Digital transformation and artificial intelligence (AI) play a special role in modern industry. They allow expanding the functional completeness of traditional methods, technologies and software tools, developing new methods based on intelligent computing technologies, and creating new data models designed for multidimensional data analysis, modeling and forecasting. Active application of these solutions is observed in the processes of monitoring, evaluating, making design and management decisions, performing time-consuming and multifunctional tasks and analyses. The AI introduction in the oil and gas industry improves the efficiency of design processes and increases the productivity of applied technologies.
The article discusses the possibilities of using AI methods for planning, design, development, forecasting and achieving high results in the field of oil and gas production. Such methods can significantly reduce costs during the design, construction and operation of oil and gas fields by increasing the productivity and speed of project work, improving the quality of work performed and significantly reducing the number of design errors and their timely correction. AI methods are able and allow to increase the level of safety and manage environmental research and natural resources more effectively by eliminating the human factor in monitoring and forecasting processes. AI tools make it possible to increase the efficiency of the use of labor and financial resources, reduce time costs, and optimize production processes during the hydrocarbons extraction. AI tools are used to interpret the results of 3D design and laser scanning, in engineering geology and geodesy, environmental surveys, designing highways and linear objects and solving organizational and managerial tasks in the design and construction of oil and gas facilities. The authors of the article systematized the AI capabilities, methods and in the field of oil and gas production, and showed the possibilities to improve design and survey work through AI use. The ways to further innovative development of AI tools are suggested as a key direction of digital transformation of the oil and gas industry.
