Baker Hughes and C3 AI Facilitate Petronas's Move Into Digital Transformation Programs

Baker Hughes, an American industrial service company operating around the globe and C3 AI (artificial intelligence), a leading enterprise AI software provider announced an AI collaboration with Petronas, Malaysia's global energy and solutions company, to apply joint Baker Hughes C3 AI (BHC3) technology across the company's strategic digital transformation programs.

As the custodian of Malaysia's national oil and gas resources, PETRONAS runs an extensive digital transformation program across energy operations to extract value from data. The adoption of AI as part of its overall program for improved oil and gas productivity, asset integrity, and safety supports PETRONAS’ commitment to provide clean, efficient energy solutions by harnessing the power of technology.

In particular, PETRONAS will work with energy technology, data science, and AI experts at Baker Hughes and C3 AI to collaborate on projects focused on improved reliability of energy assets in critical operations. Utilizing Microsoft Azure, PETRONAS will deploy the BHC3 Reliability application to further improve maintenance programs for gas turbines and in a separate project improve the reliability of control valves by detecting anomalous conditions, preventing downtime.

“PETRONAS addresses the energy demands of today by leveraging the power of digital as an accelerator, technology as a differentiator and data as an asset," said PETRONAS Project Delivery and Technology Senior Vice President Samsudin Miskon. “PETRONAS is committed to accelerated digital transformation that delivers productivity, efficiency, visibility, safety and performance. The predictive intelligence of AI is critical to meeting these needs, and this is only possible with AI that drives outcomes at pace and scale.”

“This program continues the strong relationship between Baker Hughes and PETRONAS to drive productivity and efficiency for cleaner, safer energy,” said Uwem Ukpong, executive vice president of regions, alliances & enterprise sales at Baker Hughes. “AI will play a critical role in digital transformation programs that bridge today’s demand for energy with tomorrow’s energy transition. We are thrilled to work with PETRONAS as it leads in digital transformation and deploys the full power of Enterprise AI.”
