Global provider of oil field service solutions.
Oil & Gas
Optimizing performance for software post-framework migration.
The client encountered numerous technical issues that would necessitate extensive and time-costly regression testing, after migrating their existing application suite to the Eclipse RCP framework.
An ever-changing market dictated that the client needed to quickly develop and deliver products that offer full support at all stages of the extraction process. Updating existing products with better underlying frameworks and features was equally important.
Luxoft provided:
Unique skillsets – teams addressed the specific needs of the highly-specialized project.
Agile – Luxoft included certified Scrum masters in each of its seven Agile development teams, along with domain experts (geologists and geoscientists) to explain complex oil & gas workflows.
Luxoft also provided knowledge management and process improvements, better cost effectiveness, and on-time delivery.
Luxoft’s teams worked with the client to deliver new functionality and optimization for their suite of new-field development and resource-extraction applications, including:
End-to-end solutions for geoscience, well planning, and geo-steering.
Subsurface representation allowing for expert understanding of subsurface structure/properties.
Tools for real-time collaboration between geoscientists and reservoir engineers.
Geoscience workflow – uninterrupted.
3D rendering and modeling – digital processes that consume large amounts of the computing resource.
Offloading the computing resources required by geophysical algorithms to the GPU decreased computation duration by up to 1000 times over CPU-based calculations.
Now, our client has effective software with an easy-to-use UI, and automated workflow that reduces mistakes, enhances teamwork, and improves area exploration and predictive qualities. Which guarantees better, faster decisions, due to improved performance and usability.
Digital solutions for new field development and oil & gas extraction continue to rise in demand as fuel markets rapidly expand and change. Quickly developing and delivering products to market that offer comprehensive support at all stages of the extraction process is paramount to staying ahead of competitors. Updating existing products with better underlying frameworks and improved features is just as important.
One of Luxoft’s clients, a major provider of oil field service solutions, made the switch to the Ellipse RCP framework for its application suite. However, testing post-migration revealed unexpected technical issues that would necessitate extensive and time-costly regression testing.
To accelerate their time to market our client contracted with us for the following services:
Geologists and geoscientists worked closely with each Agile team to share industry knowledge and provide an in-depth prospective on the oil & gas extraction workflow. It was invaluable in the testing of specific product features as related to real-world application and interpretation of 3D rendering and models of worksites. Luxoft provided our client with the following benefits through the full development cycle of the project:
Luxoft’s teams worked with internal staff to deliver new functionality and optimization to their suite of new-field development and resource-extraction applications.
New functionality added to the client’s software included:
A key component of the suite of applications is 3D rendering and modeling; digital processes that consume large amounts of the computing resource. As such, Luxoft, and our client, optimized the performance of geophysical algorithms a high priority for the overall health of the applications.
Luxoft optimized performance by:
Luxoft domain experts were key to the project’s success, because it meant that our client avoided having to explain domain specifics. We delivered significant benefits to our client:
