Applied Computing has secured fresh funding to expand its AI platform for energy operations, supporting international growth, research and wider deployment of its technology to improve efficiency, reliability and emissions performance.

Applied Computing has raised a $20M Series A to build a foundation AI model for the oil, gas and petrochemical industry.

The London startup says plants run on less than 8% of the data they collect. Its Orbital model fuses time series, physics and language. KBR led the $20m round.
