Launched by C3 AI, Shell, Baker Hughes, and Microsoft in February 2021, the OAI provides an open framework for energy operators, service and equipment providers, and independent software vendors for energy operations to offer interoperable solutions, powered by the BHC3 AI Suite and Microsoft Azure. These vendors join Cenosco, Kongsberg Digital, and MathWorks who are already contributing members of the OAI.

Current OAI vendors offer capabilities under the following categories: system integrator, asset and system reliability, data integration, data science tools, and plant and facility optimization. With the addition of these new members, a new category, modeling and simulation, will be added.
Aligned Automation, Infosys, Wipro, and EPAM Systems are joining as system integrators, which provide services and trained personnel for delivery of OAI solutions to customers.
