Enhancing a robust data analysis platform for the Oil & Gas industry

The client’s platform required significant development, with a particular focus on the front end. Our team was tasked with developing and implementing several key modules that were distinct pieces of functionality. This included handling long-running background operations and building complex features for data management and analysis. 

Honeycomb Software engineers were tasked with enhancing the platform’s functionality. A key part of this effort was a complete rewrite of the notification system, a crucial component for providing users with real-time updates on long-running background tasks, as well as the development of several new features. 

• Real-time Notification System: We completely re-engineered the notification system to provide real-time updates for users on the progress of time-consuming background operations, such as economic or forecast runs. The system was designed to show task status, including progress percentages and errors, and was integrated with server-to-client communication to provide instant updates.

• Merge Scenarios & Merge Projects: The engineers implemented features that allow users to merge two scenarios or two entire projects. The merge process involves combining data and handling potential conflicts. For project merging, the system automatically handles duplicate module names. 

• Data Management Features: We added the ability for users to update and delete imported production data for wells. Additionally, a new entity called “Wells Collections” was implemented, which allows users to group multiple wells together for easier use in scenarios. 

• Embedded Lookup Tables (ELTs): A complex feature was implemented to provide users with the ability to create and use dynamic data tables within the advanced economic models. These tables get values for a particular well to be used during an economics run. 

• Desktop Data Synchronization Application: Our team helped develop a desktop application from scratch to synchronize data from a client’s local environment with the web platform. This was a separate but critical component of the overall project.

The Honeycomb Software team significantly improved the platform, making it more functional and robust with a range of new and enhanced features. The implemented solutions gave users real-time feedback on long-running tasks and introduced new ways to manage and analyze data through merging and grouping functionalities. These improvements directly strengthened the platform’s core value proposition.
