Keynote Speech: State of the Industry - 2026 Look Ahead & Impact of Digital (AI/ML) Technologies
by David Batt
Technology, innovation, improved operational practices including increasing adoption of digital (AI/ML) are allowing the industry to "accomplish more with less". Lower activity, capex and headcount have not resulted in production declines but rather advancements in technology are driving the market and production forward. Formation evaluation plays a role along with drilling, completion and production. We will review the digital technologies improving geoscience workflows and operator strategies in meeting their digital future.
