Adam Potter is completing an internship with Kairos, sponsored by DI (Danish Industry) as part of a program from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Adam has just completed his bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering with a focus on electrical engineering and is working with Kairos for three months. In the fall, he will go on to a master’s degree as well as a PhD in mechanical engineering with a focus on energy.

Kairos has recently gone into a collaboration with the University of Stavanger for a Ph.D. fellowship. Mohammad Bakhshandeh is completing his Ph.D. in industrial asset management with a focus on the resilience of engineering assets and industrial systems and situation awareness. Mohammad has a long background from working in the oil and gas industry both onshore and offshore. Mohammad is completing his Ph.D. to combine his extensive experience in the industry with higher education. 

We are so happy to be traveling again and soon we will be at ADIPEC 2021! Our CEO Bjarne André Asheim and CTO Claus Myllerup will be at our stand for Kairos Technology in the Norwegian Pavillion in Hall 8 at ADIPEC this year. They will showcase our software products for reduced emissions and increased production and safety.

We are happy to announce that Kairos Technology has entered into an agreement with Equinor to utilize our Multilevel Flow Modelling technology during the early design phase of the Krafla development project. Krafla will be the first unmanned production platform on the Norwegian Continental Shelf. 

We in Kairos have had great cooperations with DTU and their PhD candidates for the past few years. Our employees with completed PhDs from DTU includes: Lu Li, Sharat Kumar Pathi, Denis Kirchhübel, and Emil Krabbe Nielsen. DTU Electrical Engineering is now seeking qualified and talented candidates for a vacant PhD position in Improving Process Safety by Applying Model-based Methods. 

The purpose of the project is to define function modelling framework and implement model-based AI reasoning solutions, i.e. to develop representations and algorithms, to support a variety of industrial safety assessment procedures including Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment. The model-based reasoning system will be applied for knowledge management and decision support to facilitate the industrial safety assessment activities.  

Your work will have the potential to influence the current industrial practices, and subsequently improve the safety and reliability of industrial systems, reducing the social and environmental impact due to industrial accidents.

Bernt Eldor is speaking at the Digitalisation of Process Control event from SPE Aberdeen. In the virtual event on November 25th 2020, we will present a case story that demonstrates how Kairos Control Room Assistant, a technology based on qualitative artificial intelligence, has been integrated with the control systems and existing data, to perform a real-time root cause analysis and prediction of consequences.

Join our webinar to see why Repsol, Equinor, Total, and Chrysaor have decided to use Kairos!

This news has been updated due to the current situation with the Coronavirus.

Please join us at the conference on Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning by NFEA the 10-11th of November! This conference will be packed with use cases and combines presentation from the industry, users and suppliers. All combined with cutting edge presentations from academia and research and development. Kairos technology will be present with a stand where we will show a demo of Kairos Control Room Assistant in the breaks.

We want to thank everyone who stopped by our stand and our technical sessions during ADIPEC. We've had a great few days at the conference, meeting new people working in the energy sector. ADIPEC was an amazing opportunity to meet like minded people and discuss future possibilities and solutions for the oil and gas industry. The energy business in the region is transforming and embracing new technology, our solution based on digitalisation and artificial intelligens is well positioned and aligned with the strategy of the majors in the region. Both Xinxin and Bjarne André presented papers as a part of the technical conference. The technical sessions at the conference were filled with inspiring topics and learning points from the industry, presented by excellent speakers from across the globe.
