Abstract: With the industry’s move to digitization, optimization, and efficiency, the oil and gas industry is doing an impressive job of incorporating computers and system to augment human thinking and decision making. This move has played a crucial role in drilling multiple 3-Dimensional wells. This presentation discusses the cultural shift from a manually intensive task during the drilling process and how AI frameworks are continually being implemented to drive productivity, safety, and efficiency.
