Weatherford Industrial Intelligence digital portfolio launched

Weatherford has launched Weatherford Industrial Intelligence at the company’s flagship FWRD 2025 Technology Conference in Houston

Weatherford Industrial Intelligence contextualises the physical world through physics-based and data-driven software. This delivers actionable insights for every end user, from engineers to executives, resulting in greater reliability, improved efficiency, and enhanced performance across the energy value chain.

The new portfolio sees the integration of Modern Edge, which enables customers to modernise their edge operations and facilitate autonomous production, with the flexibility to expand operations, while optimising resource usage and reducing costs. It features:
• Weatherford Autonomous Surveillance Platform (WASP) – Provides full-time remote visibility above, below, and on-surface infrastructure and assets using a network of distributed fibre optic systems, cameras, and IoT devices.
• R2TUs Edge Device Family – Family of Edge Devices with embedded physics and empirical models, as well as network models that are self-connected and powered to deliver closed-loop automation in the field.
• MetaFlow Virtual Flow Meter (VFM) – Delivers accurate, real-time flow measurements using AI and physics-based models in conjunction with existing and new flow meters.

Unified data model

Weatherford is also advancing its own unified data model through its Synsera Unified Data Model, which integrates multi-asset, multigeneration asset metadata across operations into a structure of the customers’ choosing. By combining operational and financial analysis into an API-supported framework, the platform enables smarter decision-making and streamlined workflows across facilities.

In addition, the WFRD Software Launchpad gives customers a single, comprehensive industrial SaaS platform to manage all of their software needs, providing a secure and centralised point of access for all Weatherford and partner-built applications while also giving customers the ability to publish their own applications to be consumed across the enterprise.

Girish Saligram, president and chief executive officer of Weatherford, commented, “Weatherford Industrial Intelligence empowers our customers to accelerate adoption, regardless of infrastructure maturity, by integrating our software, our partners’ software, and our customers’ systems with any hardware. With domain intelligence embedded at the edge and grounded in decades of engineering expertise, we deliver automation that drives safer operations, greater efficiency, and stronger returns.”
