With an aim to advance optimal and sustainable energy supply, PETRONAS, through Malaysia Petroleum Management (MPM), has signed several Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) at ADIPEC 2025.
In the spirit of global collaboration and technology driven innovation, the MoUs include partners such as SLB, Beicip-Franlab, ConocoPhillips, Eliis, PTTEP, Microsoft, Shell, and TotalEnergies. The partnerships will drive seismic imaging and artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) development enabled by high-performance computing (HPC).
Senior Vice President of MPM, Datuk Ir. Bacho Pilong, said, “Partnerships like these are essential in advancing Malaysia’s upstream landscape. By combining the strengths of energy operators and technology innovators we are not only strengthening our exploration and development capabilities but also setting the foundation for a more efficient and resilient Malaysia upstream sector."
The partners will work together to leverage dynamic modelling and agentic artificial intelligence (AI) for real-time data integration, uninterrupted predictive analysis, and proactive decision-making. With the deployment of Normally Unattended Facilities and Remote Autonomous Operations (NUF-RAO), partners can reap benefits right from subsurface evaluation to offshore facility optimisation.
These advancements will also support more efficient technical evaluations and investment decisions. These collaborations fit perfectly with MPM's managerial role in ensuring the best petroleum arrangements and drawing high-value upstream investments.
