2021 Cambridge Energy Week online conference, Saudi Aramco President and CEO Amin Nasser said the outbreak has accelerated Saudi Aramco's plans to digitize its operations and deploy and leverage the Internet of Things and big data.
SchlumbergerCEO Olivier Lepek believes that digitalization is the best platform to help enterprises reduce costs and improve efficiency.
ChevronCEO Michael Voss said the outbreak has accelerated the company's digitization process (including remote work, digital drilling, use of drones, etc.), and this trend will have a positive and lasting impact.
December 2020, Saudi Aramco announced a strategic alliance with SAP Saudi Arabia to expand the digitization of its ERP system, paving the way for further integration of new technologies. SAP's new platform will serve the entire Saudi Aramco organization, support Saudi Aramco's digital transformation initiatives, and enable new processes for most of Saudi Aramco's enterprise applications and solutions.
On January 19, 2021, Saudi Aramco and Saudi Telecom announced the launch of Dammam 7, one of the ten most powerful new supercomputers in the world, with a peak computing power of 554 million billion times, to process and image the world's largest geophysical data sets.
Saudi Aramco said that the supercomputer will transcend traditional exploration and production boundaries through cutting-edge technology, and advanced imaging and deep learning algorithms will enable it to run very precise three-dimensional earth models, thereby improving the company's ability to find and recover oil and gas, while reducing exploration and development risks. It will further strengthen exploration and development decisions for regular and unconventional hydrocarbon resources and guide future investment in production and resource allocation.
fromSince September 2009, Nanjing China Map and SABIC have established contact. In order to reach cooperation, China Map has been working hard and won the bid for two factory system implementation projects under China Map in 2014 and one factory system implementation and data processing project in 2018, all of which are digital delivery and application projects, and the delivery results have been highly affirmed by SABIC.
on this basis,SABIC launched the Alliance framework service plan in 2018. China Map was invited to participate. After more than a year of communication, clarification, and negotiation, the two parties finally reached an agreement on November 28 and signed an agreement to confirm the cooperative relationship. The Alliance framework agreement signed this time will start in 2020 and will last for five years.
