Artificial Intelligence and Geoscience

Total and Google Join Forces to Develop AI Solution


04/25/2018 | Editor: Alexander Stark
Total and Google Cloud have signed
an agreement to jointly develop
artificial intelligence (AI) solutions
applied to subsurface data analysis
for oil and gas exploration and
production.

Paris/France — The agreement focuses


on the development of AI programs that
will make it possible to interpret
subsurface images, notably from seismic
studies (using Computer Vision
technology) and automate the analysis of
Total and Google join forces on AI project technical documents (using Natural

Language Processing technology). These
programs would allow Total’s geologists,
geophysicists, reservoir and geo-information engineers to explore and assess oil & gas
fields faster and more effectively, the company said in a statement. Under this
partnership, the oil company's geoscientists will work side-by-side with Google Cloud’s
machine learning experts within the same project team based in Google Cloud’s
Advanced Solutions Lab in California.

Marie-Noëlle Semeria, Senior Vice President, Group CTO at Total announced in a


statement that Total was convinced that applying artificial intelligence in the oil and gas
industry was a promising avenue to be explored for optimizing their performance,
particularly in subsurface data interpretation. This project builds on the strategy being
developed at Total, where AI is already used, for example, in predictive maintenance at
facilities.

Artificial Intelligence Applied to Exploration & Production


The French group started applying artificial intelligence to characterize oil & gas fields
using machine learning algorithms in the 1990s. In 2013, they used machine learning
algorithms to implement predictive maintenance for turbines, pumps and compressors
at its industrial facilities, thus generating savings of several hundred million dollars.
Today, teams are exploring multiple machine learning and deep learning applications
such as production profile forecasting, automated analysis of satellite images or
analysis of rock sample images.

Jean-Michel Lavergne, Senior Vice President, Strategy, Business Development, R&D


at Total Exploration & Production, explains in this video that the partnership aims to
use artificial intelligence to interpret subsoil data.
