LLM-powered text-to-sql agent

Page last modified
December 1 2025

This description is focused on Energy Components DB, but principles are universal and similar agent can be deployed on any other SQL, Oracle, Postgre DBs.

 

Asset teams spend hours manually extracting and cross-referencing data from the EC database. Requests to IT, exports to CSV, and analysis in Excel are the norm, diverting valuable engineering time from critical thinking and decision-making.

 

EC Retriever is an LLM-powered assistant which knows asset’s context, understands your natural-language questions and delivers answers directly from the production database in minutes.

 

EC Retriever Agent Can:

• Extract production and injection time series for any selected well, field or asset 

• Compare injection targets and actual rates and show underperformance periods 

• Identify and summarize deferment events, durations, and lost volumes 

• Retrieve well status history (OPEN / CLOSED / CLOSED_LT) 

 

Cluster Operations Lead

Field Supervisor calls: "Platform ABC oil rate dropped 15% since Friday - what's going on?" 

You need to check: Which wells dropped? Any status changes? Any deferments logged?

Production meeting in 2 hours: Leadership wants to know Q3 deferment impact across your asset 

You need to pull: Total deferred volumes by cause, by platform, by month

Planning team asks: "Can Well A-07 handle increased gas injection, or will it cause issues like last time?" 

You need to review: Historical injection vs. targets, production response after previous injection changes

 

Production Technologist 

You rely on PI ProcessBook and excel, but it can't answer deeper questions:

 

"Why is Field X underperforming this month vs. last month?"PI shows current rates, but you need historical comparisons across multiple wells and time periods.

"Which wells are consistently injecting below target, and what's the cumulative shortfall?"  - PI shows actuals but doesn’t have target rates to evaluate deviations over weeks/months.

"What was the production impact of that 5-day compressor shutdown in July?"PI doesn't correlate deferments with lost production volumes - you build that analysis manually.

 

Tangible Business Impact

-10x Faster Answers: Get responses to ad-hoc data questions in minutes, not hours or days.

-Boost Engineering Productivity: Reduce manual data tasks (exports, charting) by 30-50%, freeing up time for high-value engineering work.

-Data-Driven Decisions: Empower all team members-including non-SQL experts and planners-with immediate, accurate data access.

-Smarter Dashboards: By monitoring the most common queries, we can identify and automate recurring requests into standard production dashboards for everyone.

 

Deployment & Time-to-Value

3-4 weeks: Connecting agent to DB, depending on volume data and scope of preprocessing (cleaning) 

Pros & Limitations
1
can work on most of used database
1
enables users with noSQL skills to quickly retrieve required datasets
0
requires LLM connection (API or on-premise model)
Specification
Title Description
Theme/Discipline
Reservoir Engineering
Core Tech
AI & Advanced Analytics
Areas of Application
Any corporate database, where search is inherently difficult and non-user friendly. Described example is illustrating first deployment.
Continuous improvement
basic setup gives 70-80% accurate and relevant responses. As usage increase we collect user feedback and adjust configuration to increase accuracy on edge cases.
Used technology
Python + LLM connection. Can leverage Azure hosted models or on-premise models owned by the client. If on-premise deployment required, we can assist.
Scaleup options
Described agent can be supplemented with other Analyst agent, which can run analytics on retrieved data and build charts. This is more suitable for ad-hoc analysis and charts creation. If some analysis used often, we recommend migrating into regular dashboard (PowerBI, Trello, Spotfire etc)
Technology Readiness Level

The Technology Readiness Level (TRL) indicates the maturity level of novel technologies. Learn more about the TRL scale used by us.

We are engineers first, experimenters second, and marketers probably last. Throughout our careers in Operations, WRFM and Projects, we've faced the same real-world frustrations you're dealing with now.

Driven by curiosity, we used to explore new technologies, matching tools to practical problems and creating solutions from scratch. With the rise of Large Language Models (ChatGPT, Claude, Mistral etc.) we saw great potential to streamline workflows and simplify daily tasks.
