U.S.-headquartered energy technology giant Baker Hughes has pooled resources with Spain’s energy giant Repsol to bring new artificial intelligence (AI) processes and workflows into play to unlock further improvements in the oil and gas production arena.

The duo struck a new deal to collaboratively create and deploy next-generation digital capabilities through the Leucipa automated field production solution. This is expected to enable AI-powered automation workflows to be developed and implemented throughout Repsol’s global assets to reach new operational improvement levels by optimizing production, bolstering efficiency, and reducing emissions.
