Database modernization and process integration for oil & gas data management

Data Model Redesign

Report Generation

Project Overview

The Challenge

Petrotech was struggling with a massive, poorly designed database featuring 100 tables with 100 rows each, using cryptic four-letter acronyms for names. External processes were managed in scattered Excel files, and all printing was done through basic notepad outputs.

The Solution

I redesigned their entire data architecture into a clean 10-table model with 10 rows per table, using meaningful names. I integrated their Excel-based processes into the system and generated professional printouts, eliminating the need for crude notepad printing.
