Leveraging AI to Improve Onshore Well Production

WORKSHOP LEADER:
Brad Davis, President, RIOT SCADA

Purpose of the Workshop:
In this workshop, we explore how the fusion of Field Data and Artificial Intelligence is revolutionizing onshore well production. We’ll demonstrate how AI analyzes large volumes of field data to improve operations while decreasing unscheduled downtime. We'll also tackle the challenges like data privacy and cost, but you'll walk away understanding that the future of safer, more responsible business lies in the nexus of Field Data and AI.

Learning Objectives and Takeaways:

✓ Understand the foundational concepts behind Generative AI and its relevance in wellsite automation.
✓ Identify the key applications where Generative AI can make a difference in onshore wellsite operations.
✓ Recognize the potential risks associated with implementing Generative AI and strategies to manage them effectively.
✓ Engage in interactive solution sharing to discuss real-world challenges and brainstorm potential solutions.
✓ Empower participants with the latest tools and strategies to integrate Generative AI in their operations responsibly.

Importance of the Topic:

Unfortunately, traditional SCADA Systems fail to deliver a Data Driven world because they don’t address one key fact:

NOT EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS WHAT THE DATA IS SAYING.
The age of automation has revolutionized the oil and gas industry. With the integration of Generative AI in onshore wellsite operations, companies can optimize processes, improve efficiency, and reduce operational costs.

Specific Challenges Addressed:

· Optimizing data inputs for Generative AI to make accurate predictions.

· Ensuring safety while automating crucial wellsite tasks.

· Regulatory and compliance issues surrounding the application of AI in the oil and gas sector.

· Handling potential AI biases and errors in real-time operations.

Digital Transformation & Change Management

WORKSHOP LEADER:
​Caleb Pierce
Vice President of Revenue Operations
AFTI WatchDog

Workshop Purpose: The Digital Transformation & Change Management workshop aims to equip participants with the knowledge and strategies needed to successfully navigate the evolving landscape of digital monitoring solutions. Participants will gain a greater understanding of the latest monitoring practices, learn to identify change champions within their organizations, explore integration strategies, and discover how to achieve maximum ROI. Participants will also have the opportunity to discuss how centralized data centers, big data analytics, task management, facility alarms, preventative maintenance schedules, SCADA alarms, third-party alarms, work orders, and data exceptions work in practice. Through interactive discussions and practical examples, attendees will leave with fresh insights and tools to help drive successful digital transformation initiatives within their organizations.
