据离岸工程6月25日报道称，意大利超级石油巨头埃尼集团和美国信息技术巨头IBM公布了使用人工智能（AI）进行多年合作的首次成果，推出了一个新的研究平台，以支持埃尼在勘探阶段初期的决策，减少地质复杂性相关的勘探风险。

“认知发现” 研究工具的工作方式类似于增强智能助手，可以在处理大量地质、物理和地球化学数据时提供更真实、更精确的地基地质模型表示。

埃尼将这些数据集处理成知识图，这些知识图使用AI来向地理科学家分析并提供相关信息，这将有助于他们在日常工作中进行决策，以及对可能的备选方案进行识别和验证。

作为埃尼数字化转型过程的一部分，AI技术的引入对地质和地球物理分析等勘探领域具有重要的推动作用。新的研究平台将促进新的应用程序，并使埃尼能够分析大量结构化或非结构化数据，这些数据可以是数字的、逻辑的或两者的组合。

Eni, IBM Use AI to Boost Data Analysis

Italian supermajor Eni and American information technology giant IBM have revealed the first results of a multiyear collaboration using artificial intelligence (AI) by launching a new research platform to support Eni's decision-making during the initial stages of exploration phase, in order to reduce the exploration risks linked to geological complexity.

The research tool Cognitive Discovery works like an augmented intelligence assistant providing a more realistic and precise representation of the geological model of the subsoil while processing large amounts of geological, physical and geochemical data.

These data sets are processed by Eni into knowledge graphs which use AI to contextualize and present relevant information to geoscientists which will help them in their everyday work as well as improve decision making and the identification and verification of possible alternative scenarios.

As part of Eni’s digital transformation process, the introduction of AI techniques represents an important boost to areas of exploration such as geological and geophysical analysis. The new research platform will facilitate new applications and enable Eni to analyze a huge amount of structured or unstructured data that can be numerical, logical or a combination of the two.
