Hydrogen is emerging as a key low-carbon energy carrier for the energy transition, with multiple production pathways that differ in cost, emissions, and scalability trade-offs.

Over the past decade, oilfield service companies have transformed logging-while-drilling (LWD) development into a faster, collaborative, system-level process that delivers improved reliability from the first run and makes development philosophy as important as the technology itself.

Digital transformation in oil and gas depends less on adopting advanced technologies and more on maturing data so people and processes can reliably convert raw information into aligned, asset-level value.

Agentic AI can enhance subsurface workflows when its autonomy is deliberately designed around physics, data integrity, and accountable decision-making through architectures that separate reasoning, computation, interpretation, and validation.

In complex energy projects, technical excellence alone is not enough—successful delivery depends on disciplined execution skills such as scope clarity, realistic scheduling, stakeholder coordination, and proactive risk management, particularly for young professionals turning concepts into real-world results.

The energy sector is rapidly transforming toward a data-driven, decentralized future where combining human expertise with AI and machine learning unlocks new efficiencies, solves complex challenges, and creates a decisive competitive advantage.

Marie-Hélène Pelletier presents a proactive framework for building resilience, managing uncertainty, and maintaining performance as AI reshapes work and life.

AI is transforming oil and gas, but the real change will come from young professionals (YPs) who bridge technology and field expertise. By leading pilots, building networks, and challenging old assumptions, YPs can drive the industry’s digital transformation from within.

By integrating AI into every layer of the energy ecosystem, from renewable forecasting to dynamic pricing, the path toward secure, sustainable, and affordable energy becomes not just possible but achievable.

Steel and cement are indispensable to modern society and the global energy transition, yet their production remains heavily dependent on fossil fuels—making them major contributors to greenhouse-gas emissions and posing a critical challenge to achieving full decarbonization by 2050.
