Too busy to use oil and gas AI?
Producers are busy making many successful technical and operational choices. They think that looking around at other ideas, including AI, is a distraction.
Oil and gas AI incites high speed acquisition, exploration, and formation evaluation. It provides exceptional approvals, operations, and cost control. That is not a distraction from the business of oil and gas, it is an enhancement to the business.
The oil and gas industry has impediments to artificial intelligence adoption. One of these impediments is a distraction bias:
Siri, We are too busy for AI
Operators say, "We're successful with the technical and operational choices we've made. Looking around at other ideas, including AI, is a distraction."
For example, handle-grabbing on response to the global tariff wars and the Middle East war consumes all their focus. "We need to report to boards and investors as to how these political moves affect us.”
Too busy to add production?
AI tech is a catapult into quicker exploration and production. For example, AppIntel speeds up the process of geoscience modelling by peeking at a competitor's maps.
Are oil companies really too busy to increase oil production? The risk is biggest for slow adopters who are being left behind by relying on old ideas and technology.
Sooner or later, every oil and gas company moves beyond the busy and gets back to the business of oil and gas. The rest of the industry is already pushing forward.
AppIntel AI Return on Investment
AppIntel AI can help add $20 million by
helping you copy the success of others.
If another week has slipped by, it cost you $100 thousand in cash flow. The opportunity cost adds up quickly.
Too busy running budget – fired
I knew an engineer/manager who was so busy running budget that he hired me to handle the engineering business of adding production for his department. In fact, after he finished running budget, the company asked him to run budget a second time with a tweak in the inputs.
But after he finished the second budget they let him go. The company decided they couldn’t afford a person just to run budgets.
They kept me to keep adding production and reserves.
It was not fair to him. They asked him to spend his time running budgets. But fair or not, they let him go.
That taught me to keep my eye on the real business of adding production and reserves.
Artificial intelligence (AI) that moves the needle
AppIntel AI adds production and reserves. It helps win land sales. It lets you copy successes of the industry. It leads to higher production, more reserves, lower operating costs.
When you get back to the business of oil and gas from your detour in budget land, or reserves routine, or Trump tariffs, let AppIntel AI help you add production and reserves.
