Digitalization
In the 21st century, data makes the world go round. The digital revolution shows how companies can use data to make better decisions – to collect, analyse and act on data in order to deliver projects sustainably and economically.
At Wintershall Dea, we invest in artificial intelligence, machine learning and big data analysis. We have changed the way we collect and manage data, tearing down silos and building systems that are accessible for our teams worldwide. And we are applying digital solutions that use data to deliver a sustainable performance improvement. In doing so, we work with leading industry partners to bring in new skillsets and challenge our existing way of doing things. The result is liberated data, empowered teams, creative thinking and better results.
Technology
Technology delivers. From the first exploration through the development phase to the very end of production. Our technology experts work with teams in the field to select and implement the right solutions for the task.
At the exploration stage, our teams use digital core analysis and 3D seismic surveys in the search for gas and oil.
While developing projects, we rely on our profound drilling expertise and our extensive knowledge of smart subsea project implementation.
We apply all of our experience to ensure that we produce efficiently, safely, and in an environmentally-friendly manner. From large-scale gas production in the Egyptian West Nile Delta to crude oil production in an ecologically sensitive area of the German Wadden Sea.
