  • Sigma partners with Snowflake to deliver AI-powered solutions integrated with Snowflake’s Energy Solutions for the energy sector.
  • The collaboration resolves the Overall Process Effectiveness (OPE) paradox by unifying plant-level physics with real-time market pricing for margin-optimized production.
  • Joint customers gain a single, governed data foundation that bridges IT, OT, and IoT systems for real-time visibility and AI-driven insights.
  • Key capabilities include natural language queries via Cortex AI, instant root-cause analysis, Sigma writeback for immediate action, and reduced downtime, emissions, and off-spec losses.
  • Solutions emphasize safety, resilience, regulatory compliance, and secure multi-party collaboration across the energy value chain.
  • Energy providers can pivot from volume-based output to maximum-margin optimization in flow-based, continuous production environments.

Energy organizations face mounting challenges, including securing critical infrastructure, improving resilience amid volatile markets, and managing vast operational data volumes. Sigma, built on Snowflake, provides an intuitive, AI-powered interface that turns live cloud data into actionable applications, enabling faster, more confident decisions throughout the energy lifecycle.

“Energy organizations are under increasing pressure to operate more efficiently, securely, and resiliently while managing massive volumes of operational data,” said Mike Palmer, CEO of Sigma. “By leveraging Snowflake on this solution, we’re combining Sigma’s ability to turn live cloud data into intuitive, AI-powered applications with Snowflake’s Energy Solutions, giving joint customers a unified foundation to improve overall process effectiveness, optimize yield, and make faster, more confident decisions across the energy lifecycle.”

Snowflake’s Energy Solutions create a trusted, governed data foundation that integrates traditionally siloed IT and OT systems, fosters ecosystem collaboration, and unlocks AI capabilities to enhance reliability, efficiency, and sustainability.

“Energy companies aren’t just modernizing systems — they’re redefining how the world energizes the future,” said Fred Cohagan, Global Head of Energy, Snowflake. “Together with Sigma, we are helping organizations build a trusted data foundation that turns complexity into clarity. By unifying IT and OT data and activating AI responsibly, companies gain the real-time intelligence needed to run more reliable operations and accelerate low-carbon solutions in an increasingly dynamic landscape.”

Through this partnership, energy organizations benefit from:

  • Unified IT, OT, and IoT data integration for market-aware operations across exploration, production, transmission/distribution, asset performance, trading/risk, and customer functions.
  • Cortex AI-enabled natural language querying for instant root-cause insights, paired with Sigma writeback to update production plans in real time.
  • Enhanced safety, efficiency, and emissions reduction by combining field sensor data with enterprise systems to minimize downtime and environmental impact.
  • Built-in security, governance, data lineage, and compliance to scale AI innovation securely.
  • Secure data sharing via Snowflake Marketplace for collaboration with suppliers, regulators, operators, and partners.

This collaboration positions energy providers to operate more intelligently and sustainably in a rapidly evolving landscape.
