Case Study: a leading oil & gas technology provider achieves faster drilling operations with EPAM Systems

Increasing Drilling Operational Productivity with Digital Platforms in the Oil & Gas Industry

EPAM Systems partnered with an oil & gas company, a leading global provider of technology for the energy sector. The client faced significant challenges in its transition to modern Agile and web-based software development. These hurdles were compounded by geographically distributed teams with limited time-zone overlap and a need to drastically shorten product time-to-market for its mission-critical, zero-downtime operational platforms.

Leveraging its expertise in digital platform engineering, application development, and Agile QA & testing, EPAM implemented a comprehensive solution. This included leading the client's Agile transformation, optimizing communication channels across global delivery centers, and building tailored QA processes. The results were substantial, with EPAM helping to engineer platforms that reduced non-productive drilling time; in one instance, a well was delivered six days ahead of schedule. Over their 13+ year partnership, EPAM has consistently helped the client optimize operations, reduce drilling costs, and accelerate the delivery of commercial-grade software.
