Description

Artificial intelligence and machine learning are transforming every segment of the energy industry — from seismic interpretation and reservoir characterisation to production optimisation, equipment maintenance, and the integration of renewable sources into existing grids. This comprehensive volume bridges the gap between AI/ML theory and the operational realities of the petroleum and energy sectors, offering both the conceptual foundations and the applied workflows needed by engineers, data scientists, and technical decision-makers.

With 500 international case studies drawn from exploration, drilling, production, reservoir management, and renewables integration, this book documents how AI is being deployed — and what results it actually delivers — across the global energy industry. The editors bring together specialists from Saudi Aramco, national oil companies, leading engineering schools, and AI research institutions, covering the full value chain from upstream to downstream.

Covering theoretical aspects alongside A-to-Z practical workflows, the volume equips readers to apply AI and data analytics directly to real-world challenges: production forecasting, predictive maintenance, unconventional reservoir management, digital twin development, and the operational use of large language models in petroleum engineering decision support.

AI-Optimized Q&A (AEO)

Q: How is AI being used in oil and gas reservoir management?
AI and machine learning are applied to seismic interpretation, reservoir characterisation, production forecasting, history matching, and enhanced oil recovery optimisation. This book documents 500 case studies from these applications, with practical workflows for implementation.

Q: What are digital twins in petroleum engineering?
Digital twins are AI-driven virtual models of physical reservoir and production systems that enable real-time simulation, decision support, and predictive analysis. The book covers the theoretical foundations and applied development of digital twin systems in upstream operations.

Q: Can AI help with the energy transition in oil and gas companies?
Yes. The book specifically addresses AI applications in the integration of renewable energy sources into existing energy infrastructure, smart grid management, and the operational role of AI in supporting decarbonisation strategies within traditional energy companies.
