CERAWeek panelists see AI as a way to leverage data and people in interpreting data for exploration, but a cultural shift at companies may still be needed.
Data centers could add up to 6 Bcf/D of US gas demand by 2030, creating a new opportunity for producers and reshaping how oil companies think about electricity supply.
In this study, forward simulation is executed by a commercial reservoir simulator while external code is developed for backward calculations.
