Accelerating the future of energy: Join Dell Technologies and NVIDIA at EAGE 2026

As the global energy community prepares to gather in Aberdeen for EAGE 2026, the industry is at a pivotal moment. Oil and gas organizations are balancing rising demand, operational complexity and the push for lower-carbon outcomes. The pace of decision-making has never mattered more.

At Dell Technologies, we believe the answer lies in turning data into real-time intelligence. That’s why, together with NVIDIA, we’re showcasing how the Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA helps energy companies move from AI ambition to measurable impact, securely, at scale and across the value chain.

From data complexity to operational clarity

Energy companies are managing unprecedented volumes of subsurface, operational and sensor data and the opportunity now is to turn that scale into speed. Faster exploration optimized production and safer operations are within reach when the right compute, models and workflows come together.

The Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA delivers a comprehensive and secure AI solution customizable for organizations:

    • Simplified — Make AI deployments and operations easier and more scalable with automated workflows
    • Tailored — Turn data into powerful insights with an AI approach designed to address needs
    • Trusted — Safeguard data by ensuring privacy, governance and full control, while confidently maximizing its value

With a full-stack approach that combines infrastructure, data, AI models and services tailored for AI workloads from desktop to data center, it paves the way for AI to work seamlessly. The end-to-end enterprise AI solution enables organizations to:

    • Deploy AI faster with validated, end-to-end architectures
    • Scale workloads across on-prem and hybrid environments
    • Improve engineering productivity with generative and agentic AI
  •  

Organizations like Worley are already seeing results by accelerating innovation timelines and boosting workforce productivity with AI-driven tools built on this foundation.

Experience innovation firsthand at EAGE

At booth A326, we’re bringing real oil and gas use cases to life with interactive demos designed for geoscientists, engineers and operations teams.

    • Physics-informed AI for FWI
      This demo showcases a diffusion-based Full Waveform Inversion (FWI) surrogate model that dramatically accelerates seismic imaging compared to traditional CPU-based workflows. Built with NVIDIA PhysicsNeMo and running on Dell Pro Max infrastructure with NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs, the solution enables faster iteration on subsurface models while maintaining high physical fidelity. Using public datasets, it highlights how physics-informed AI can reduce compute costs, shorten exploration cycles and unlock more responsive, data-driven decision-making in seismic interpretation.
    • Reservoir simulation agent
      An agentic AI workflow that transforms subsurface engineering by automating 24/7 reservoir simulation loops and complex heuristic optimization. Powered by NVIDIA NIM with NemoClaw, OpenShell, NeMo and Nemotron models at its core, the solution deploys specialized sub-agents (proposers, critics and job managers) that autonomously interact with simulator APIs to orchestrate hyperparameter tuning, scenario testing and high-dimensional data synthesis, shifting engineers from manual task execution to strategic supervision. Running on Dell Pro Precision laptop with NVIDIA RTX PRO Blackwell GPU, the platform is simulation-tool agnostic and extensible to emerging domains such as CO₂ sequestration and geothermal.
    • Vision AI Agents for safety – Fogsphere
      Fogsphere turns existing cameras across rigs, refineries and processing plants into a real-time intelligence layer, powered by NVIDIA Cosmos and Metropolis Blueprint for video search and summarization (VSS). Running locally on the Dell Pro Max with GB10 accelerated by the NVIDIA Grace Blackwell Superchip, the solution processes video streams on-site to detect safety risks, operational anomalies and compliance issues in real time. The platform generates instant alerts, supports semantic video search and automates reporting — enabling faster incident response and improved operational visibility. With a low-code, open architecture, it allows operators and partners to build and deploy Physical AI models while keeping sensitive data fully on-prem.

    • Agentic AI for upstream – Inception & AIQ
      This demo presents a modular agentic AI platform designed to unify upstream workflows across RAG, petrophysics, reservoir monitoring, simulation and field development optimization. Built for extensibility and performance on Dell infrastructure with NVIDIA GPUs, the platform enables intelligent automation and cross-domain insights at scale. By connecting data, models and decision loops, Inception & AIQ empowers operators to optimize asset performance, reduce operational complexity and accelerate time to value across the upstream lifecycle.

Innovation in energy is a team sport. Dell and NVIDIA’s ecosystem brings together leading ISVs, system integrators and technology partners to deliver integrated, production-ready solutions. This ecosystem ensures energy organizations can move from proof of concept to scalable deployment — faster and ready for production.

Beyond the booth: Learn, build and collaborate

Our presence extends beyond demos into hands-on and thought leadership experiences:

    • AI-focused hackathon: Teams of three will compete in a live simulation to build and sustain a city under rapidly escalating AI-driven energy demand. Participants must collaboratively site and optimize both renewable and non-renewable assets while managing a constrained budget and maintaining real-time grid stability without battery storage. The challenge evolves from manual decision-making to developing custom Python-based machine learning solutions, culminating in training an autonomous AI agent for long-term energy transition. Participants gain hands-on experience with Dell and NVIDIA accelerated computing throughout the challenge.
    • Speaking sessions on hybrid AI and HPC for subsurface and AI-driven energy transformation.
      • Future.Now! – Transforming Subsurface Workflows with Hybrid AI/HPC Accelerated Computing  — This session will highlight how Dell infrastructure combined with NVIDIA accelerated computing enables more connected, high-performance environments for subsurface interpretation, modeling and analysis. Attendees will gain insight into how energy companies can turn growing data complexity into actionable outcomes—unlocking faster processing, deeper insights and scalable workflows designed for real-world operational demands. Date & Time: June 9 | 12:05–12:35 PM, in the Digital Transformation Area Theatre.
      • No Transition Without Intelligence: AI as the Engine of the Energy Revolution  —  Learn how Dell and NVIDIA are helping energy companies move from AI ambition to real-world impact through advanced computing, accelerated data processing and AI-ready infrastructure. Attendees will gain insight into how AI can enhance asset performance, reduce downtime, improve operational resilience and support emissions reduction goals—unlocking new efficiencies across the energy value chain. Date & Time: June 10 | 9:50–10:30 AM, in the Energy Transition Area.
