OSLO, Norway — Cognite has formed a long-term frame agreement with Equinor, in which the collaboration aims to expand Equinor’s data capabilities and further strengthen its digital program focused on global energy security and energy transition.
The objective for the Equinor and Cognite cooperation is to support Equinor in securing faster value capture from its digitalization program, using Cognite Data Fusion as a module in Equinor’s OMNIA data architecture. OMNIA is built on the Microsoft Azure cloud, and the Equinor and Cognite collaboration will progress the deployment of digital solutions on OMNIA.
The collaboration includes building a future-proof data architecture, new ways of working, and advancing industrial data extraction and contextualization. The agreement is an enterprise-wide extension of the collaboration Equinor and Cognite announced in December 2021.
"The digital vision of Equinor is to make data available anytime, anywhere; predict and prevent safety and security incidents, make work easier by using robots; connect minds and technology, and ensure safe and secure operations," Cognite stated in a press release.
Cognite is a provider of data contextualization technology and capabilities and will support Equinor’s digitalization ambitions within energy transition and security. Data contextualization enables the development of accessible data models and analytics, empowering employees to develop competitive insights and stress-test hypotheses on a continuous basis.
Cognite elaborated on the collaboration in a statement to Offshore magazine: "Cognite’s technology is used for a higher degree of sustainability, efficiency and productivity in offshore by providing better access to operational data in the field, enabling an improved data foundation for asset performance management and equipment health, and optimizing exploration workflows, like drilling operations. By using Cognite’s technology, Equinor will be better able to realize value from actionable insights, together with a reusable, flexible and future-proof data foundation."
