Schlumberger expands AI innovation network with a new centre
This announcement by Schlumberger, technology and integrated project management supplier, marks the successful expansion of its INNOVATION FACTORI network. The technology company has now opened its new centre in Houston, Texas.
With this, Schlumberger will enable customers to accelerate the development and deployment of enterprise-scale artificial intelligence (AI) and digital solutions. Customers will be able to do this in the context of their unique business challenges, spanning exploration to production and new energy systems.
“At INNOVATION FACTORI, customer teams join with our domain and data science experts to address their strategic demands, such as fast-tracking of drilling automation, deployment of digital twins to optimize production, and modelling to achieve efficient carbon capture and storage,” said Rajeev Sonthalia, president, Digital and Integration at Schlumberger.
“Through INNOVATION FACTORI, customers can turn promising concepts into fully deployed digital solutions that extract maximum value from data to drive a major leap in business performance and, in turn, sustainability,” he continued.
