Schedule at a Glance

Tuesday, 3 June | 15:00-18:00 | Room 16
ML & AI for Geological Characterisation-1

Jeff Roth, Data Scientist

June3rd

Smarter Tech for Better Resource Recovery:  Knowing precisely where oil and gas reserves lie underground is key to drilling efficiently. However, in challenging geological areas, data gathered during drilling isn't always perfect. Attend this session to see how our cutting-edge machine learning techniques overcome these data hurdles. Learn how this innovation provides a clearer picture of the reservoir by reliably identifying the hydrocarbon-water contact, even with imperfect data. Knowing this boundary precisely helps optimize well design and prevents drilling deeper than necessary, ultimately improving cost and operational efficiency.

Roundtable: Powering the Future: Is AI Just Buzz or the Real Deal in Energy

Mik Isernia, Head of Sales

June4th

As global demand for more efficient energy solutions rises, AI is increasingly touted as a transformative force in the energy sector. But is AI truly driving meaningful innovation, or is it simply the latest industry buzzword? This panel explores the current and potential roles of AI across the energy value chain — from predictive maintenance, to reservoir management, to renewables in the energy sector. By examining real-world case studies, emerging technologies, and the challenges of implementation, we aim to separate the hype from the reality. Attendees will gain a critical understanding of AI’s tangible impact on energy systems today, along with the strategic considerations necessary to harness its full potential in powering the future.

Workshop: Foundation Models in the Geosciences

Jesse Pisel, Director of Data Science Challenges

June6Calendar

As the geosciences increasingly intersect with advanced AI technologies, foundation models—large pre-trained models that can be fine-tuned for specific tasks—are emerging as transformative tools. This workshop will explore the application of these models in geosciences, from seismic interpretation to reservoir characterization, and beyond. Sub-Topics that will be covered in the workshop:

  • Introduction to foundation models and their significance in geosciences.
  • Case studies demonstrating successful applications in seismic data analysis, subsurface modeling, and environmental monitoring.
  • Challenges and future directions in integrating AI-driven models with traditional geoscience workflows.
