Thu, 20 Aug 2026 17:45:00 GMT

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence is transforming the energy industry by enabling organizations to make smarter decisions, improve operational efficiency, and unlock new sources of value. Across the energy value chain, from exploration and production in the upstream sector, through transportation and processing in the midstream sector, to refining, marketing, and customer-facing operations in the downstream sector, AI is being applied to solve complex business and operational challenges.

This presentation will explore how AI is being leveraged across the energy value chain through real-world use cases and practical examples. Attendees will gain insights into the role of data, analytics, and AI in enhancing decision-making, optimizing operations, improving asset performance, and driving digital transformation.
