Data & Analytics
As global electricity demand surges, driven by AI, digitalization, and electrification, offshore innovation, spanning oil and gas, renewables, nuclear, and data infrastructure, will be critical to delivering a cleaner, more resilient energy future.
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.
For more than a century, LSU has shaped petroleum engineering education, but few assets showcase its impact like the PERTT Lab. With six deep test wells and rare reservoir-depth gas-injection capabilities, the facility is helping drive breakthroughs in well control, carbon-dioxide injection, and next-generation energy technologies.
