Travis Osborne, Vice President and Chief Information Officer at Apache Corporation, discussed the company's adoption of Palantir Foundry as its core "analytics operating system" in an October 2022 presentation. He described Apache's shift from tackling data projects on an "as possible" basis to a more focused approach aimed at achieving outcomes across business lines. Osborne said the company initially directed Foundry toward its operations side, citing the complexity and performance-driven nature of energy operations, and noted that the platform has been used to manage data from thousands of wells, including measuring and managing emissions. Osborne stated that the first year of using Foundry forced a "rapid maturation" of the organization's appetite for data solutions and fostered an open mindset within the IT team about future possibilities. He acknowledged challenges in the process, mentioning "lumps" and "scar tissue" among staff, but indicated that multiple years of use cases are queued up, pending resource approval.
