ML-generated metadata and Agile Governance improves data Trust and Accessibility.
- Ever have one or more of these data challenges – all team members not using or knowing which is the most up to date data input file, can’t find critical data from acquired assets for regulatory reporting, manual searching and cataloguing of acquired asset data, multiple versions of files taking up large volumes of storage?
- Digital Transformation is a step change driven by combining first principal approaches with data-driven insights to drive key business decisions. Reliable and accessible data is therefore key to drive digital transformation.
- Data-driven approaches require easy access to high quality data with reliable context for understanding. A local case study reveals that clunky file systems and fragile folder/file organization conventions create huge impediments for data science due to duplication, inconsistency and generally unreliable datasets.

Daily Work Planning as a Lens into Operational Risk
- See how AI turns daily planning conversations into a powerful new lens for risk intelligence and field leadership, revealing the hidden signals most indicative of safety risk, operational disruption and rework, and high financial impact.
- Learn how AI-enabled benchmarking and real-time insights give leaders clear visibility into field work planning, uncovering where to focus attention and coaching for earlier intervention, target leadership support, and achieve performance gains.
- Discover new approaches to deliver insights to field crews using AI and natural language dialogue rather than static reports, empowering crews to make better decisions, adapt effectively, and take action before small issues escalate.

Renewable-crude pathways and the role of digital traceability
-
Feedstock variability challenge: Fast-pyrolysis, HTL, and Fischer–Tropsch routes are progressing, yet small-scale plants produce highly variable crude quality (oxygen, metals, TAN, stability), creating refinery compatibility and blending risks.
-
Need for consistent, spec-compliant feed: Predictable quality is essential to protect catalysts, avoid unit upsets, and meet carbon-intensity (CI) and regulatory directives across the full supply chain.
-
Digital and blockchain-IoT solutions: A shared, tamper-evident data layer links batch IDs with lab results and custody history, enabling real-time quality visibility, preventing double counting, and providing auditor-ready proofs—delivering repeatable specs, clearer acceptance windows, and fewer disputes for refiners and offtakers.

From Pilots to Production: Scaling Trustworthy AI Across the Oil & Gas Value Chain for Real Operational and Business Impact
- Artificial Intelligence is no longer a future promise for Oil & Gas — but scaling it beyond pilots remains a leadership challenge. This session explores how AI can be effectively operationalized across the O&G value chain, from upstream exploration and predictive maintenance to downstream optimization and commercial decision-making.
- Drawing from real enterprise-scale transformations in highly regulated and asset-intensive environments, the talk addresses three critical dimensions: (1) aligning AI initiatives with core business value and operational KPIs; (2) building trust through governance, data integrity, and responsible AI practices; and (3) enabling organizational adoption by integrating people, processes, and technology.
- Attendees will leave with a pragmatic framework to move from experimentation to sustainable AI-driven performance, reducing risk while accelerating impact.
