Snowflake has formed a new partnership with Cognite as part of the launch of its Energy Solutions product, a set of cloud-based tools designed to support data management and analytics workflows for energy companies. The collaboration is intended to help energy-focused organizations integrate operational and enterprise data and apply analytics and artificial intelligence across their operations.
Cognite focuses on structuring industrial data from IT, operational technology (OT), and Internet of Things systems through a continuously updated knowledge graph. Under the partnership, shared customers can use Snowflake’s cloud platform alongside Cognite’s data-modeling capabilities to access and analyze industrial datasets across upstream, midstream, downstream, and power operations.
“By combining Cognite’s specialized ability to make complex industrial data AI-ready and scalable with the Snowflake AI Data Cloud, we’re enabling customers to unify IT and OT workflows across the enterprise,” Fred Cohagan, global head of energy for Snowflake, said in a statement.
The launch of the Energy Solutions suite coincides with new integrations involving several data partners, including Argus and Spotfire.
Argus will make selected energy price benchmarks and market analysis available through Snowflake, including coverage of crude oil, refined products, and biofuels. Snowflake said additional Argus commodity datasets may also be accessible through the platform.
Through its collaboration with Spotfire, Snowflake aims to provide a shared environment where upstream teams can analyze data ranging from high-frequency SCADA signals to long-term geological and production records, with Snowflake supporting data storage and processing and Spotfire enabling visualization and analytics.
Snowflake counts ExxonMobil, Devon Energy, PG&E, and Siemens among its energy-sector customers. In 2024, Snowflake worked with Devon and petroleum engineering software firm Whitson to develop a system used to monitor production data from approximately 5,000 wells and support automated bottomhole pressure calculations.
