What makes an AI useful for the oil and gas industry?

The oil and gas industry is humming with excitement about Artificial Intelligence. At Regaware, we believe that an AI for the industry must be useful.  Eight principals guide our approach for a useful oil and gas AI.

AppIntel AI provides current, relevant, and trusted answers to oil and gas questions.  Answers that peer into the workings of your competitors’ operations.

The earliest mention of AI in the AppIntel AI dataset is in a AER hearing in 2009.

The eight principals that guide our approach for a useful oil and gas AI include:

• Trust
• Very Current
• Industry specific
• Broad Appeal
• Portable access
• No Fluff
• Answer questions

Trust

AI delivered content must be very trustworthy.  Oil industry puts lives at stake – there cannot be any doubt as to the trust of AI content.  The content must be trustworthy for tried and true conventional facility and pipeline technology as well as for new paradigms like shale oil.

AppIntel AI is not like other popular large language models.  Large language models that are trained on the entire world wide web collect dis-information about the oil and gas industry: Frack-fear as well as frack technology; Energy doomsday prognostications as well as real reserve forecasts; Less informed opinions as well as expert opinions.  As a result, these pop AIs generate incorrect answers to simple oil and gas questions.

AppIntel AI content is vetted by a picky regulator.  The regulator is a very picky adjudicator. They want all the technical details. They dig in and question everything.

Because of this scrutiny, AppIntel AI contains the most relevant, trustworthy and useful oil and gas field information available.

Current

A useful oil and gas AI must be as current as this morning.  Technology changes quickly in the industry. 

Unless it can deal with today’s issues, an AI that only has last year’s data is useless.  AIs that take years to train are not useful in a fast paced industry like ours.

AppIntel AI sends email alerts of leading indicators several times a day on breaking news.  It sends proximity alerts of competitor’s business changes within 5, 10, and 20 miles of your operation.  It sends hit alerts on new field installations of your favourite technologies. It sends watch alerts on your favourite complicated AER hearings and applications.

Industry Specific

To be useful, an oil and gas AI must be made in the industry for the industry.  It will not be for general consumption or the food industry or big pharma. 

AppIntel AI is made here for here. It is made using oil industry data with oil industry workers in mind.

AppIntel AI is focused on inside oil and gas industry information.  All of the content has been vetted and milked for relevance and accuracy by picky regulators.

Broad Appeal

An AI must be useful for everyone in the industry including: geologists, vice presidents, drillers, frackers, petroleum engineers, facility engineers, investment bankers, lawyers, etc.

AppIntel AI has maps for geoscientists; flow diagrams for facilities engineers, recovery for petroleum engineers, as well as waste disposal, tailing ponds, environmental studies, scheme expansions, production increases, and many, many other indicators for virtually everyone in the industry.

Portable Access

A user should be able to access a useful AI anywhere, any time.

AppIntel AI allows access from phones, tablets, Chromebooks, Macs or PCs.  You can even access AppIntel on Amazon fire televisions and similar entertainment devices.

No Fluff

A useful oil and gas AI doesn’t need fluff. Doesn’t matter if it sounds like Scarlett Johansen or any other movie star. 

AppIntel AI doesn’t need a speaking voice.  It doesn’t speak in sentences with an authoritative tone. 

AppIntel’s creators are not spending time training an AI to speak in natural language, to write your reports or your company barbeque advertisements.

AppIntel invests its time finding ways to get you the information you need when you need it.

Answer questions

A useful oil and gas AI should answer oil and gas questions. 

AppIntel AI answers questions like:

70,000 hours of AI training

AppIntel AI is a result of 70,000 hours of training on government application documents.  AppIntel is trained to classify information by location in the basin (TWP-RNG), formation, and permeability. It also classified information by operation type: reservoir resource exploitation, natural gas plant, SAGD, CSS, exploration, waste handling, tight sands, injectants, regulatory compliance, acquisitions, and many other categories.
