Chinese giant Huawei has launched intelligent architecture and intelligent E&P (exploration and production) technology for the oil and gas industry.

The intelligent architecture for oil and gas is made up of six intelligent segments. Each segment involves hierarchical decoupling. The architecture is compatible with mainstream third-party frameworks and can interconnect with existing or newly built third-party platforms and data lakes.

Based on large models, users can take a differentiated approach to emerging intelligent needs. The unified intelligent architecture builds on what the industry, partners and Huawei have to offer, and can adapt to different business models.

Huawei’s intelligent E&P integrates high-performance computing, massive data storage, AI exploration models, and collaborative scheduling of software and hardware resources. New technologies, such as storage, high-performance computing platforms, AI and cloud can help oil and gas enterprises achieve efficient and refined E&P research.

Huawei’s E&P storage uses stable, reliable, secure and high-performance devices. It meets the storage performance needs of seismic data processing, interpretation and reservoir numerical simulation, and can shorten routine processing time by 30%.

The E&P cloud implements centralised data management and sharing based on the cloud, which allows users to convert capex to opex. The maximum processing area can be expanded from 400 to 2000km², and the depth of the stratum that can be processed is increased from 5 to 8km, improving seismic processing and interpretation efficiency.

Huawei provides an AI platform that lends services to seismic data processing and interpretation, oil and gas reservoir identification by well logging, and pumping well condition diagnosis. The modelling period of seismic exploration and well logging interpretation can be shortened by 80%, and the accuracy of carbonate fracture and cavern prediction and well logging fluid identification can be boosted higher than 95%. This not only improves the efficiency of exploration and prediction, but also consolidates and passes on expert experience.

For future oil and gas development, Huawei says it will stick to its positioning, fully leverage its full-stack digital technology, be an intelligent bridge builder, and work with customers and partners to make AI tech pervasive.
