Enverus Pumps Data-driven Applications Faster Using Denodo’s Data Virtualization Platform

Enverus’s business growth drove the need for the company to build next generation products to support key O&G market segments. These products include applications to support well production and oil field services workflows, geo services for map analysis, a Geology, Geophysical and Engineering (GG&E) platform for interpretations and visualization, as well as a soon to be released mineral interest analysis application. Rapid time-to-market for these products and applications was crucial and this implied that the Data Tech team needed to deliver a data platform that supported the internal application development team quicker than they had been doing in the past. Also, rapid delivery of data directly to the customers was needed as well. However, the Data Tech team was challenged with integrating the data across the data warehouse, other data sources and providing it to the data consumers quickly. The product development team’s delivery timelines were routinely at risk due to data availability and data consistency issues. As a result, the developers were directly accessing the data sources and in other cases suffering from severe delivery delays. To solve this issue, one option was to use conventional ETL (extract, transform, and load), but that would take several weeks. A more timely way of meeting the needs of the product development team was needed.

Enverus is the leading SaaS and data analytics company for energy exploration decision support, helping the oil and gas industry achieve better, faster results. The company’s predictive decision platform combines intelligence, analytics, tools, and services in one seamless system to deliver value at every stage of the E&P process. Enverus services more than 3,200 companies globally from its Austin, Texas-based headquarters, and has more than 500 employees on five continents. Enverus’s primary goal is to enable key O&G market segments with information that drives business intelligence in these functions: decide where/how to drill and produce wells to generate the highest return (E&P companies); decide where and in whom to invest equity and debt financing (financial markets and M&A); and decide the highest potential business development opportunities (oil field services). To help drive these decisions, Enverus collects data from various sources and packages them up for sale to their customers.
