Future Oil & Gas 2026 - Presentations

Roderick Perez, Senior Expert Geoscientist, at Future Oil & Gas 2026 explores how deep reinforcement learning can be applied to seismic amplitude data, combining geological modelling, agent-based migration and Deep Q-Network (DQN) training to support strategic drilling in geological exploration.

Anders Køhler of Floating Power Plant at Future Oil & Gas 2026 explores how integrated floating wind and hydrogen storage can provide green energy on demand, helping offshore operators power assets, support subsea equipment and unlock new value in the energy transition.

Michel Teughels of ExxonMobil at Future Oil & Gas 2026 explores how open digital ecosystems, knowledge graphs, engineering discipline and AI can help organisations scale digital capabilities, reduce integration friction and capture enterprise value across industrial operations.

Stuart Houston of CNOOC at Future Oil & Gas 2026 explores why AI proof of concepts often stall before production, highlighting the importance of business alignment, traceability, governance, SME validation and responsible controls.

Sofia Silvestre and Edgar Leitão of Galp at Future Oil & Gas 2026 explore how responsible AI can strengthen upstream audit processes, using Cyclops OCR, Gen AI reasoning, guardrails and human oversight to improve audit coverage, efficiency and trust.

Steven FitzGerald of Seeq at Future Oil & Gas 2026 explores why trust is the difference between AI pilots and production, showing how shared context, expert validation and governed workflows can help scale data and AI across legacy assets and infrastructure.

Steve Taylor of ITI Group at Future Oil & Gas 2026 explores why the “app wars” will end, examining how organisations can choose between standardising existing platforms or embracing disruption to shape the future of industrial software and operational data strategy.

Meaghan Snethlage of VEERUM at Future Oil & Gas 2026 explains why operational context, not simply more data, is the foundation for AI-driven operations, enabling trusted decision-making, spatial intelligence and the next generation of agentic AI.

Daniel Mercado and Pedro Santos of NEO NEXT +ENERGY at Future Oil & Gas 2026 explore how deep learning and 3D bathymetry data can automate subsea pipeline freespan detection, improving survey comparison, risk flagging and pipeline integrity management.

At Future Oil & Gas 2026, Mariante van der Merwe of Wolters Kluwer Enablon explores how AI and living BowTies can help connect PHA, barrier management and operational workflows to make process risk easier to understand, manage and act on.

Tyra Jones of Prometheus Group at Future Oil & Gas 2026 explores how responsible agentic AI can support oil and gas operations by connecting field data, ERP systems, work orders and asset context to deliver the right information to the right person at the right moment.

Ian Gaylard and Avinash Darisa of Infosys explore how energy organisations can prepare their people for AI-enabled transformation through leadership, workforce readiness, governance, trusted data and redesigned operating models.

Achilles Georgiu of MOL Group explores how AI can support problem solving by helping organisations close the gap between process capability and customer demand, provided it is guided by clear problem definition, reliable data and strong human judgement.

Shane McArdle of Falkor explores how industrial organisations can move beyond human-in-the-loop AI by building the governance, decision frameworks and digital foundations needed to support the next generation of autonomous, AI-enabled operations.

Menno van Vechel of Shell explores how responsible AI depends on trusted data foundations, process redesign and technology-agnostic architecture, highlighting the strategic choices organisations must make to scale AI safely and effectively across complex oil and gas operations.
