Case Study: NOV achieves real-time drilling data reliability with PFLB load testing

Leading Oil & Gas Innovator, NOV Excels with Real-Time Drilling Data After Load Testing

NOV, a global provider of equipment and IT products for the oil and gas industry, faced a performance challenge with its CTES Max Completions tool. The application, which provides real-time drilling data, was experiencing scalability issues when users opened multiple dashboards. With limited internal performance engineering resources, NOV sought assistance from the vendor PFLB to identify and resolve these bottlenecks.

PFLB implemented its cloud-based load testing solution to perform rigorous testing on the application. The testing successfully identified a critical database bottleneck, enabling the NOV team to make targeted optimizations. The engagement with PFLB was cost-effective, resolved the performance issues, and equipped NOV's internal team with the capability to conduct future performance tests independently.
