TotalEnergies, a major energy company, has entered a new phase of its partnership with industrial artificial intelligence (AI) specialist Cognite, signing a three-year program to deploy Cognite’s data and AI platform across all its operated Exploration and Production (E&P) assets worldwide. The initiative aims to integrate the technology across the value chain, from drilling through to production, with the goal of improving efficiency, reliability, and sustainability.

The collaboration builds on years of work between the two companies, focused on making vast volumes of industrial data AI-ready. By streamlining access to this information, TotalEnergies expects to accelerate the adoption of new digital applications, improve safety and performance monitoring, and enhance decision-making across its operations.

The platform will enable more accurate and faster data analysis, dynamic visualization of assets, and the accelerated use of AI tools to strengthen operational excellence across TotalEnergies’ global upstream portfolio, according to company statements.

“This partnership with Cognite marks a new milestone in our digital transformation,” stated Namita Shah, President of OneTech at TotalEnergies. “By creating the data foundation which unifies our industrial data globally and makes it AI-ready, we are creating the conditions to accelerate AI-driven solutions that will significantly enhance the safety, operational and environmental performance of TotalEnergies.”

Cognite CEO Girish Rishi added that the collaboration is “built on a shared vision to scale the impact of Industrial AI,” equipping TotalEnergies’ teams to rapidly unlock insights and improve operational excellence across their global assets.

This deal follows TotalEnergies’ two-year agreement with Emerson’s Aspen Technology in July 2025 to deploy the AspenTech Inmation™ platform across its industrial sites, supporting broader digitalization and AI integration. The adoption of AI is increasingly critical in the oil and gas industry as companies strive to optimize complex operations, reduce costly downtime, enhance safety, and meet rising environmental and regulatory standards.
