Using the DecisionSpace 365, Diskos 2.0 will apply machine learning and artificial intelligence to unlock significant value of subsurface data by revealing additional basin, reservoir, drilling and production insights. Notably, this will enhance reservoir recovery and exploration outcomes.
On its part, the contract is in accordance with Halliburton’s digital strategy. Notably, the company’s safe cloud environment, machine learning algorithms, and data science expertise will help operators maximize their asset value.
