Schedule at a Glance

Wednesday, March 26 | 11:10 - 12:00
Strategic Session: Balancing Exciting Possibilities vs Realistic Implementations

Josh Etkind, CEO

March26

Roundtable Discussion:
Open-source tools and low-code platforms foster innovation by enabling domain experts with limited programming ability to create custom applications for their unique business needs. However, these user-led developments require corporate steer to ensure alignment with business goals, security, and scalability. This panel will explore the challenges of supporting citizen development as part of an innovation strategy while balancing against compliance risks and the conservative nature of the oil and gas industry.


Wednesday, March 26 | 11:10 - 11:30
Technical Session: Enhancing Satellite Imagery for Energy Applications with Deep Learning-Based Super-Resolution

Presented by Kira Dickey

March26

Session Name: Digital Data Alchemy: AI transforming Geoscience Data
This presentation discusses how Satellite Super-Resolution (SSR) technology, powered by deep learning, provides an affordable and scalable way to obtain high-resolution satellite imagery for the energy industry. It highlights SSR's asset tracking, site evaluation, and environmental monitoring capabilities. It showcases a model that combines Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and Vision Transformers (ViTs) to produce super-resolved images with significantly enhanced detail.


Wednesday, March 26 | 12:00-12:50
Strategic Session: How to Generate the Pull? Increasing Readiness for the Next Technology
Josh Etkind, CEO

March26

Roundtable Discussion: 
This session will address the user’s perspective. With the digital shift, G&G domain experts face new ways of data management, new ways of working with new solutions in a new ecosystem. How can the industry ensure that the upsides of digitalization are properly understood, managed and communicated? How to minimize the cost of such changes, being the learning curve itself, the feeling of being overwhelmed with too much data that sometimes is not properly quality-checked, the large amounts of outputs generated? Users’ acceptance is a key-element for a successful adoption that will bring the right value to the industry.


Thursday, March 27 | 9:30 - 13:30
Hackathon 1: Innovate with Geoscience Co-Pilot Systems

March27

For data scientists and experts in the geoscience field, this task is tailored to your advanced skill set. We will provide comprehensive training on creating agents for geoscience co-pilot systems. Your challenge will be to design and invent agents that can significantly enhance the everyday workflows of geoscience professionals. This task will leverage the latest GPUs, ensuring you have access to top-tier computational power for your innovative projects. Expect plenty of hands-on experience and opportunities to collaborate with fellow experts, pushing the frontiers of what GenAI can achieve in geoscience.

Thursday, March 27 | 9:30 - 13:30
Hackathon 2: Challenge the GenAI System

March27

This task is open to everyone, regardless of your technical background. We will provide participants with a ready-made GenAI system that has been meticulously engineered to prevent hallucinations. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to challenge this system by asking it tricky and complex questions. Test the limits of its capabilities, explore its responses, and try to uncover any weaknesses. This is a fantastic opportunity for those interested in artificial intelligence to engage with cutting-edge technology and gain hands-on experience in a fun and competitive environment.
