Agora is the digital innovation partner for field operators ready to harness the full power of IoT and edge computing. By combining decades of domain expertise with an agile approach, our team is changing how operators deliver results at the edge. Agora is a venture backed by Schlumberger, the world's leading provider of technology for reservoir characterization, drilling, production and processing to the oil and gas industry.
Edge intelligence has the power to transform oil and gas and broader energy industry operations as we know it, helping teams reduce downtime and HSE exposure, lower operating costs and enhance production. However, poor connectivity, data transmission costs, and a lack of integration have prevented operators from realizing the full potential of edge intelligence—until now.
Agora met this challenge with unmatched domain expertise and leading-edge technology. The result? Edge Ai and IoT solutions designed by field innovators, for field innovators.
