The AI Field Manager: Building a Connected Operational Decision Intelligence Layer Across Wells, Water, Vendors, and OPEX.
  • Reliable, real-time decision support across well performance, water management, and capital accountability remains an unsolved operational challenge for oil and gas operators - not because data is unavailable, but because the relationships between data are not queryable.
  • Critical engineering decisions involving well prioritization, produced water disposal routing, vendor cost attribution, and AFE compliance monitoring require simultaneous access to information distributed across production databases, ERP systems, completions repositories, and AP platforms.
  • In the absence of a connected data architecture, this integration burden falls on individual engineers, introducing hours of manual data assembly per query and systematically limiting the frequency and quality of operational analysis.
  • The session presents the real-world deployment of the reView Intelligence Platform, a graph-native AI reasoning system, that unified well data, production history, financials, vendor records, AFEs, and water infrastructure into a single auditable, queryable knowledge graph for Civitas Resources with these results in the first six weeks: - $6.7M in annualized disposal cost savings from a 40% reduction in produced water trucking - $12M in avoided capital surprises through early AFE overrun detection - Complex cross-domain query time reduced from 2+ hours to under 10 second

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.
  • A scalable, trusted metadata management approach or system? can bring context to data and a cloud-based, intuitive, user-friendly discovery system can provide search and visualization of available data sets with lineage and quality context. Embracing agile, smart data governance policies shift data management perspective from one of burden to overall asset team value.
  • presentation will focus on the challenges and the solution employed accelerating the digital transformation journey for companies in the acquisition space.
