Case Study: Santos achieves lower IT costs and faster analytics with Oracle Exadata

Santos Supports Long-Term Oil-and-Gas Growth Strategy with Analytics—Reduces IT Costs

Santos Ltd., one of Australia’s leading oil and gas producers, needed a high-performance, highly available, and scalable database platform to support 24/7 global operations, manage growing volumes of production and spatial data, and improve regulatory reporting. The company chose Oracle Exadata as part of an end-to-end Oracle hardware and software solution to maximize its IT investment and support long-term growth.

Oracle Exadata helped Santos process massive production allocation data 12x faster, complete spatial data compression at 52x, and speed invoice queries 7x faster, improving reporting, compliance, and cash flow. The integrated solution also reduced data-center, power, and cooling costs, simplified system management, and went live in just six months, delivering faster deployment with lower risk and stronger operational efficiency.
