Customer Story: Petropole
Unlocking Operational Agility in Energy with Cloud Modernization
Overview
Industry: Energy – Oil & Gas
Location: UK & MENA Region
Size: 200–500 Employees
Services Provided: Cloud Strategy, Infrastructure Modernization, Data Analytics
Cloud Platform: Google Cloud Platform (GCP)
The Challenge
Petropole, a fast-growing energy and oil exploration firm, was facing increasing challenges managing its on-premises data systems. Field data ingestion was inconsistent, real-time decision-making was limited by infrastructure latency, and collaboration between regional offices was fragmented.
To stay competitive and enable data-driven operations, Petropole needed to modernize their infrastructure, centralize their data assets, and adopt scalable analytics tools — without disrupting mission-critical operations in the field.
The Solution
Teleformation collaborated with Petropole to build a secure, resilient, and cloud-native foundation on Google Cloud Platform (GCP). The solution included:
- Cloud Landing Zone: Designed and deployed a compliant GCP environment with region-specific redundancy and access control policies
- Real-Time Data Ingestion: Architected a data pipeline to stream and process sensor and field data from remote drilling sites into cloud-based data lakes
- Modern Analytics Stack: Enabled analytics teams with scalable tools (e.g., BigQuery alternatives) for faster insights and predictive maintenance
- Infrastructure as Code: Introduced Terraform-based automation for rapid and consistent infrastructure provisioning
- Enhanced Collaboration: Integrated secure cloud-based workspaces and VPN connectivity across UK and MENA offices
The Outcome
✅ 50% Faster Field-to-Insight Pipeline: Remote data from drilling operations now available in near real-time
✅ High Availability Infrastructure: 99.99% uptime with multi-region failover and resilient backups
✅ Stronger Collaboration: Unified systems improved cross-region team productivity
✅ Governance-Ready: Cloud environment designed to meet compliance for energy sector standards
✅ Foundations for Growth: Platform now supports Petropole’s digital roadmap, including AI-based reservoir modeling
