Wood 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' Data + AI Platform with Wood's engineering, operational and asset-domain expertise to help clients apply AI at scale to complex industrial challenges. Together, the companies will help organisations improve decision-making, increase productivity and enhance project and operational performance across the asset lifecycle, while automating routine activities and enabling specialists to focus on higher-value technical work. The partnership builds on successful collaboration with shared clients, including the delivery of an AI-enabled engineering solution that reduced the time required for critical-path document review and quality assurance by 75%, accelerating project delivery while maintaining engineering oversight. Dr David Cole FREng, Chief Operations Officer - Consulting at Wood, said technology alone doesn't deliver outcomes and that real value comes from combining advanced AI capabilities with deep engineering and operational expertise. Mustafa Ashraf, UAE Country Manager at Databricks, said 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.
