Eigen Analytics Platform
Get your digital projects delivering value faster
Maximising value from your existing systems investment
Oil and gas operators have invested so much in digital technologies but they often aren’t maximising value because so much data and knowledge is in siloes, is disconnected, and relies on manual intervention to turn data into value-generating actions.
It’s tempting to migrate everything into a cloud data lake or on to a new platform, but that creates different challenges as you move the information that informs your decision-making even further from its source and context.
The Eigen Analytics Platform is a different approach that recognises the investment you’ve made and helps you extract more value from what you have – so it’s cheaper, much easier to deploy and much faster to deliver value.

We think of it as a platform, but the Eigen Analytics Platform is really a layer that sits on top of your existing functional systems and data sources and enables the delivery of integrated analytics and business logic across system siloes.
With alerting, data transformation, event detection and propagation, automated reporting and visualisation, it can quickly start delivering cost-savings and adding value by putting you in control – without the manual intervention overheads.

What does the Eigen Analytics Platform do?
Connects up your existing systems and data
The Eigen Analytics Platform connects to over forty oil and gas data sources you already use, enabling you to build automated reports or perform calculations on the fly. It’s simply a way of connecting up your world around what you need.
Read how we used the Eigen Analytics Platform to help a client estimate chemical flow rates for a more accurate chemical dosage outcome.
The Eigen Analytics Platform enables you to build new workflows using your existing systems, like process data from historians and new cloud-based data sources, ERP databases and even precious data locked up in Excel. Delivering tangible digital transformation without the price tag, without the time lag, without the risk.
Delivers high impact, low cost and fast digital transformation
Builds knowledge through context applied to data
The Eigen Analytics Platform helps you leverage your knowledge by bringing context to data. Knowledge graph technology is built into the Eigen Analytics Platform, enabling you to not only surface more context with your data, but build a foundation to increase and share your knowledge – for both human and computer application.
Read how we used the Eigen Analytics Platform to help a client automate blowdown verification by making a small change to their existing knowledge graph asset model and building a low-code application on top of the Eigen Analytics Platform.

Five ways to leverage the power of the Eigen Analytics Platform
6.6% improvement in Efficiency through quick access to information
Challenge
Finding the necessary information to do a task was time consuming because the information is spread across multiple systems, such as a master Equipment Database, Document Management System, data Historian, Maintenance Management System etc.
Solution
By creating a data model that links (or contextualises) the information for an asset in Neo4j and combing it with a powerful search tool such as Elastic, users are able to use free text or more specific searches to find the information they need.
Impact
Using the combination of Search and the Data Model, users are able to find and work with information much faster. On average it is estimated as saving 30mins per user per day, or 1/16th of the working hours in the day – 6.6%.

Automated Blowdown Verification
Challenge
Manual analysis of the depressurisation of >fifty different sections of piping and equipment in a facility after plant shutdown to a senior engineer a week of effort. It involved going into multiple systems to find the right data and manually importing it into spreadsheets.
Solution
Using our Ingenuity platform, we extended the existing data model of the facility with new objects for the blowdown segments and associated equipment and connected this to the systems holding the source data, adding dashboards for visualisation.
Impact
Now blowdown analysis runs automatically after any plant shutdowns, saving a week of a senior engineer’s time and providing improved management information.

Infinite possibilities thanks to graph database technology
Challenge
Coming up with a data model (schema) that is fit for every future use case is impossible. The rigid structures of relational databases make it difficult to change the schema later on so it becomes hard to move quickly to digitise operations. Lengthy business analysis phases are then followed by lengthy contextualisation processes were the data in ingested into a data lake before the user functionality can be delivered.
Solution
Graph databases such as Neo4j work completely differently and allow information to be linked together just like a person would draw things on a white board. New information and relationships can be continuously added without affecting what has gone before.
Impact
The data model at the heart of Eigen Ingenuity allows infinite possibilities for linking and modelling data and information. Structures can be imported from spreadsheets and the model can be evolved over time allowing you to take a step-by-step approach to building your Digital Twin.
