AI in the Oil & Gas Industry in 30 Minutes

AI in the Oil & Gas Industry in 30 Minutes

This course provides a practical, non-technical introduction to how artificial intelligence is being applied across the upstream oil and gas industry. Designed specifically for finance, accounting, commercial, and business professionals, it focuses on understanding—not building—AI tools, and on interpreting their impact on operations, economics, and decision-making.

You will begin by clarifying what AI actually means in an upstream context, and how it differs from traditional automation and analytics. The course then explores where AI is being used across the value chain, including exploration, drilling, and production optimization. From there, the focus shifts to how AI supports financial analysis and economic evaluation—helping improve forecasting, cost management, and investment decisions.

Importantly, the course also addresses risks and governance. You will learn how data quality, model assumptions, and transparency affect reliability, and why strong oversight is essential.

The course concludes with practical guidance on getting started, along with a real-world case study that brings the concepts together.

By the end of the course, you will be able to engage confidently in AI-related discussions, ask better questions, and make more informed business decisions in an evolving digital upstream environment.

I look forward to seeing you in the course
