HOUSTON  Baker Hughes has signed a strategic collaboration agreement with Amazon Web Services Inc. (AWS) to develop, market and sell the cloud-based Leucipa automated field production technology.

The collaboration leverages AWS services such as advanced analytics and Baker Hughes' expertise in the oil and gas industry to create an automated field production tool designed to allow operators to manage field production. By automating field production, the Leucipa technology is designed to improve performance and energy efficiency, which will reduce emissions. Leucipa also minimizes health and safety exposure by reducing trips to the field.

The initial phase of the technology was released at the 2023 Baker Hughes Annual Meeting.

Leucipa provides oil and gas operators with a scalable, automated approach to increasing production, improving energy efficiency and reducing emissions, the companies said. 

“Through this collaboration, we will help transform oil and gas production operations by combining the domain expertise of Baker Hughes with the most comprehensive set of cloud services in the world from AWS,” said Howard Gefen, general manager, Energy & Utilities, AWS. “By enabling automated and proactive management of field production operations, the Leucipa automated field production solution will help operators extract maximum value from existing resources, while reducing operational downtime and enhancing overall well performance.”

Baker Hughes and AWS will continue to collaborate to add new capabilities to the Leucipa automated field production.
