AI/machine learning
The Norwegian major said it is using artificial intelligence for predictive maintenance throughout its facilities and for interpretation of seismic data from the Norwegian continental shelf.
This paper explores the evolving role of the digital petroleum engineer, examines the core technologies they use, assesses the challenges they face, and projects future industry trends.
Are we in an AI bubble? The question may seem academic to petroleum engineers who are already capitalizing on the momentum of digitalization across the industry, yet any engineer, regardless of their career stage, could be forgiven for feeling overwhelmed by the sheer scope of specialized skills now demanded in this rapidly evolving digital landscape.
