AI is now utilized on offshore platforms and land facilities to solve industrial tasks on a large scale in a safe, efficient, and profitable manner.To achieve Equinor's ambition for the Norwegian continental shelf by 2035, and to contribute to energy security and continued value creation, AI is crucial.Hege Skryseth, executive vice president for Technology, Digital, and Innovation in EquinorPhoto: Ole Jørgen Bratland / ©Equinor“AI is a central part of our operations. Moving forward, AI will become even more important for solving industrial tasks safely, faster, more profitably, and at scale. With AI, we can analyse seismic data ten times faster, plan wells and field development in new and better ways and operate our facilities more efficiently. Industrial processes generate vast amounts of data, and we can use AI to 'produce' knowledge from this data. This has already been transformative and profitable, even though we are still early in the AI revolution,” says Hege Skryseth, executive vice president for Technology, Digital, and Innovati...
