bp America 與美國(guó)國(guó)家航空航天局 (NASA) 簽署了一項(xiàng)具有開創(chuàng)性的《太空法案協(xié)議》，標(biāo)志著能源生產(chǎn)與太空探索之間的合作開啟了新篇章。此次合作將使兩家公司共享數(shù)字技術(shù)和技術(shù)專長(zhǎng)，以實(shí)現(xiàn)共同目標(biāo)。

　　美國(guó)國(guó)家航空航天局 (NASA) 是美國(guó)政府機(jī)構(gòu)，負(fù)責(zé)國(guó)家民用太空計(jì)劃和航空研究。NASA 成立于 1958 年，負(fù)責(zé)執(zhí)行太空探索任務(wù)、科學(xué)研究以及與太空和航空相關(guān)的技術(shù)開發(fā)。

　　根據(jù)該協(xié)議，英國(guó)石油公司和美國(guó)宇航局將專注于開發(fā)和改進(jìn)數(shù)字模型和模擬等技術(shù)。這些技術(shù)將使工程師和科學(xué)家能夠可視化和管理極端環(huán)境下的設(shè)備——無(wú)論是深海還是數(shù)百萬(wàn)英里外的太空。

　　此次合作旨在利用 bp 長(zhǎng)期以來(lái)的技術(shù)創(chuàng)新傳統(tǒng)來(lái)支持 NASA 雄心勃勃的計(jì)劃，即持續(xù)探索月球、火星及更遠(yuǎn)的星球。bp 首席技術(shù)項(xiàng)目經(jīng)理 Ken Nguyen 表示：“隨著 NASA 尋求在月球和火星上持續(xù)存在，我們看到了 bp 和 NASA 合作開發(fā)前沿?cái)?shù)字技術(shù)的獨(dú)特機(jī)會(huì)，這將促進(jìn)能源和太空領(lǐng)域的進(jìn)一步創(chuàng)新。”

　　《太空法案協(xié)議》受 1958 年《國(guó)家航空航天法案》管轄，該協(xié)議促進(jìn)了 NASA 與公司和其他實(shí)體的合作，以推進(jìn)其使命。bp-NASA 合作的初始階段將專注于制定標(biāo)準(zhǔn)和擴(kuò)展可視化和模擬功能。未來(lái)階段可以探索遠(yuǎn)程操作實(shí)踐、安全通信、過(guò)程控制、預(yù)測(cè)分析、人工智能等。

　　該協(xié)議將為英國(guó)石油公司和美國(guó)宇航局的進(jìn)一步聯(lián)合努力鋪平道路，包括氫再生燃料電池、大容量電池、太陽(yáng)能系統(tǒng)、小型裂變系統(tǒng)以及創(chuàng)新電源管理和分配方面的研究。

　　bp 最新的海上平臺(tái) Argos 位于墨西哥灣，體現(xiàn)了該公司的技術(shù)實(shí)力。它是最先進(jìn)的海上設(shè)施之一，具有遠(yuǎn)程通信、人工智能、增強(qiáng)現(xiàn)實(shí)和虛擬現(xiàn)實(shí)以及數(shù)字孿生模型等創(chuàng)新技術(shù)。

　　bp bp 解決方案高級(jí)副總裁 Giovanni Cristofoli 表示：“bp 和 NASA 都擁有深厚的技術(shù)專長(zhǎng)，無(wú)論是在海底還是在月球上，都在極端環(huán)境下工作。彼此分享知識(shí)將有助于我們更快地解決復(fù)雜的工程問(wèn)題，這意味著我們可以專注于確保能源安全流動(dòng)，并以更低的排放實(shí)現(xiàn)更高的利潤(rùn)。”

　　bp 和 NASA 的伙伴關(guān)系建立在合作歷史的基礎(chǔ)上，包括在 NASA 任務(wù)中使用 bp 的嘉實(shí)多潤(rùn)滑油以及 bp 海上工人在美國(guó)宇航局中性浮力實(shí)驗(yàn)室進(jìn)行培訓(xùn)。

　　bp and NASA ink agreement to boost energy and space innovation

　　bp America and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) have entered into a groundbreaking Space Act Agreement, marking a new chapter in the collaboration between energy production and space exploration. This partnership will see the two entities share digital technologies and technical expertise to achieve their common goals.

　　NASA is the United States government agency responsible for the nation’s civilian space program and for aeronautics research. Established in 1958, NASA conducts space exploration missions, scientific research, and technology development related to space and aviation.

　　Under this agreement, bp and NASA will focus on developing and enhancing technologies such as digital models and simulations. These technologies will enable engineers and scientists to visualise and manage equipment in extreme environments—whether deep underwater or millions of miles away in space.

　　The collaboration aims to leverage bp’s long-standing legacy of technological innovation to support NASA’s ambitious plans for sustained human exploration of the Moon, Mars, and beyond. Ken Nguyen, principal technical program manager at bp, stated, “As NASA pursues a sustained presence on the Moon and Mars, we see a unique opportunity for bp and NASA to work collaboratively on the forefront of digital technology that will cultivate further innovation in energy and space.”

　　The Space Act Agreement, governed by the National Aeronautics and Space Act of 1958, facilitates NASA’s partnerships with companies and other entities to advance its mission. The initial phase of the bp-NASA collaboration will focus on creating standards and expanding visualisation and simulation capabilities. Future phases could explore remote operating practices, safety communications, process control, predictive analytics, artificial intelligence, and more.

　　This agreement could pave the way for further joint efforts between bp and NASA, including work on hydrogen regenerative fuel cells, high-capacity batteries, solar power systems, small fission systems, and innovative power management and distribution.

　　bp’s newest offshore platform, Argos, located in the Gulf of Mexico, exemplifies the company’s technological prowess. It is one of the most advanced offshore facilities, featuring innovations like remote communications, artificial intelligence, augmented and virtual reality, and digital twin models.

　　Giovanni Cristofoli, bp’s senior vice president for bp Solutions, remarked, “Both bp and NASA are custodians of deep technical expertise, working in extreme environments—whether that’s at the bottom of the ocean or on the moon. Sharing what we know with each other will help us solve complex engineering problems faster, meaning we can focus on keeping energy flowing safely and delivering higher margins with lower emissions.”

　　bp and NASA’s partnership builds on a history of collaboration, including the use of bp’s Castrol lubricants in NASA missions and bp offshore workers training at NASA’s Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory.
