Case Study: Upstream Oil & Gas Company achieves 44% cost savings and faster, smarter decisions with TIBCO Software (Spotfire)

Upstream Oil and Gas Company Finds Unconventional Value in Spotfire

An upstream oil and gas producer specializing in tight gas, shale gas, coal bed methane and unconventional oil needed to become more efficient and data-driven amid a down market. Rapid growth through acquisition left fragmented, inconsistent datasets and brittle, manual processes that consumed time and IT support, while a wide range of internal users required role-specific workflows and clean, usable data to make better operational and financial decisions.

They implemented TIBCO Spotfire with TERR and custom Python scripts to normalize disparate data, build reusable role-based workflows, and automate analyses. The platform delivered faster, more accurate insight—cleaning data drove roughly 44% year‑over‑year savings in chemical cost reviews (tens of millions of dollars), reserves analysis moved from one well per minute to 30–40 wells per second, and teams now share best practices to better prioritize well interventions and resource allocation.
