$2.9 Billion Upstream Acquisition Drives Seamless Quorum Data Integration for Top U.S. Natural Gas Producer

The Challenge

A publicly traded, Pittsburgh-based upstream production company, currently the largest natural gas producer in the U.S. with a lengthy history in the Appalachian Basin, engaged in a $2.9 billion entity acquisition of an upstream E&P company producing roughly 1 billion cubic feet equivalent (Bcfe) per day. The primary challenge was efficiently migrating the seller’s data into the buyer's existing hosted Quorum system without disrupting operations or delaying departmental close schedules. The client required an agile implementation approach to ensure rapid asset takeover and to minimize the need for incremental data loads during the transitional service agreement (TSA) period.  

Opportune was selected to lead this conversion due to our extensive system integration experience and deep energy expertise. Our professionals were uniquely qualified to handle the complex data cleansing and transformation that are integral to business process adoption between a buyer and seller during a major corporate purchase.  

The Solution

Opportune quickly deployed its team of experts to manage and execute a sprint-style approach to migrate all entity data into the target environment. We scrubbed the source data to eliminate legacy duplication and validated data element mapping against industry best practices and the client’s specific operational preferences. By working directly with the client’s business intelligence (BI) department and the seller’s live system, our team successfully implemented real-time data conversion scripts.  

This methodology facilitated the accurate and timely transformation of legacy data from the seller’s environment into the company's live Quorum system. Our strategic, team-based approach ensured the client received continuous support through system finalization, resolving complex integration needs from all angles to achieve a fully realized entity integration.
