Industrial AI Without Accountability: Why AI Initiatives Fail to Scale and How Energy Leaders Can Turn Innovation Into Impact
- The energy industry is rapidly investing in AI, automation, and advanced analytics, but many organizations are discovering that successful transformation requires more than deploying new technology. Without clear ownership, governance, operational alignment, and measurable business outcomes, AI initiatives often remain disconnected pilots rather than enterprise-wide drivers of performance.
- Drawing from more than 30 years of leadership experience across energy, technology, and enterprise transformation, including global leadership roles at Halliburton Landmark Services, Steve Senterfit explores why industrial AI efforts stall and what leaders can do differently. This session will examine how oil and gas organizations can create accountability frameworks that connect AI investments to operational priorities, workforce adoption, and measurable value creation.
- Why AI initiatives fail when accountability and ownership are unclear

BOOKED SESSION
From Data Chaos to Business Value: Leveraging Advanced Analytics in Oil & Gas to Drive Efficiency, Growth, ESG Leadership, and Smarter Investment Decisions
- Discover how advanced analytics transforms overwhelming oil & gas datasets into actionable insights that optimize operations, reduce costs, and accelerate value creation across the energy value chain.
- Learn how predictive analytics and AI improve forecasting, streamline supply chains, and enhance asset benchmarking—empowering operators, service companies, and investors to make faster, smarter business decisions.
- Explore real-world use cases where analytics drove financial impact, supported ESG compliance, and unlocked new growth opportunities including M&A benchmarking .
11:00 - 11:30
Beyond the Repository: Integrating Engineering Knowledge into a Living System
- Why fragmentation, not scarcity, is the real failure mode of engineering knowledge management
- The architecture of an integrated knowledge spine - connecting standards, deviations, conflicts, lessons, and experience so an insight in one propagates to all
- How an AI reasoning layer across integrated knowledge surfaces patterns, clashes, and needed standard changes no single silo could see
- A maturity path from document repositories? connected system? self-assuring, living knowledge

Operational Intelligence: Turning Data into Business Growth
- Using LogistixIQ as a real-world case study, this presentation demonstrates how AI predicts supply chain risks that contribute to nonproductive time (NPT), automatically prioritizes recommendations, and supports operational decision-making throughout well execution. Attendees will see how AI-generated insights are embedded into daily field workflows to improve execution - not simply reported after the fact.
- The session will also explore how E&P operators can extend this approach by creating an operational data hub that enables AI agents to monitor multiple contractors, identify emerging execution risks across the supply chain, and recommend coordinated actions before performance degrades.
- Finally, the presentation will discuss the practical challenges of building an operational AI platform, including data quality, system integration, change management, and the methods used to transform fragmented operational data into trusted, actionable intelligence.

Case Study - Using Automation to Increase Drilling Operational Efficiencies & Reduce Downtime Related to Overpressure Events
- This case study presentation will discuss current methods being used in drilling operations related to high pressure and the industry challenges faced with high pressure events.
- It will also discuss a new method using automation to increase drilling operational efficiencies including increased ROP (rate of penetration) and eliminating high pressure events.
- It will also discuss the drilling/operational results seen during field trial use.

From Remote Tanks to Real ROI: What Large-Scale Oilfield Monitoring Deployments Teach Us About Turning Simple Field Data into Real Savings
- Drawing on our major remote tank monitoring roll-outs with oil field service companies, look at what happens when thousands of previously “dumb” field assets become connected.
- Show where the real ROI comes from: fewer truck rolls, fewer manual tank checks, better replenishment, fewer run-outs and much better visibility of remote chemical inventories.
- Explore why getting simple, reliable data from the field is often more valuable than adding another sophisticated dashboard - and why platform agnostic monitoring matters at scale.
- Share the practical lessons learned from deploying remote monitoring across demanding oilfield applications: what works, what creates value, and where operators can achieve measurable savings quickly.

Orchestrating Value And Adoption: Key To Successful Digital Engineering Transformation
- Overview of the O&G sector's digital transformation
- Challenges in achieving full value potential from digital transformations (given the Complexity, heterogeneity, and maturity of transformation initiatives)
- Our Approach: Integrated Value Office as custodian for all initiatives
Stakeholder is key: “Business-led with digitally support”. Gather substantial support and recognition from various stakeholders e.g., business owners, finance etc.
Ensure that right value is generated from transformation initiatives. Value hunting as top priority when pursuing innovation and business objectives.
Value Obsession Framework (VOF) clear stage-gates across the value creation process.
Well-defined Standard Operating Procedure (governance process)
