From reservoir to refinery: Spotfire AI and industrial analytics in space and time

Michael O'Connell, Spotfire

Spotfire provides an interactive AI and industrial analytics experience for geoscientists and engineers across the Energy sector. In upstream exploration, geoscience and spatial analytics are in focus—and interactive brush linking in the Spotfire map chart provides immediate insights. In upstream, midstream, and downstream, time-series data are the focus, with equipment data providing real-time visibility into production, yield, and equipment status. This duality of space-time immersive visual analytics in Spotfire generates confidence in capital-intensive investments and in optimization of operational systems. This presentation provides a tour of the Spotfire immersive AI and visual data science functionality across the energy sector, with a focus on space-time data sources.

Wider, deeper, faster: Spotfire in energy

Brad Hopper, Drew Scherer, Spotfire

The latest Spotfire release introduces the "Wider, Deeper, Faster" framework to significantly enhance energy analytics across the entire value chain. Wider reach expands analytical support beyond traditional upstream applications to integrate midstream and downstream data, enabling end-to-end energy intelligence. Deeper insight augments analytical power, allowing users to analyze complex relationships between multiple data sources directly within a single subsurface visualization. Faster performance is achieved through new Action Mods and native distributed compute support for Snowflake and Databricks. This refresh provides the industry's most robust environment for comprehensive end-to-end energy intelligence, with interactive demonstrations planned to showcase its value across subsurface, production, and midstream.

Dr. Spotfire panel: Foundational tools for the Spotfire energy ecosystem

Jose Leviaguirre and panelists

This interactive Dr. Spotfire panel features a Q&A session and hands-on demonstrations, focusing on Spotfire developers and power users. We will chat with Spotfire experts about how they can extend the functionality of Spotfire to meet the specialized demands in the energy sector. From reservoir to refinery, from geospatial analytics to time series analysis, panelists will share insights that showcase visual data science methods and new Spotfire features. The discussion will cover Spotfire developer tricks, kits, and practical methods for integrating external tools and libraries, as well as how to address engineering challenges and build analytics applications for the energy industry.

Spotfire roadmap: End-to-end energy intelligence

Daniel Pimentel, Spotfire

Spotfire is trailblazing the next generation of energy workflows with embedded AI assistance. Learn more about how we are honing in on end-to-end capabilities for asset valuation, field development, and production optimization as the foundation for our roadmap. Get an early preview of demos for our native PI integration, revamped time series analytics, dynamic curve fitting, and much more. We will enable specialized energy workflows at Industrial Scale with our new architecture for distributed compute on Snowflake and Databricks. No matter the data volume, data diversity, or problem complexity, Spotfire will guide domain experts through critical decision-making from the reservoir to the refinery.
