Background: Energy companies are seeking methods to run engineering software in the cloud, especially those that need a significant amount of computing and storage resources in short periods of time to bring about simulation capacity instantaneously and reduce project turnaround (for example, Florida-based utility runs PROMOD, Siemens Simcenter customers run CFD, Ansys LS-DYNA customers run […]

Introduction The utilities sector provides essential services to our homes, businesses, and communities. As the world becomes increasingly digitized, electrified, and resource-constrained, the sector faces unprecedented challenges. Three key imperatives have emerged: Modernize and expand infrastructure: Utilities must invest in a sustainable infrastructure that meets growing demand while incorporating green energy sources, reducing waste, and […]

The transition to net-zero is driving unprecedented demand for the critical minerals needed in everything from electric vehicles to wind turbines. Meeting this surging demand is leading the mining industry to a technological revolution of its own – an electrification revolution. Traditionally, mining operations have relied heavily on diesel-powered trucks, excavators, and mobile machinery to […]

One of the main actors within the EV charging industry are Charging Point Operators (CPOs). CPOs are responsible for managing charging infrastructure availability and associated operational costs. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), the global number of installed public charging points was up 40% in 2023 relative to 2022, and growth for fast chargers […]

Introduction Industrial Asset Performance Management (APM) has experienced a significant transformation over the past three decades. Organizations are shifting away from rigid, time-based maintenance schedules toward predictive maintenance, which enables them to optimize cost, enhance performance, and mitigate risk by anticipating equipment failures before they occur. Today, energy companies are leading the adoption of new […]

The global demand for oil remains high as it powers transportation, industries, and electricity worldwide. One facet of the energy lifecycle is drilling, where drilling operators face numerous challenges in maintaining consistent oil supply to meet this demand. They must navigate harsh environments using heavy machinery with precision, while controlling costs and risks. Drilling operators […]

Background To deliver projects on time, global project teams of geoscientists, geomodellers, and reservoir engineers are working much faster than ever before, quite often asynchronously. However, these teams struggle to find, share, and access relevant seismic, well, and interpretation data currently held in data silos, and across disparate systems. Geoscientists need a better, data-centric way […]

This is a guest post cowritten with Matthew Mcelhaney, Ayush Rastogi, and Chuanyue Shen from bpx energy. bpx energy (bpx) operates bp’s US onshore portfolio. bpx operates in a highly competitive business environment and projects to grow production volumes 30 percent by 2025, relative to 2022 levels. Technology will enable this production increase and Generative […]

Iberdrola is a global leader in electricity generation, distribution, and commercialization, pioneering wind power and renewable energies. i-DE is Iberdrola’s entity responsible for the electric distribution grid in Spain and Portugal, accountable for millions of operational assets with a very heterogenous nature, which makes it challenging to have a live and consolidated view of each […]

In the field of reservoir simulation, accurate modeling is paramount for understanding and predicting the behavior of subsurface flow through geological formations. However, the complexities involved in creating, implementing, and optimizing these models often pose significant challenges, even for experienced professionals. Fortunately, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and large language models (LLMs) offers a […]
