Driving High-Performance Operations: Performance Testing for an Integrated Oil & Gas Management Platform

The client is a leading energy enterprise offering end-to-end digital solutions across the oil and gas value chain—from exploration and drilling to production, distribution, and financial management. Their integrated application is used by geologists, drilling engineers, production managers, and analysts to monitor, analyze, and control mission-critical operations. With increasing data volumes from IoT-enabled equipment and expanding exploration activities, platform performance, and real-time data processing were paramount.

The platform needed to manage large volumes of operational and financial data, real-time sensor inputs, and heavy multi-user analytics across geographically distributed teams. Performance slowdowns during seismic data uploads, real-time drilling updates, or large-scale analytics could lead to delayed decisions, increased downtime, and revenue loss. Performance testing was essential to ensure platform scalability, responsiveness, and reliability during high-stakes energy operations.

Evoke implemented a comprehensive performance engineering approach, focusing on real-time data integrity, multi-system integration, and operational scalability:

• Verified performance during peak exploration and production cycles
• Tested platform resilience
• Verified seamless integration in the system, ensured no performance drops during inter-system communications
• Ensured consistent functionality across web, desktop, and mobile platforms

The performance testing initiative significantly improved the system’s ability to manage complex oil and gas operations efficiently and reliably:

• Scalability: Successfully supported 50,000+ concurrent users, ensuring robust platform behaviour during exploration surges
• Faster Data Processing: Achieved sub-second latency in sensor data updates and dashboard refreshes
• Data Accuracy: Enabled 99.9% synchronization accuracy across SCADA, ERP, and user-facing modules
• System Stability: Optimized server configuration and query logic eliminated failures during prolonged usage
• Mobile Optimization: Reduced mobile load times by 35%, enhancing usability for field personnel
• Operational Insight: Enhanced data processing capabilities empowered faster, more accurate decisions around drilling performance and asset health
