Insider Brief

Quantinuum and bp launched a quantum computing project focused on improving seismic imaging for oil and gas exploration.

The collaboration aims to use hybrid quantum-classical methods to model complex subsurface properties more efficiently than classical computing alone.

The project builds on an earlier feasibility pilot and explores whether quantum computing can reduce computational costs and improve imaging resolution in energy applications.

PRESS RELEASE — Quantinuum, a leading quantum computing company, today announced the launch of a new quantum project in collaboration with bp, the global integrated energy company, aimed at modernizing how the energy sector maps the Earth’s subsurface to locate oil and gas resources.
