The result
The dashboard turns a multi-step deliverable into a customer-facing diagnostic surface.
Workflow context and documented result
A tracer diagnostics provider for well completions rebuilt its customer deliverable on MorpheusOS. Turning a job’s recovery data into something a customer could actually use took two to four people, two to four separate files and systems, and one to two weeks — and the larger cost arrived after delivery, in explaining the same result again for every customer and every question. The deliverable is now an interactive dashboard generated from the same data: the customer opens their own wells, compares stages across pads, counties and basins, adjusts the offset-communication threshold, and generates the report on one click. The provider’s accumulated project data became searchable across jobs — an asset that can stand alongside production logs rather than a folder of finished work.

Eleven steps between a good result and a customer who understands it.
A job produced genuinely valuable tracer recovery data. Getting that value into a customer’s hands was a separate project every time, and it ran on people.
Assemble and visualise
Organise the raw or processed data, prepare the visualisations, and generate the plots — per job, per well, per pad.
Interpret, stage by stage
Read the stage-level results, then explain oil response, water response and total recovery in terms the customer’s own operation would recognise.
Show the movement
Time progression across stages, offset responses, and the potential interwell communication that follows from them.
Package it
Turn the findings into a customer deliverable — spreadsheet, plots, report — using templates that had to be adapted each time.
Then support it
Follow-up conversations, clarifications, and re-explanation whenever the customer wanted to look at a different stage or compare a different well.
Then sell from it
Convert the technical result into a commercial next step: the proposal, the next job, the follow-on scope.
Excel, PDF, email, internal data files, plotting tools, shared folders, reporting templates and customer communication channels — two to four people, one to two weeks, for one customer deliverable.
