Beijing, May 24, 2026 — As a Burkina Faso geological expert delegation concluded a 7-day technical exchange, Deep Exploration (Beijing) Technology Co., Ltd. completed the phased acceptance of its cooperation project with the Government of Burkina Faso.
3,000 km² Cooperation: Remote AI Technology Powers Africa's Oil Search
In January this year, Deep Exploration signed a 3,000 km² remote AI oil & gas detection service agreement with the Government of Burkina Faso, becoming one of the country's highest-priority strategic partnerships of the year. The project aims to leverage Deep Exploration's proprietary remote AI intelligent detection technology to help Burkina Faso achieve resource self-determination, overcome long-standing energy development bottlenecks, and provide sustainable momentum for economic transformation.
From May 17 to 24, a delegation led by Dr. Yirbudo Hermann, Director General of the Bureau of Geology and Mining of Burkina Faso, visited Beijing accompanied by geological and geophysical experts. Technical teams from both sides engaged in intensive discussions on core topics including geological modeling, data processing, and resource assessment, systematically reviewing key project milestones through thematic presentations, case studies, and technical Q&A sessions.
Deep Exploration Founder and Chairman Dr. Lei Ming presented the company's breakthroughs in "Multi-Modal Heterogeneous Data AI + Targeted Ultra-Weak NMR Frequency Resonance," while Project Lead and Chief Engineer Wang Liang delivered a dedicated report on the ongoing 3,000 km² oil & gas project, comprehensively presenting data acquisition, model construction, and phased results. The Burkinabe experts highly recognized the scientific rigor of Deep Exploration's technical approach and the team's execution capability, and both sides agreed to strengthen technical exchanges and geological data sharing to accelerate the delivery of the next exploration phase.
Ministerial Visit Strengthens Strategic Trust
The outcomes of the technical exchange also drew the highest levels of attention from the Government of Burkina Faso. On the morning of May 20, H.E. Yacouba Zabré Gouba, Minister of Energy, Mining, and Quarries of Burkina Faso, accompanied by the Ambassador to China, made a dedicated visit to Deep Exploration's Beijing headquarters to receive the project's phased progress report.
The Minister emphasized: "This project is not only a core initiative of Burkina Faso's national development strategy, receiving the President's close attention, but also carries the fervent hopes of the Burkinabe people. We thank the Deep Exploration team for their professional dedication and look forward to the technology's results translating into tangible resource discoveries."
Deep Exploration General Manager Kou Fei responded: "This oil & gas exploration cooperation with the Government of Burkina Faso is one of the most significant milestones in Deep Exploration's global deployment and currently the company's highest-priority service project. We will make every effort to ensure the project's high-quality on-time delivery, so that technological innovation truly benefits the livelihood and development of Burkina Faso."
Win-Win Future: Technical Cooperation Driving Talent Development
This exchange went beyond a single project, establishing a long-term collaborative mechanism for China-Burkina Faso geological science and technology. Burkinabe experts specifically noted that Deep Exploration's multi-modal data integration capabilities and remote deep-detection AI interpretation models provide a critical technical pathway for developing countries to independently hold the reins of their resource sovereignty. As the project enters the field operation phase, both sides intend to deepen cooperation and assist Burkina Faso in cultivating local technical talent in geological exploration, transforming exploration achievements into production capacity.
From Beijing to Ouagadougou, a technical relay spanning mountains and oceans has now set off. Deep Exploration will continue to drive a paradigm shift in global resource exploration with its innovation engine, using China's innovative technologies to help partner countries light their path to energy independence.
