Geminus AI had announced a strategic partnership with Bapco Energies and SLB to deploy physics-native artificial intelligence for real-time, system-wide optimization of Bahrain's upstream production system. The collaboration supports Bahrain's national goals for energy efficiency, digital transformation, and sustainability, aligned with the Kingdom's Net-Zero by 2060 commitment. At the heart of the initiative is robust system optimization enabled by physics-informed AI (PiAI)?an advanced technology that blends the precision of physics-based models with the speed of machine learning (ML).

The partnership is applying this technology to unlock value across the entire energy system, from upstream through refining. In the initial use case, Geminus' technology was leveraged to build an AI model integrating SLB's Pipesim steady-state multiphase flow simulator with operational field data from Bapco's extensive network of wells and pipelines to deliver near-instant optimization across Bahrain's upstream infrastructure. This capability enables Bapco engineers and field operations teams to rapidly run "what-if" scenarios, optimize production across thousands of wells and kilometers of surface network, and perform full system-wide optimizations to identify optimal setpoints and make smarter, data-driven operational decisions in real time.

Together, Geminus AI, Bapco Energies, and SLB are advancing Bahrain's long-term energy strategy, ensuring more efficient use of resources this day while laying the foundation for advanced AI-enabled infrastructure in the years ahead.
