In brief
Two companies invest over 100 million euros to develop AI models that analyze decades of geoscience data for better reservoir discovery. Major energy companies are now partnering with AI specialists to process massive datasets and improve decision-making in oil and gas exploration. Originally reported by Yahoo Finance.
TotalEnergies partners with Mistral on AI
The French oil giant and AI company Mistral signed a three-year deal to develop AI models for oil and gas exploration and engineering.
Investment exceeds 100 million euros
The joint programme requires more than €100m to improve how TotalEnergies integrates, processes and interprets large volumes of geoscientific data.
Combining a century of expertise
The partnership merges TotalEnergies' subsurface geoscience knowledge and reservoir engineering with Mistral's AI capabilities to create next-generation exploration tools.
“By combining a century of geoscience data, the expertise of our teams and Mistral's capabilities, we aim to develop a new generation of tools.”
Processing ten petaflops of data
The companies will use agentic AI techniques to analyze up to ten petaflops of data alongside nearly a century of TotalEnergies' accumulated geoscience knowledge.
Creating multiple exploration scenarios
The AI models will generate multiple development scenarios for exploration opportunities and help optimize or extend the life of existing oil and gas projects.
Building a shared scientific lab
TotalEnergies and Mistral will establish a shared laboratory combining TotalEnergies' subsurface specialists with Mistral's scientific and technical expertise.
