In a commitment to continue to drive value through digital, Wintershall Dea has entered a four-year contract with Cognite on June 4 and will use its flagship Software as a service (SaaS) product Cognite Data Fusion (CDF), to scale digitalization solutions across assets.

Wintershall Dea leads the way by incorporating digital collaboration throughout its efforts and will deploy the Cognite SaaS and applications to an increasing number of assets long term.

Wintershall Dea will use CDF for data contextualization and AI enablement, connecting a number of data types together, from sensor data to maintenance logs to 3D drawings to address optimization and enable advanced visualizations.

Wintershall Dea will further build upon its digital portfolio through the utilization of a number of tools and Cognite business applications, to provide data insights and analytics empowering colleagues in the office and in the field. Low code capabilities will be used by Wintershall Dea employees enabling rapid development and scaling of their own applications, leveraging domain experts with liberated data.

“We strive to make smart investments through developing digital products and scaling them up to deliver the highest returns to our E&P business as measured by gains in safety, sustainability, operational and financial performance,” Hugo Dijkgraaf, Wintershall Dea’s CTO, said. “In order to scale a solution up and to replicate it across the company, a robust data architecture and foundation is a prerequisite. Based on the positive results and impact we had at our Mittelplate oil field, we are pleased to deepen our digitalization activities with Cognite to provide foundations to scale solutions across our assets.”
