Microsoft and Halliburton today detailedplans for a strategic alliancewhich will help drive digital transformation across the oil and gas industry. Under the relationship, Microsoft’s leading cloud and digital services will be combined with Halliburton’s science, software, and services.

According to Microsoft, one of the steps in the alliance involves both companies “leveraging and optimizing Microsoft technologies in machine learning, augmented reality (AR), user interactions and Industrial Internet of Things, as well as Azure’s high-performant infrastructure and built-in computing capabilities.” The end result will “deliver tightly integrated solutions across the energy value chain.”

Here is what Microsoft is saying about the alliance:

Areas of collaboration include applying deep learning to reservoir characterization, modeling and simulation, building domain-specific visualization for mixed reality, creating highly interactive applications, and fueling the digitalization of E&P assets. As a first step in the alliance, Halliburton has made DecisionSpace 365 available on Azure, enabling real-time data streaming from IoT edge devices in oilfields and the ability to apply deep-learning models to optimize drilling and production to lower costs for customers.

Azure will also become Halliburton’s preferred public cloud provider for iEnergy as part of the partnership. Microsoft is also saying that with this partnership, both companies will be allowed to apply voice and image recognition, video processing and AR/Virtual Reality to create a digital representation of a physical asset using Microsoft’s HoloLens and Surface devices.

For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web.

Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they’re looking for.
