Case Study: Global Research and Consultancy Company achieves 95% reduction in data collection time with Tungsten Automation

Global Research and Consultancy Company Frees Analysts from Time-Consuming Manual Data Collection Tasks.

A global research and consultancy firm serving the energy, metals and mining sectors needed a consistent, scalable way to gather tens of thousands of oil well records for a new North America Well Analysis Tool. With roughly 30–40 data points per well and about a thousand new wells drilled each week, manual collection was impractical and the company needed a standardized, compliant process for high‑volume web data extraction.

The firm implemented Kofax Kapow to automate extraction from websites and integrate data into a central database, producing a dataset of roughly 16 billion data points and enabling a formalized data‑collection group. Automation cut person‑hours for data gathering by over 95% (from days to 2–3 hours), improved copyright compliance and freed analysts to focus on analysis, delivering faster, higher‑quality insights to clients.
