Chesapeake Energy Creates Real-Time Data Applications for Mission-Critical KPIs

Dash Enterprise empowers remote contractors to access live drilling data and quickly respond to critical alerts.

With the functionality and flexibility of the Python-based Dash Enterprise platform, organizations are empowered to move past basic visualizations and meet their data analytics goals.

Originally paying for an application that was charging on a per rig per day basis, Chesapeake Energy needed visuals for live drilling metrics that presented tailored data. One important requirement was the ability to securely view metrics on a mobile device, since agents lacked computer access in the field.

Read this user story to learn how Dash Enterprise offered an in-house solution that accelerated report time-to-delivery from 16 to 4 weeks, as well as:

  • Helped prevent drilling setbacks, saving several million dollars per unplanned incident
  • Increased adoption of the drilling applications by 100%, as the development team built a tailored data representation for field agents
  • Facilitated dashboard sharing within six full applications and three 24/7 applications, creating a URL to access a saved state with Dash Snapshot Engine
  • Snowflake and SCADA systems were incorporated into Dash Enterprise as data sources

"One thing that brought us to Dash is the fact that there is no ceiling to what your visualizations can look like. When you look at the visuals we made with Plotly, you cannot build that with other vendors. We had a need to evolve our data visually, and we achieved that with Plotly.” -Wesley Priest, Data Engineering Specialist, Chesapeake Energy

"I am not from a developer background, and one thing I appreciated about Plotly was how easy it was to pick up and get started. The resources available were great and I was able to quickly build my first production application in less than 2-3 months.” -Jay Luna, SCADA specialist, Chesapeake Energy
