Rystad Energy Innovate: a new vision for energy intelligence in the AI era

Rystad Energy is set to unveil a new vision for energy intelligence in the AI era at Innovate, an online broadcast scheduled for 20 August 2026. The event aims to mark the full commercial launch of Spektra, Rystad Energy's AI-native market intelligence platform. Spektra, which was launched in beta in June 2026, consolidates Rystad Energy's comprehensive commercial databases into a single workspace.

This allows users to generate unlimited workspaces tailored to their individual workflows, merging data from various sources and removing the need to navigate between different tools.

Rystad Energy has a two-decade-long history of building data essential to the energy industry. Spektra represents the next phase, providing a single system that combines powerful data exploration within web-based workspaces, along with MCP connectors and an API gateway. This enables energy professionals to access and integrate Rystad Energy data in the most efficient manner for their specific needs.

The platform draws upon millions of energy assets worldwide, including 85,000+ oil and gas fields, more than 2 million wells, and 200,000+ conventional and renewable energy power plants. All data has been independently sourced and verified.

The energy market is becoming increasingly complex, with the demand for faster, more reliable intelligence growing exponentially. Spektra is tailored to this new reality, designed around the actual working methods of energy professionals. It offers quick and flexible access to the most dependable energy data in the industry, providing both simplicity for less experienced users and depth for more sophisticated ones.

At Innovate, Rystad Energy will showcase the full AI ecosystem in action. This includes the AskRystad tool, MCP, and the Microsoft 365 Copilot integration, alongside how data now flows directly into the tools the industry already uses. Clients who played a role in shaping Spektra will also present during the event, discussing how the platform has transformed their working methods.

Additionally, partner integrations with HSBC, SLB, Quorum, and FutureOn will demonstrate how Rystad Energy data interfaces with the operational tools crucial to the industry.

The integration of Rystad Energy's proprietary data with Microsoft 365 Copilot through MCP ensures that energy professionals have immediate access to critical insights, enabling more informed decision-making and enhanced business impact across organizations that rely on this intelligence. Per Christian Honningsvåg, General Manager of Energy and Resources at Microsoft, emphasizes that Rystad Energy Innovate is a pivotal moment where two decades of industry expertise are integrated directly into the flow of work.

The Innovate event will be held on Thursday, 20 August 2026, from the Rystad Energy Oslo studio and is open to clients and the market. Registration is required.
