PETRONAS, through Malaysia Petroleum Management (MPM), has signed two Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs), to advance technology and operational efficiency in Malaysia’s Exploration and Production (E&P) sector.
The first MoU, signed with Schlumberger WTA (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd (SLB) focuses on enhancing technical capabilities in artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML) and generative AI technologies. This partnership aims to integrate cutting-edge, AI-driven solutions into MPM’s data platform, revolutionising the management and interpretation of subsurface data. The collaboration will support Malaysia’s offshore operations, delivering enhanced value to emerging Petroleum Arrangement Contractors (PACs).
The second MoU, with Velesto Drilling Sdn Bhd (Velesto) and NOV Inc (NOV), establishes a framework to deploy NOV’s drilling automation system and robotics technology on Velesto-operated rigs. This collaboration seeks to optimise drilling operations in Malaysia by improving operational efficiency, lowering costs and supporting PETRONAS' sustainability initiatives. Additionally, the partnership aims to drive technology adoption, promoting innovative solutions across Malaysia's upstream sector.
PETRONAS remains committed to ensuring a secure and sustainable supply of oil and gas for Malaysia’s energy needs, while actively advancing low-carbon and low-emission operations to achieve net zero emission by 2050.
