(WO) — PETRONAS Carigali has expanded its TriCipta AI initiative through a new joint development agreement with Tridiagonal.ai and IBM Malaysia aimed at advancing artificial intelligence applications for upstream operations.
The collaboration marks the third joint development agreement under PETRONAS Carigali’s TriCipta AI program, which brings together engineering and AI technology providers to develop operational solutions across the upstream value chain.
Under the agreement, Tridiagonal.ai will contribute engineering domain expertise, physics-informed AI models and decision intelligence capabilities to support surface equipment optimization, production performance, maintenance reliability and asset integrity workflows.
According to the companies, the initiative is designed to combine operational data with engineering context to improve decision-making for critical upstream assets.
“We are honored to join PETRONAS Carigali and IBM in this third JDA to advance PETRONAS Carigali’s TriCipta AI,” said Pravin Jain, CEO of Tridiagonal.ai. “For upstream operations, value will come from AI that understands equipment behavior, operating constraints, reliability risk, integrity context and production trade-offs.”
PETRONAS Carigali said the TriCipta AI program is intended to accelerate the development and deployment of artificial intelligence solutions across its upstream business by combining technical domain expertise with advanced AI technologies.
