Accenture to assist Statoil’s digitalisation initiative

Under the terms of the agreement, Accenture will work closely with Statoil to help the company realise its ambitions to implement its recently defined digital roadmap for operations across six key programmes: digital safety, security and sustainability; subsurface analytics; next-generation well delivery; the field of the future; data-driven operations; and process digitalisation and insight.

Specifically, through its Applied Intelligence business, Accenture will provide Statoil with global end-to-end support in data science; robotic process automation, artificial intelligence and cognitive computing; and design thinking and innovation. This will involve the application of key enabling technologies and services, including advanced analytics, as well as robotics, remotely controlled solutions and digital work processes.

Accenture’s work for Statoil will be coordinated by Statoil’s Digital Centre of Excellence, which manages digitalisation efforts across the company.

“We look forward to supporting Statoil on its digitalisation journey, enabling safer and more effective operations with improved decision-making, new value creation and enhanced efficiency,” said Gunnar Presthus, Accenture’s Energy Industry Lead in the Nordics and Statoil client account lead. “This will build on Accenture’s successful delivery of digital services for Statoil in both North America and Norway.”

Accenture will deliver the services to Statoil’s locations in Norway, North America and other markets leveraging its global delivery network.
