SLB has partnered with Geminus AI to revolutionize the oil and gas industry through the deployment of the first physics-informed artificial intelligence (AI) model builder. This groundbreaking collaboration grants SLB exclusive access to the Geminus model builder, which combines physics-based approaches with process data to create highly accurate AI models for oil and gas operations. Unlike traditional AI methods, the Geminus model builder is faster, more cost-effective, and scalable.
Rakesh Jaggi, president of Digital and Integration at SLB, highlighted the significance of this investment and partnership: The investment made by SLB in its partnership with Geminus AI produces a step-change in operational performance for customers, from production pipelines to facilities. Geminus’ capability to fuse AI methods with physics-based simulation data will empower customers to quickly and easily create hybrid models of their operating assets that can be optimized in real time against numerous outcomes, such as opex reduction, increased productivity, and carbon emissions minimization.
The Geminus platform employs unique physics-informed AI computing to incorporate real-world constraints into digital models. By utilizing sparse data, the platform allows for easy updates with the infusion of new data points. Data scientists and modeling engineers can leverage this platform to predict complex system behaviors and make informed decisions in real time.
To showcase the power of this partnership, SLB implemented a Geminus hybrid AI-driven application that optimized economic performance while reducing carbon emissions at a natural gas plant. Leveraging data from SLB’s Symmetryâ„¢ process simulation software, the application, created by Geminus’ physics-informed AI solution, was developed within days and possessed the capability to evaluate 20,000 complex scenarios in under a tenth of a second. This user-friendly application enables operators to explore the impact of changing process settings on the plant’s carbon footprint and yield.
Beyond natural gas plants, the Geminus AI technology has also improved the efficiency of fluid catalytic crackers at oil refineries, as well as enhancing the performance of electric submersible pumps and industrial wellsite chokes.
This collaboration between SLB and Geminus AI marks a significant step forward in the oil and gas industry, as the integration of physics-informed AI models enables operators to optimize various operational aspects quickly and efficiently. With the ability to reduce costs, increase productivity, and minimize carbon emissions, this partnership promises transformative benefits for the industry.
By harnessing the power of AI and physics-based approaches, SLB and Geminus AI are paving the way for a more sustainable and optimized future in oil and gas operations. With the potential to revolutionize the industry’s approach to operational decision-making, this collaboration heralds a new era of efficiency and innovation.
