Reported result
Issuer-disclosed infrastructure investment >€100m and sixfold compute-capacity increase. It forecasts approximately 40% lower energy consumption at equal performance and a fivefold reduction in cooling-system consumption.
What this does not establish
Whole infrastructure contract amount is not allocated to AI; compute supports seismic and other digital/scientific workloads. Energy/cooling figures are forecasts, not measured savings. Do not add the full amount to AI-specific investment, do not sum with Mistral program commitment, and do not count forecast efficiency as realized ROI.
Material strategy/infrastructure context behind subsurface AI; separately classified outside operator-adoption counts and AI-specific spend.
