OMV targets global efficiency increases with SLB AI and digital solutions

OMV set targets in early 2020 to deliver a 90% reduction in well planning time for production wells by the end of 2022 and a 75% reduction in the duration of the development phase of projects by 2025. It recognized that to achieve these targets, it would need to become a digital front runner in the energy industry. OMV’s digital transformation goals gained greater urgency with the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020—calling for better integration of its global asset teams while those teams are working from home

OMV selected SLB as its partner of choice and signed a 5-year digital collaboration contract for the global enterprise-wide deployment of AI and digital solutions in the cloud-based Delfi digital platform, following a successful pilot program

• OMV’s subsurface team used AI-integrated workflows to run 200 reservoir model realizations in around 6 hours instead of 23 hours.
• The well delivery team planned eight wells in the time they would normally take to plan one.
• The turnaround time of seismic interpretation to structural modeling workflows was reduced from 8 weeks to 10 days, a 75% improvement.

The long-term agreement will continue to drive collaboration and deliver comparable successes at an enterprise scale, enabling OMV to accelerate performance and transform efficiency to achieve its targets.
