SLB, a global technology company, announced a three-year agreement with Azule Energy, a joint venture of bp and Eni, to continue and expand the use of SLB's Delfi™ enterprise digital platform across Azule's operations in Angola. The platform will help Azule drive more consistent execution, accelerate decision-making, and support reliable energy delivery across its portfolio of complex energy assets.

Why it matters

The agreement reflects a move to enterprise-scale digital operations, which is crucial for Azule as it operates large, complex energy assets where execution reliability and consistency are paramount to sustaining performance and delivering energy reliably in Angola.

The details

The Delfi™ platform supports key workflows across Azule's reservoir and planning activities, with integration into broader operational data environments over time. It also positions Azule to rapidly adopt new digital and AI-enabled technologies as they emerge, enabling continuous performance improvement. Early deployments have already demonstrated impact, with integrated workflows, including DrillPlan™ coherent well planning and engineering solutions, cutting planning cycles from days to hours while increasing automation and minimizing manual coordination.

  • The three-year agreement was announced on March 31, 2026.
  • Azule has been using the Delfi™ platform within its reservoir organization for the past two years.
