French hydrocarbon giant TotalEnergies announced on Tuesday a three-year partnership with French artificial intelligence company Mistral, representing an investment of over 100 million euros. This partnership aims to "develop a new generation of frontier artificial intelligence models to support TotalEnergies' geosciences experts in the exploration, characterization, and development of oil and gas reservoirs," TotalEnergies announced in a statement. The objective is "to generate multiple scenarios," both "for the development of exploration opportunities" and "for the optimization and extension of the lifespan of existing projects." TotalEnergies and Mistral specify that a joint scientific laboratory will be created. "Exploration and reservoir engineering are among the areas where artificial intelligence can create the most value for our activities," said Patrick Pouyanné, CEO of TotalEnergies, quoted in the statement. "By combining a century of geosciences data, the expertise of our teams, and Mistral's capabilities, we want to develop a new generation of tools capable of assisting our experts in analyzing the most complex data and in their decision-making," he detailed, adding that "this partnership also illustrates our desire to contribute to the development of a high-performing European digital ecosystem, serving our competitiveness." © 2026 AFP
