Introduction:

Artificial intelligence in the oil and gas sector represents a structural shift in how exploration, production, asset management, and risk control are governed at an institutional level. Its role is associated with data driven decision systems, automation architectures, and large scale operational intelligence across upstream, midstream, and downstream activities. This conference presents analytical frameworks, system models, data governance structures, and strategic integration approaches defining AI adoption in oil and gas organizations. It provides a general institutional perspective on how AI reshapes operational governance, performance oversight, and long term industry competitiveness.
