Case Study: Seadrill achieves data-driven operational and cost efficiencies with Microsoft Corporation Azure and Power BI

Seadrill are mining the benefits of Azure big data

Seadrill, a leading global deep-water drilling company, needed a better way to collect, visualize, and use the vast amounts of data generated by its rigs to predict equipment failures, optimize performance, and improve decision-making. Microsoft Corporation’s Azure and Power BI tools were central to helping Seadrill turn safety, operations, and financial data into actionable insight.

Microsoft Corporation implemented Azure’s real-time analytics, interactive dashboards, and Azure Machine Learning for automated inventory optimization across six rigs. The result was better cost control through improved stock management, stronger performance insights for customer negotiations, and measurable business advantages from faster, data-driven decisions.
