The TIBCO Spotfire User Forum 2009

	TIBCO Spotfire User Forum 2009 Keynote Presentation *"Risk and Consequences: What can energy trading teach us about operational excellence?"* Sam Bennikutty, Senior Manager, Ernst & Young LLP Download The Presentation PDF Here! Mr. Bennikutty will share lessons from the expanding financial meltdown proving that every industry is risky and every part of the enterprise is subject to the effects of risk. What would be the benefit to operational performance if managing, mitigating and collaborating on risk could be made the shared responsibility of every business professional? Is this even possible? In this presentation, Ernst & Young will describe some of the fundamental requirements for running a risk-aware business and give examples from the energy trading industry of the key role a robust analytics platform can play in equipping a broader group of professionals to make risk-aware decisions in daily operations.
	*Optimizing Gas Injection to Improve Oil Recovery* Erin Van Volkenburgh, Reservoir Engineer, Chevron *Download The Presentation PDF Here!* Gas injection surveillance involves monitoring field injection and production volumes and pressure trends over time for optimal oil recovery. These large amounts of data are easily analyzed in Spotfire where trends and patterns are identified and graphically mapped. The use of Spotfire DXP in a Chevron-operated oil field identified low-pressure, under-injected areas and graphically displayed needed operational changes to management. The resulting injection modifications flattened the field decline rate for a marked improved recovery in oil and natural gas.
	“Supercharging our Barnett Shale Business Intelligence Tool with Spotfire” Ramona Hovey, VP Consulting, DrillingInfo *Download The Presentation PDF Here!* In 2008, DrillingInfo’s Energy Strategy Partners released the first of their basin research platforms. Beyond the obvious capabilities of using Spotfire to assist in the development of the basic analytical report, DI ESP used Spotfire’s web player to create a dynamic platform, where subscribing members can individually validate and analyze the constantly updated data streams based on the report. These visualizations are often complexly formatted for proper analytical evaluation of Best Practices in a multitude of disciplines and Best Raw Acreage from an oil and gas producing point of view. This combination creates a new approach for delivering non-static and evolving analytics and supporting information to customers to support their decision processes. The demo will include how we used Spotfire, combined with DrillingInfo’s unique dataset and in-house domain knowledge to develop our business intelligence tool for the Barnett Shale and in turn, how users enhance the value of the tool through their own interactions with Spotfire.
	*“Extending WellView - Using Data to Drive Performance”* Kimm Cashiola, Senior Drilling Tech, Hess Corporation In 2008 Hess began using Spotfire to connect to our Data Warehouse piece of WellView. This warehouse includes all of our WellView data in its calculated form. Spotfire allows us to easily utilize the graphic functionality to quickly analyze trends across various types of data. Previously we used many different reports using Pivot Tables within Excel which intimidated many users that were unfamiliar with this functionality. Spotfire has simplified our reporting functions and allows for ease of use for all disciplines that need access to our data. In addition, we are able to add in our own calculations using our existing data from WellView.
	*"HighMount Production Analysis Tool"* John T. Argo, Senior Drilling Engineer, Highmount Exploration & Production LLC *Download The Presentation PDF Here!* Optimizing production on over 6500 wells in the Sonora Gas Field is quite a task and was the motivation behind utilizing Spotfire to develop HighMount's Production Analysis Tool. This tool helps identify and localize production issues as well as tracks the impact of completed and ongoing projects. Currently the tool is aiding to recover lost production due to downtime and well loading. It also updates the impact of new drills versus base gas, recompletions, pumping unit installs, and other special projects. Although the Production Analysis Tool is still in its infancy, it has the potential to increase well optimization in Sonora while decreasing the time associated with managing the field.
	*"Using Spotfire to work smarter, not harder, in challenging Times."* Connie R. Mitchell, CTO/Corp Secretary, Rimrock Energy, LLC The world economy has presented us with tough challenges, we are constantly being asked to do more with less. The pressure to shrink our staff causes us all to take on more work. We have to find more efficient ways to accomplish this more work without working more. Spotfire is an excellent answer to solving this problem. Simple tasks of evaluating data from massive stores of records can take man-hours we don’t have now. Spotfire can simplify the task down to a fraction of the time. Rimrock is using Spotfire linked to Excalibur Land/Lease records and Accounting records for just this purpose. The learning curve for the user is minimal so it is embraced immediately.
	"Energizing Operations with Analytics" Cameron Williams, Director of IT, Severstal Columbus *Download The Presentation PDF Here!* OAO Severstal is among the top 15 steel manufacturers in the world, supplying the Automotive, Oil & Gas, Construction industry and others. Due to the commodity nature of our products, our business is especially impacted by the prevailing economic conditions. In the current down turn, we are being asked improve the efficiency of operations everywhere in our business, and to do so with fewer resources. We believe a common analytic platform is key to accomplishing this goal; because, not only can analytic applications improve operational decision making, a shared analytic platform can reduce our reliance on specialty applications. In this presentation, we will describe how we use analytics, and the value it brings to manufacturing production, product sales effectiveness, financial analytics and other cases.
	"Optimizing Oil Exploration through Comprehensive Data Management" Donnie Atkins, Principal Solutions Consultant, TIBCO *Download The Presentation PDF Here!* Efficient oil exploration and production demands access to and analysis of large amounts of information about wells and other assets in real-time. Taking a unique approach to Master Data Management, TIBCO Software has successfully helped Energy customers build a single view of well header information that allows them to aggregate, maintain and share well header data in a cost-effective way. In this session, you will hear Best Practices for: State-of-the industry overview, including competive landscapes and business drivers How to build an information management solution to support efficient exploration and operations How to gain a single view of exploration data and diverse applications using Master Data Management Solutions
	"Enterprise Optimization: --Driving effectiveness and efficiency at the intersection of Analytics, CEP and BPM" Brad Hopper , Sr. Director, Industry Solutions, TIBCO Spotfire *Download The Presentation PDF Here!* Many have asked: Why TIBCO? Why Spotfire? We would like to present the vision of how analytics from Spotfire adds value to TIBCO real-time architectures and why that might be relevant to your organization.
