Case Study: Hunt Oil Company achieves real-time IoT drilling insights with TIBCO Software

Hunt Oil stays ahead of the curve with smart IoT drilling

Hunt Oil, a private oil and gas exploration and production company based in Dallas, faced out-of-date insights, inflexible vendor applications, and limited agility that slowed its ability to extract actionable information from operational data. The company needed a faster, more flexible way to analyze real‑time and historical drilling data so engineers could spot patterns and act before problems occurred.

Using the TIBCO Drilling Accelerator and a stack including TIBCO Spotfire X, Spotfire Data Streams, TIBCO Streaming, and TIBCO Messaging, Hunt built a smart IoT drilling system that delivers a single, real‑time view of analyses and lets engineers inject and run algorithms at the edge. The platform cut development from months to weeks (testing began in under six weeks), reduced time‑to‑insight from days to seconds, enabled “query the future” predictive checks to prevent failures, and delivered time and cost savings through faster, data‑driven decisions.
