Wood has announced a partnership with Databricks to help energy companies turn AI investments into measurable operational and business outcomes across the full asset lifecycle. Building on several years of successful collaboration, the partnership combines Databricks’ market-leading Data + AI Platform with Wood’s engineering, operational and asset-domain expertise to help clients apply AI at scale to complex industrial challenges. The partnership brings together Databricks’ industry-leading data and AI capabilities with Wood’s deep understanding of how complex industrial assets are designed, delivered, operated and maintained, enabling clients to translate data-driven insights into practical operational and commercial outcomes. Together, the companies will help organisations improve decision-making, increase productivity and enhance project and operational performance across the asset lifecycle. By combining AI-driven insights with deep engineering expertise, organisations can uncover new opportunities, solve more complex challenges and make better-informed decisions, while automating routine activities and enabling specialists to focus on higher-value technical work.
“Technology alone doesn’t deliver outcomes. Real value comes from combining advanced AI capabilities with deep engineering and operational expertise. With Databricks, we’re helping clients apply AI to improve project execution, optimise asset performance and unlock measurable value across the asset lifecycle. This partnership will help clients move beyond AI experimentation and deploy practical, scalable solutions that drive productivity, support better decision-making and deliver tangible business results.”
– Dr David Cole FREng, Chief Operations Officer – Consulting at Wood
“Energy companies have no shortage of data or AI ambition, but too many projects stall because AI lacks the engineering and operational context needed to make decisions about real-world assets. Wood brings deep expertise in how complex industrial assets are designed, built, operated and maintained and the Databricks Data + AI Platform gives that knowledge a governed foundation to scale. Together, we’re helping customers move AI out of the pilot phase and into the everyday work that drives safer, more productive and more profitable operations.”
– Mustafa Ashraf, UAE Country Manager at Databricks
