This article is the second in a Q&A series from the SPE Research and Development Technical Section focusing on emerging energy technologies. In this piece, Madhava Syamlal, CEO and founder of QubitSolve, discusses the present and future of quantum computing.
The full potential of data can only be realized when it is viewed not in isolation but as part of the dynamic triad of hydrocarbons, the data, and the people who interpret it and act on it.
Over decades of exploration and production, the oil and gas sector has accumulated vast amounts of legacy data in various formats. Artificial intelligence and machine learning present an opportunity to transform how this unstructured data is processed and used, enabling significant improvements in operational efficiency and decision-making.
