From Markups to Intelligence: Using AI to Turn Engineering Documents into Faster, More Reliable Energy Project Decisions

Philippe Herve is the Head of Energy Industry at Bluebeam, where he leads digital transformation initiatives across the oil & gas, power, and renewable energy sectors. With decades of global experience in engineering, operations, manufacturing, IT, and artificial intelligence, Philippe has helped organizations modernize capital project delivery through practical digital technologies. He is a recognized thought leader in AI, engineering collaboration, and digital project execution, and has authored numerous technical papers and patents focused on industrial innovation and operational efficiency.
 

In his session, Philippe will explore how AI-powered engineering document workflows are transforming decision-making across capital projects in the oil & gas industry. He will discuss how standardizing drawings, markups, engineering documents, and review workflows creates a trusted information foundation that enables AI to deliver faster, more reliable project insights. The session will also demonstrate how connected document workflows reduce review-cycle time, minimize rework, improve collaboration across owners, EPCs, contractors, and field teams, and establish stronger governance for AI-enabled project execution from design through commissioning and handover.
