Discover Insights. Surface Risks Early. Drive Performance Forward.
As upstream energy operations become more digital, interconnected, and data-intensive, the challenge is no longer access to data, it’s centered around turning complex, multi-domain data into timely, confident decisions.
Exploration, drilling, and production teams are inundated with data from subsurface models, drilling systems, SCADA streams, production histories, and enterprise applications. Yet this data often remains fragmented across IT and OT systems, specialty tools, and organizational silos. The result is slow handoffs, delayed insights, and missed opportunities to mitigate risk or optimize performance.
The Snowflake and Spotfire advantage for upstream oil & gas organizations.
Snowflake’s Energy Solutions establishes the modern data foundation upstream operators need. By unifying traditionally siloed IT, OT, and IoT data, Snowflake enables secure collaboration, scalable analytics, and responsible AI across the energy value chain.
But a strong data foundation is only the beginning.
To extract real value, engineers and domain experts need to interact with that data visually, intuitively, and in context, without sacrificing governance or performance. This is where Spotfire comes in.
Together, Snowflake and Spotfire create a single, governed environment where upstream teams can move seamlessly from raw data to operational insight.
Discover insights across the subsurface and surface
Snowflake handles the scale and complexity of upstream data, from high-frequency SCADA signals to decades of geological and production history. Spotfire transforms that data into fast, interactive visual analytics purpose-built for energy workflows, through our visual-first approach to data science..
Engineers can blend subsurface, drilling, and production data in one analytical canvas:
- Compare well performance across assets and time
- Explore relationships between geology, completions, and production outcomes
- Investigate anomalies that would be invisible in static dashboards or SQL queries
Each discipline works from the same trusted data source in Snowflake, while Spotfire enables experts, from geoscientists, drilling engineers, and production teams, to work effectively and discover insights that drive performance and growth.
Surface risks early, before they become events
In upstream operations, the cost of late insight is high. Equipment failures, drilling hazards, production losses, and environmental incidents often signal problems long before they become critical events.
Snowflake provides the governed, historical, and real-time data backbone. Spotfire adds the visual data science layer that enables teams to:
- Detect emerging anomalies in production and pressure data
- Monitor asset health using AI and time-series analysis
- Rapidly perform root-cause analysis when conditions deviate from expectations
By pushing heavy transformations and calculations down to Snowflake and keeping analysis in-flow within Spotfire, teams move faster, without data movement, duplication, or broken governance.
Drive performance forward with confident decisions
Advanced analytics should not live exclusively in back-office teams. The Snowflake & Spotfire partnership shifts analytical power directly into the hands of upstream engineers.
Spotfire empowers domain experts to:
- Run scenario analysis and compare development strategies
- Evaluate asset performance and intervention opportunities
- Collaborate across disciplines using shared, explainable analytics
At the same time, Snowflake ensures security, lineage, and compliance at scale, enabling organizations to innovate with AI and advanced analytics without compromising trust.
A future-proof analytics platform for upstream energy
Energy companies aren’t just modernizing systems, they’re redefining how the world energizes the future. Snowflake provides the cloud-native data foundation required for this transformation. Spotfire delivers the extensible visual data science layer that evolves alongside new data sources, algorithms, and energy workflows.
Together, Snowflake and Spotfire help upstream organizations:
- Discover deeper insights across complex datasets
- Surface risks earlier to protect people, assets, and the environment
- Drive sustained performance in an increasingly dynamic energy landscape
