Case Study: Expand Energy achieves real-time drilling insights and faster app delivery with Plotly Dash Enterprise

Expand Energy cuts drilling app delivery from 16 weeks to 4 weeks with Plotly

Expand Energy, formerly known as Chesapeake Energy, faced challenges with inadequate real-time drilling data visualizations and the high cost of providing secure mobile access to that data for its field agents. The company needed to replace an expensive vendor solution and a cumbersome desktop SCADA system to empower its remote teams. They turned to vendor Plotly and its product Dash Enterprise to address these issues.

Using Dash Enterprise, Expand Energy built in-house, mobile-friendly applications with robust security that integrated with data sources like Snowflake. This solution from Plotly resulted in 100% adoption of the new drilling apps, substantial cost savings by replacing a $150,000 vendor, and a reduction in time-to-delivery from 16 weeks to just 4 weeks. The applications also helped prevent costly drilling setbacks, saving millions of dollars per unplanned incident.
