Digital drilling technologies are enabling a shift toward more predictive, efficient, and sustainable operations.
Breakthroughs in energy, similar to those seen in AI, require coordinated progress across multiple fields and the resolution of structural bottlenecks. As a result, a successful energy transition depends on integrated advances in infrastructure, policy, technology, and investment rather than isolated efforts.
The Genesis Mission is a US Department of Energy initiative that integrates AI, national labs, and cross-sector collaboration to accelerate scientific discovery, strengthen energy innovation, and enhance national security.

A look at the universities, startups, and multinational corporations in Silicon Valley, California, which are applying data science and predictive modeling for oilfield management. -
The oil and gas industry is facing an invasion of data analytics startups who saw a wide-open gap in the market a few years ago when talk of big data first began.
-
A newcomer in the arena of oilfield market research has set an ambitiously high bar for itself: to speed up the oil and gas industry’s widely acknowledged and painfully slow rate of technology adoption.
