SLB, Nvidia to partner in developing energy industry-specific AI solutions

SLB (NYSE:SLB) +2.1% pre-market Thursday after saying it is building on its collaboration with Nvidia to develop generative artificial intelligence solutions for the energy industry.

The companies said they will accelerate and scale the deployment of energy industry-specific AI foundation models across SLB’s (SLB) platforms to the specific needs of the data-intensive energy industry, including subsurface exploration, production operations and data management, by leveraging the Nvidia NeMo software platform to develop custom generative AI that can be run in the data center, in any cloud or at the edge.

“Custom models created by SLB leveraging Nvidia NeMo will provide the industry’s scientists and engineers unprecedented insight to speed their work in optimizing the energy supplies today and unlocking the clean energy innovations of tomorrow,” Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said.

SLB (SLB) and Nvidia’s collaboration began in 2008 with the use of graphics processing units or GPUs for subsurface imaging and geoscience interpretation.
