Malaysia – Petronas, a global energy company in Malaysia, has recently announced that it has collaborated with oil and gas firm Earth Science Analytics and Amazon Web Services, an IT services and consulting firm. This partnership is designed to advance the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies in the country’s oil and gas sector.
Aside from the said goal, the initiative further seeks to enhance exploration activities in the Malay Basin and strengthen the data capabilities of Petronas’ myPROdata platform.
According to the firm, their recent alliance with ESA will focus on creating subsurface workflows powered by artificial intelligence, along with the use of ESA’s EarthNET platform and Petronas myPROdata.
