Eni's digital transformation starts in Basilicata

Eni has chosen the Val d’Agri Oil Centre to become its first “Lighthouse”, a fully digitalised plant equipped with the most innovative technologies.

The Val d’Agri Oil Centre will be Eni's first digital plant in Italy

Ravenna, 27 March 2019 – Today, Eni presented its digital transformation plan at OMC 2019 in Ravenna. The plan outlines Eni’s intention to use digitalisation as an accelerator for the company’s integrated sustainable growth model, starting with the Val d’Agri Oil Centre (COVA). The use of sensors, the availability of a large amounts of data and the ability to process this in an extremely powerful way has enabled Eni to develop new technologies, principally those relating to Artificial Intelligence (AI). These technologies have enormous potential and can be used to support operational activities, bringing benefits in terms of security, asset integrity, environment and operational efficiency in particular.

Eni has chosen the Val d’Agri Oil Centre to become its first “Lighthouse”, a fully digitalised plant equipped with the most innovative technologies. Eni’s Viggiano Centre has been key to this journey. The facility has a considerable amount of data available and is one of the company’s most advanced and complete plants.

In order to build the Lighthouse, the site's operational staff have access to a "library" of tried and tested digital solutions and are responsible for selecting those that best meet the requirements of the specific site, demonstrating that there is always a skilled person at the heart of the digital transformation process.

A single control system (IOC-Integrated Operation Centre) provides access to all the information regarding the most relevant processes for the site, delivering operational signals which are generated by the digital solutions implemented at each facility.

The process to implement these digital solutions is supported by a major change management programme. These change management initiatives provide the necessary support for the site staff involved in the digital transformation process, helping to improve their skills and ensure new digital technologies are adopted effectively.

How does EnergIA work?

EnergIA (ener'dʒia) is a system based on Generative Artificial Intelligence. Thanks to this technology, we can respond to your requests by querying the most relevant content and documents available on eni.com. (Note: financial documents from the last 12 months and press releases from the last 2 years are considered.) Through EnergIA, you can delve into topics of interest and have a real-time window into the world of Eni.
If you wish to search for a specific document, press release or news, use the traditional search engine via the magnifying glass icon.

Like all systems that leverage Generative Artificial Intelligence, EnergIA may generate inaccurate or outdated responses. Always consult the sources that EnergIA proposes as the origin of the generated information.
If the system fails to find an exact match for the requested content, it still tends to provide a response.
If you find any inaccuracies in the provided response, please send us your feedback at the bottom of the page: it will be very helpful for us to improve.

Remember that the content generated by the system does not represent Eni’s official position. We therefore invite stakeholders to refer to their designated contacts for official statements: Press Office for journalists, Investor Relations for analysts and investors, Company Secretariat for shareholders etc..

EnergIA can understand questions posed in almost all languages, but we prefer to provide you with a response in English or Italian, the two languages available on eni.com. If you ask a question in Italian, the content on the site in Italian will be consulted. If you ask it in English or any other language, the content in English will be consulted. (Note: the language Eni uses for financial documents/content is predominantly English.)

If questions are formulated that violate the set security criteria, the system will not proceed with processing the response. Please remember not to send personal data.
