EZOps will integrate its Mobile Oilfield Management platform into the college’s energy technology program, giving students hands-on experience with digital tools used in modern oilfield operations.
The software will enhance education and research across energy, geothermal, mining, and geotechnical engineering by giving students and faculty hands-on access to industry-standard tools used worldwide.
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.
