September 2024 update: note that this article is currently being edited.
Introduction
Today’s energy companies simply cannot improve their margins, grow their profits, or outperform their industry peers without leveraging data. The oil and gas industry is changing rapidly. Regulatory pressure, changing customer expectations, and an intensive focus on efficiency compel energy companies to change the way they do business. Whether the focus is exploration and extraction, transportation and storage, or refining and delivery, Spotfire analytics can help organizations work smarter in all that they do.

Spotfire Solutions by Use Case Domain
Spotfire Copilot in Energy
Spotfire Copilot™ is a free, natural language extension to the Spotfire® platform. It leverages large language models (LLMs) to augment business intelligence and artificial intelligence, all in Spotfire. Copilot applications in energy has many use cases. In our example we used the Spotfire Copilot to help with transforming Oil and Gas specific data (LAS and DLIS) files into a format that can be understood by Spotfire. Copilot was also used to provide quick data insights and some domain related questions.

Realtime Well Completion Survey
Using Spotfire to monitor and analyze real-time data coming from Oil Field during completion process, we also used data functions to further analyze and estimate the ISIP (Instantaneous Shut-In Pressure).

Realtime Intelligent Equipment Surveillance
The Intelligent Equipment Accelerator provides a reference architecture and code assets for building telemetry monitoring solutions inside of equipment hierarchies. It is primarily configuration-driven which allows a flexible object hierarchy based on the generic concept of Entities. Attached to these Entities are Devices which represent data producing sensors. The platform illustrates how capturing sensor telemetry can be used to gain business insights.

Historian Data Replay and Analysis
The Data Replay Accelerator for Spotfire® is used to capture and replay in real-time data from historian systems like OSI PI, OPC UA, or a other repository. When an anomaly or trigger condition is detected, it retrieves a configurable amount of data before and after the anomaly, and gives operators the capability to replay this data for observation in a Spotfire® dashboard.

Drilling and Completion Accelerator
The IoT Drilling Accelerator is a platform to consume drill head data from Oil Rigs, perform Analytics on the data and present to Drilling Engineers. The Analytics are performed in Real Time and the results sent to Spotfire® and Live Datamart dashboards. This gives an up to date view of Rig state and the ability to detect anomalies as they occur.

Benefits of Digital Transformation and Applied Data Science for the Energy Sector
Why are so many energy companies determined to digitally transform? Modern companies cannot improve margins, grow profits, or beat their peers without gaining insights from their data. To get the full benefits from data, they must transform every business function?from analytics to operations to marketing.
Spotfire® Analytics: Analytics Capabilities for Energy
Energy is a digital business. Top to bottom, Spotfire® analytics with applied data science and TIBCO® integration software play across the spectrum, solving the most complex industry problems.
Data science is a team sport. Data scientists, citizen data scientists, data engineers, business users, and developers need flexible and extensible tools that promote collaboration, automation, and reuse of analytic workflows. But algorithms are only one piece of the advanced analytic puzzle. To deliver predictive insights, companies need to increase focus on the deployment, management, and monitoring of analytic models. Smart businesses rely on platforms that support end-to-end analytics lifecycle while providing enterprise security and governance. Spotfire® Data Science software helps organizations innovate and solve complex problems faster to ensure predictive findings quickly turn into optimal outcomes.
Upstream
In terms of generating value at the Reservoir, Spotfire analytics is across the spectrum from where to drill, how to optimally complete, and how to operate.
Examples of applied Data Science using Spotfire:
Spotfire Real-Time AI Completions Solution - Sharp insights into completion tasks
Completion Demo Main Page.
- Summary and Objective: We worked on this solution along with TIBCO and Spotfire partner Rivitt. The main goal of the solution is to provide an end-to-end solution for well crews and engineers to examine and monitor the real-time completion data (streamed live from the wellpad) and also to perform some data analysis tasks. In this solution, Rivitt will perform the data collection from the wellpad sensors, aggregating it and connecting it to TIBCO data streams, where we connect to that resource from Spotfire. We also have a TDV data source in order to write data back from the Spotfire dashboard.

Value at the Reservoir
The number of data scientists in reservoir characterization teams continues to increase, but most of their work is oriented toward predicting rock properties, fluid patterns, reservoir quality, production, and well performance. However, to analyze the data and accomplish their goals, they must spend a lot of time conditioning the data, interpreting logs, correlating wells, mapping structures, and generating seismic properties to get the attributes that will then be used to train predictive models, run classifications, and uncover hidden patterns.
