A Leading Upstream Energy Company Accelerates Exploration Insights with Agentic AI

For this leading upstream energy company, exploration and asset optimization relied on cumbersome workflows to find and retrieve relevant data. Subject matter experts had limited ability to query multiple sources directly, which created reliance on specialized analytics and geomatics skills.

The company needed a more accessible way for geoscientists and production technologists to work across structured and unstructured data, surface relevant insights faster, and reduce dependency on scarce specialist support.  

Hitachi Digital Services designed and deployed a cloud-based multi-agent system that helps users work across multiple data sources through natural language interaction. The system leverages structured and unstructured data and brings together integrated geospatial selection, visualization, and session memory management to create a more intuitive upstream workflow.

The solution also introduced automated benchmark evaluation so agents and prompts can be refined over time. 

Hitachi Digital Services’ company 47Lining supported the engagement with machine learning workflow expertise, DevOps and multi-cloud deployment experience, security best practices, front-end and back-end service development, and database integration.

The engagement has improved the company’s access to upstream data and has given technical experts a faster, more direct path to insight. The value is practical: less friction, stronger self-service, and a continuous improvement loop that keeps agent performance moving forward.

• Faster insights: Quicker access to integrated data sources for exploration and asset optimization. 

• Empowered experts: Geoscientists and production technologists can work without specialist support. 

• Continuous improvement: An evaluation loop allows agents and prompts to be refined over time. 

This leading energy company has been collaborating with Hitachi Digital Services since 2023.
