TotalEnergies and Mistral have announced a three-year partnership involving more than €100 million in investment. The program will focus on developing advanced AI models to help TotalEnergies’ geoscience experts explore, study, and develop oil and gas reservoirs more efficiently.
The partnership will use the latest AI technology, including agentic AI, to combine nearly 10 petaflops of data with almost 100 years of TotalEnergies’ knowledge and experience in geoscience and reservoir engineering.
The companies aim to develop advanced AI models that can process and understand large amounts of data. These models will help create different scenarios for exploring new oil and gas opportunities and improve existing projects.
TotalEnergies and Mistral will also create a joint scientific laboratory. The lab will bring together TotalEnergies’ expertise in subsurface technologies with Mistral’s AI research and technology to develop solutions designed for TotalEnergies’ specific business needs.
“Exploration and reservoir engineering are among the areas where artificial intelligence can create the greatest value for our activities. By combining a century of geoscience data, the expertise of our teams and Mistral’s capabilities, we aim to develop a new generation of tools capable of supporting our experts in analyzing the most complex data and in their decision-making. This partnership also illustrates our commitment to contributing to the development of a high-performing European digital ecosystem, supporting our competitiveness” said Patrick Pouyanné, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of TotalEnergies.
“We are delighted to take our collaboration with TotalEnergies to the next level. This project demonstrates the ability of our models to support complex industrial processes and adapt to the most demanding scientific and energy challenges. It also highlights the strength of Europe’s industrial ecosystem and the importance for large enterprises of adopting state-of-the-art, customizable AI solutions that protect and respect their intellectual property,” said Arthur Mensch, Co-founder and CEO of Mistral.
