Baker Hughes, Repsol to develop AI-powered automation workflows

Baker Hughes and Repsol have signed a memorandum of understanding to develop and deploy artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities through the Leucipa automated field production software.

Baker Hughes said AI-powered automation workflows will be developed and implemented throughout Repsol’s worldwide assets to unlock new operational capabilities. "This collaboration will leverage the shared knowledge, best practices and technical expertise of both companies to optimize production, improve efficiency and reduce emissions," the news release stated.

Leucipa is designed to enable companies to operate more efficiently to recover more from their assets.

Repsol has utilized Leucipa across its operations since the introduction of the software, which was released by Baker Hughes and Amazon Web Services in January 2023. 

The Leucipa automated field production technology is designed to help oil and gas operators proactively manage production and reduce carbon emissions. Leucipa focuses first on the specific outcome an operator wants to achieve, harnessing and leveraging data to drive intelligent operations. By automating production processes, Baker Hughes says Leucipa is designed to reduce inefficiency, ensure more environmentally sound operations and enable users to help recover the millions of barrels that would have otherwise remained in the ground.
