INTELLIGENT ENERGY
infrastructure and built-in computing capabilities to deliver
tightly integrated solutions across the energy value chain.
Areas of collaboration include: applying deep learning to
reservoir characterisation, modelling and simulation, building
domain-specific visualisation for mixed reality, creating
highly interactive applications and fuelling the digitalisation
of E&P assets.
As a first step in the alliance, Halliburton has made
DecisionSpace® 365 available on Azure, enabling real-time
data streaming from IoT edge devices in oilfields and the
ability to apply deep-learning models to optimise drilling and
production to lower costs for customers.
With the power of DecisionSpace® on Azure, big compute
and predictive deep-learning algorithms will help optimise
field assets and enable next-generation exploration and
deep-earth models by using software to fill gaps in sensor
data, while reducing the number of steps and time required to
render models.
“Halliburton is at the forefront of the digital transformation
occurring in the E&P industry,” said Nagaraj Srinivasan, senior
vice president of Landmark and Halliburton Digital Solutions.
“We believe open architecture and community-based
innovation are necessary to drive this fundamental change
and we’re proud to work closely with an industry leader like
Microsoft to deliver tailored E&P digital business solutions to
our customers across the globe.”
The breadth and depth of this collaboration will allow
the companies to apply voice and image recognition,
video processing and AR/Virtual Reality to create a digital
representation of a physical asset using Microsoft’s HoloLens
and Surface devices. Additionally, the companies will utilise
digital representation for oil wells and pumps at the IoT edge
using the Landmark Field Appliance and Azure Stack.
Microsoft Azure will also become Halliburton’s preferred public
cloud provider for iEnergy®, the oil and gas industry’s first
global E&P cloud linking the oilfield to the office. n
