Technical Session 4: Emerging Technologies - I

04 Feb 2025
Jeddah Meeting Room
Technical Session

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is an emerging technology in the oil, gas, and energy sectors by providing transformative solutions across all aspects of the value chain, from upstream to downstream operations. In upstream activities, AI enhances exploration, drilling, and production through advanced data analytics, machine learning, and predictive modeling, improving resource identification and optimizing reservoir performance. Midstream operations benefit from AI-powered systems that ensure efficient transportation, real-time pipeline monitoring, and risk mitigation. In downstream processes, AI enables enhanced refining, improved supply chain management, and demand forecasting, driving operational efficiency and cost reduction. Beyond traditional oil and gas, AI supports the integration of renewable energy sources, smart grid management, and sustainability initiatives, aiding the industry's transition toward greener practices. By leveraging AI's capabilities, the sector achieves higher precision, safety, and efficiency while addressing global energy demands and environmental concerns. This session explores AI's comprehensive impact on the oil, gas, and energy sectors, highlighting its role in fostering innovation and sustainability.
