Spotfire® for Loss Management in Oil & Gas

Cadeon implemented a comprehensive loss management analysis solution using Spotfire, helping an oil and gas operator standardize production loss reporting, improve data quality, and support executive decision-making.

Our Solution

Solution Summary

Oil and gas operators face increasing pressure from declining commodity prices, rising processing costs, and growing regulatory and policy requirements. Effective loss management analysis and reporting are critical to optimizing production, reducing risk, and improving asset performance.

Cadeon implemented a comprehensive Loss Management Analysis solution using Spotfire to provide accurate visibility into production potential, actual production, and loss measures across reservoirs, wells, pads, and surface facilities. The solution replaced labour-intensive reporting processes and delivered consistent, reliable insights for production teams and executives.

Integrated reporting of production, losses, and financial KPIs

Standardized business rules across facilities and teams

Interactive dashboards for executive and engineering use

Improved capture and categorization of loss events

The Challenge

Business Problem

Production and loss data were captured across fragmented systems, making integration and analysis difficult.

Inconsistent business rules and interpretation led to unreliable financial KPIs such as value lost.

Existing loss management reports required intensive manual effort to generate and maintain.

Executives and production teams lacked timely, integrated insights to support weekly operational decision-making.

Finding Success

Proven Solution

Cadeon implemented a comprehensive Loss Management Analysis tool designed to standardize loss capture, improve data quality, and automate reporting. The initial objective was to replace an existing reporting process that required significant manual effort while enabling reliable roll-ups for summary reporting.

During the analysis phase, Cadeon identified inconsistencies in conversion factors and calculation rules across facilities, particularly for financial KPIs such as value lost. These issues were addressed alongside process improvements that enabled loss events to be captured in greater detail and with more accurate categorization.

01

Integrated Loss Management Framework

An integrated solution was implemented to report maximum production potential, actual production, and losses across reservoirs, wells, pads, and surface facilities.

02

Standardized Business Rules and Calculations

Conversion factors and calculation logic were reviewed and standardized to ensure consistent interpretation of production and financial KPIs across facilities and teams.

03

Enhanced Loss Event Capture

Processes were improved to capture loss events at more detailed levels, including well and pad-level reporting, with clearer categorization of loss reasons.

04

Interactive Executive and Engineering Dashboards

Spotfire was used to create dynamic, interactive dashboards that provided a complete overview of production capabilities, actuals, planned and unplanned losses, financial KPIs, and top loss contributors.

05

Drill-Down Analysis and Data Quality Validation

The solution enabled production teams to drill into oil loss and steam event analyses for root cause investigation, supported by a data quality page to validate the accuracy of captured data.

Cadeon partnered with my business to build a data visualization that exceeded expectations!!!

Kelvin Shelton
Founder

We initially started working with Cadeon in the summer of 2017, at CREB®. Our first engagement was focused on a strategic dash boarding Proof of Concept, with some deeper analytical aspirations for the future. Our foray into this new area was met with encouragement and support; and we pulled the trigger on our first Spotfire licenses.

This was a great 2-day Spotfire Advanced Training course that has taken my competency and proficiency using the tool to new levels. I highly recommend this course for those who are already familiar with using the basic features of Spotfire and even those who are at an intermediate level.

Alex Renaud
Data Technician

Cadeon's entire staff has been a great supplement to my data analytics company's capabilities. I highly recommend them.

Mike Layton
CTO

I own a technology consulting firm in the US. For more than 10 years, Cadeon has provided excellent service, responsiveness and overall "do what they say they can do" commitments. Rarely do I feel Cadeon gets in over their head and always do they find the best path for additional solutions / partners to inject in the project at the right time!

Jeff Sanders
Founder

Cadeon supported the design and implementation of a new product for our database that leveraged services. This involved a lot of "new things" for our company. Fortunately our Cadeon team of Mark, Steve, Cristi and Greg not only got the job done, they also gave the patience and advice we really needed. I enjoy working with this group because I can just describe what I need and they can translate it into a project plan.

Catie Donohue
Chief Operations Officer

We have been involved with Cadeon for the Spotfire for few years and has been a huge help in the implementation of the tool in house as well as supporting us throughout the last few years and also very recently training many users in the Analyst version and our instructor Ryan Mross was awesome in showing the various features and hands on with all in the training. Thanks so much for all the support and guidance, especially from Mark and Dawn.

Sandeep Alexander
CTO

2022 marked the year when we finally introduced Spotfire to our corporate analytical reporting workbench. Cadeon's team played an absolutely essential role in guiding us, and fast-tracking development of in-house competency. Kudos!!

Marcel Preteau
CTO

We have relied on Cadeon implementing and supporting our Spotfire Production and Development environments as well as our training. It’s been a great working relationship with the Cadeon team depending on their expertise as we continue to grow our environment.

Mike Hartman
CTO

Really helpful. We have used Cadeon for Spotfire installs and updates which are particularly difficult. Even after decades of supporting this software we've run into issues. Recently after moving the spotfire database, for example, there was a small but significant change that held the process up. I was able to reach out (unplanned) and get it solved that afternoon with their help. This was huge. Business critical functions back online in no time.

J Fred Beck
CTO

Cadeon has been supporting our Spotfire development and training over the last 12 months. Cadeon has been very helpful in developing visualizations within Spotfire and TDV implementation. Cadeon will suggest licensing levels, train users and will even meet with clients virtually to review development progress. I would highly recommend using them as you begin your journey with Spotfire.

Jim Buck
CTO

Cadeon team helps our firm with the support and maintenance of Composite, which is a data virtualization software. The team is quite experienced and knowledgeable and is always available to help even in odd hours. We did a project to upgrade the software and the scope of the project was pretty complex. Cadeon helped us in the successful completion with their skills and perseverance. The team, Steve Dolha and Mark Perry is an absolute pleasure to work with.

Nabanita Sarkar
CTO

I worked with the Cadeon team in my previous job on a project to upgrade our Data Virtualization infrastructure. The one aspect of them that strikes me most is their tenacity and perseverance. They were a great help in bringing the project to a successful conclusion. They also worked indefatigably with us through countless iterations of configuration changes, testing, performance fine-tuning, etc.
