Case Study: Equinor streamlines reservoir modeling analytics with Plotly Dash

Equinor boosts reservoir analytics with Plotly Dash across 15+ fields

Equinor, a major international energy company, faced a significant challenge in analyzing and presenting vast amounts of subsurface modeling data from its reservoir operations. This lengthy, error-prone process of collating data from various specialty software into static presentations created a bottleneck for efficient business decisions. To address this, Equinor turned to vendor Plotly and utilized its Dash framework to build a new visualization platform.

By implementing a solution with Plotly's Dash, Equinor developed its Webviz platform, which operationalizes data science across the company. The results include saving an estimated 30,000 labor hours annually at a single field, providing better-looking and more customizable plots, and enabling faster communication of analysis to decision-makers. The success of the Plotly-powered platform has led to its broad rollout and adoption by other groups within Equinor for wind and carbon capture projects.
