SLB has signed a partnership agreement with INEOS Energy, a global chemical and manufacturing company, for cooperation and innovation of subsurface technologies including artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities to help it drive operational performance for continued growth, new acquisitions, and Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS).

Under the agreement, INEOS Energy will integrate the SLB Delfi digital platform into its oil and gas operations, especially subsurface, wells, transport and monitoring. Delfi will seamlessly integrate into current assets and new acquisitions, a critical element of the company’s emissions-reducing CCS strategy for a sustainable low carbon future.

“This subsurface technology agreement is an important milestone for INEOS Energy supporting our continued organic growth plans,” said Abhi Kohok, Subsurface Director at INEOS Energy.  “We are excited to work closely with the SLB Performance Centre to build on their extensive subsurface technologies, the Delfi™ digital platform and advances in domain centric AI. Together, this integration will position INEOS to maximize recoverable reserves and realize its growth ambitions, all with a lower carbon footprint,” he added.

“The Performance Centre model of collaboration is another example of SLB leadership in oil and gas innovation,” said Wallace Pescarini, president of SLB’s Offshore Atlantic basin. “The Performance Centre is part of the SLB long-term strategy to produce lower carbon energy through collaboration and partnership models with our customers. We welcome INEOS and look forward to continued innovation,” he concluded.

The Delfi™ digital platform is a personalized exploration and production (E&P) workspace built on key premises using AI that makes it unique in SLB software portfolio. It harnesses data, scientific knowledge, and domain expertise to fundamentally change the way of working in every part of the E&P value chain.
