Hire a Power BI consultant in Houston.
Energy operations generate enough volume that BI often is the right answer, unlike many of the markets we work in. The question is whether anyone will own the data model afterwards, because an unmaintained semantic layer decays faster than a spreadsheet does.

Why Houston specifically
Where this work comes from.
Clients for this are typically in Downtown Houston, the Energy Corridor, Sugar Land and the Port of Houston area, across upstream and midstream energy, oilfield services, petrochemicals, industrial construction, and the Texas Medical Center's supplier network. AFE tracking, well economics and field data that arrives in twelve formats.
For the wider picture of what we see in this market — the recurring problems, the source systems, how the time difference plays out — the Houston guide covers it properly rather than repeating it on every service page.

Questions
Power BI consultant in Houston — questions.
Answers for this service in this market, including the ones that might cost us the job.
Ask us something elseWe have years of production data. Is Excel still viable?
For analysis and scenario work, yes. For recurring aggregation across years of daily records, no — that belongs in a database with BI on top. Most Houston clients we see have this split backwards, running heavy aggregation in Excel and scenario work nowhere.
Should we move off Excel entirely?
Almost never entirely. Excel remains the best tool for scenario work, ad-hoc analysis and anything a human needs to interrogate directly. The realistic outcome is BI for standardised recurring reporting and Excel for everything requiring judgement.
Can you handle daily drilling report data?
Yes. The usual work is building an import layer that copes with each operator's export format and produces one consistent dataset, then reporting on top of that. The import layer is where the actual difficulty lives.
