Moving from AI POC’s to Production Use Cases that Deliver Measurable Value

This panel focused on how the oil and gas sector can move beyond AI proof-of-concepts to scalable, production-ready solutions that deliver measurable value. Speakers discussed governance, cybersecurity and interoperability in regulated environments, the shift from competition to collaboration on AI and data foundations, and the importance of human–AI collaboration, trust and practical ontologies in driving bottom-line impact at scale.
This discussion explored how autonomous operations and AI-driven asset integrity rely on trusted cross-asset data hubs and integrated edge-to-cloud intelligence. Panellists highlighted the importance of managing AI as critical infrastructure, addressing data quality and hallucination risks, and enabling the workforce through responsible, human-centred AI and leadership-led AI literacy.
This session focused on building organisational readiness while preserving critical institutional knowledge in an AI-enabled future. Speakers discussed overcoming change resistance, learning from human–AI failures, and moving beyond pilots through stronger data foundations, cross-functional literacy and change enablement. The discussion also emphasised aligning talent strategies with a collaborative digital future and safeguarding long-term knowledge transfer as experienced workforces evolve.
This panel examined how combining AI with digital twins is reshaping operating models across onshore and offshore facilities. Discussion covered the role of digital integration platforms and secure data federations, overcoming adoption barriers, and accelerating reporting through AI-driven insights, while ensuring contextualised, trustworthy data that avoids bias and supports sound decision-making.
This panel explored the EPC contracting roadmap for decarbonising the oil and gas industry, highlighting the foundations needed for agile, innovative business models. Discussions focused on scaling electrification, digital solutions for emissions reduction, sustainable power for AI-driven data centres, and the viability of CCUS amid cost and supply-chain pressures. Speakers also examined the role of global energy hubs and how AI-enabled forecasting can support business continuity by assessing geopolitical and social risks across the value chain.
This panel will explore how the EPC industry is adopting AI-enabled facility design, from moving beyond rule-based automation to self-learning OT environments and human–AI collaboration across generations. It will also examine how AI and digital twins can improve reliability, safety and efficiency, while addressing AI-driven decision support and zero-trust security challenges.
