SOCAR and Uzbekneftegaz JSC have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to advance cooperation in applying artificial intelligence (AI) in the oil and gas industry. This cooperation will not only promote the adoption of innovative approaches in the energy sector but also further strengthen the economic collaboration and technological partnership between the two countries.
Under the agreement, SOCAR will provide AI solutions, share expertise, and offer consulting services on digital transformation, production efficiency improvement, and IT systems. The MoU also foresees the exchange of experts and experience between the two companies.
The parties plan to develop AI-based projects such as optimizing blending parameters to increase diesel fuel production, a Large Language Model (LLM) to support operational teams, and solutions like Seismic AI and ENOM to automate the analysis of geological and energy data. SOCAR will also advise on creating a unified data architecture to integrate all business processes and fully digitize and visualize seismic and drilling data through the ODLAR and Daily Drilling projects.
This MoU will accelerate the adoption of AI technologies in the oil and gas sector, promote innovative approaches in the energy industry, and strengthen the economic and technological partnership between Azerbaijan and Uzbekistan.
