SLB has agreed a to long-term partnership with Aker BP to co-develop a digital platform driven by AI to deliver improvements in efficiency across the company’s E&P operations.

SLB and Aker BP plan on creating a unified data environment in the cloud on an integrated platform for subsurface workflows. The platform will use AI and domain expertise from SLB and Aker BP to glean insights on previously inaccessible data. 

“By co-developing AI-powered digital technologies, we will transform Aker BP’s subsurface workflows, accelerate planning cycles, increase production and reduce costs across their entire E&P life cycle,” said Rakesh Jaggi, president of digital and integration at SLB.

“The platform we develop with SLB is a key step in realizing our strategy to build the E&P company of the future and cement our position as a digital leader,” said Per Øyvind Seljebotn, senior vice president of exploration and reservoir development at Aker BP.  

In a similar partnership, SLB collaborated with Rockwell Automation, Sensia and Cognite in May 2023 to fundamentally transform floating production storage and offloading asset design, construction and operation using digital technologies.

That coalition aims to enhance operational visibility while reducing failures and downtime. The initiative highlights the industry's transition towards openness and collaboration to deliver operator value.
