors, and made it hard to meet growing regulatory and compliance demands. The company needed a rapid overhaul to streamline workflows, improve decision‑making about repairs or retirements, and accelerate time to production.

The company implemented Appian’s low‑code platform with Bits In Glass providing integration and consulting, automating processes, integrating GIS for accurate well geolocation, and adopting a case‑management model. Outcomes included cycle times cut from 192 to 50 days (≈74% reduction), $22M in new netback revenue, up to $100K/day cost savings (≈$15M/year), elimination of 800K lines of code, stronger regulatory compliance, faster project delivery in weeks, and a reported 200% ROI.
