際際滷s that I presented at the International University Geophysics Competition (IUGC) 2022 in Institut Teknologi Bandung as a guest speaker. I presented about the challenge and opportunities of AI in oil and gas exploration, and some use cases in the energy sector.

2. What is AI? Supervised learning
What song should I listen to after
I wake up in the morning at 7
am?
I want to hear hip hop
genre. Suggest me a
song to listen too now.
The algo learns from your
daily behavior (as
teacher) e.g. what songs
did you listen at 7 am and
9 pm this month
The algo does clustering
of songs based on genre
and tempo of song
Imagine we have smartphone
that can recommend us song to
listen
Reinforcement learning
Unsupervised learning
I dont like this song, its too
slow and mellow. Can you
search a more energetic
song?
The algo learns from
mistake and continue to
optimize result
What task to perform?
You dont teach the machine
Listening to music
How machine does it?
You teach the machine
Mistake is the teacher
AI is a computer algorithm that
mimics human intelligence to do
something beyond what
human can do
3. Macroeconomic drivers of AI adoption in O&G
Oil and gas companies invest in AI when oil price
is low to reduce exploration costs and gain
e鍖ciency
COVID-19 causes oil price
to drop signi鍖cantly to
level of USD10/bbl
O&G companies decided to
cut exploration cost
Digitalization helps
company to save CAPEX
and OPEX while gain
e鍖ciency of exploration
4. AI is about Value Creation
3D seismic acquisition
USD 2 Billion
Deepwater drilling
USD 30-60 Million
Upstream conducts data acquisition just to
collect more data
Instead, AI can be used to 鍖nd new prospects
based on data from nearby wells or 鍖elds
Total exploration
cost can be
billions of USD

6. Companies and Government are drivers of open data for public
Equinor disclosed terrabytes of data open for public.
The mission is to foster subsurface research.

Norwegian North Sea
Hywind Tampen, wind
farm in Scotland
Sleipner 鍖eld CCS (CO2
storage)
Northern Lights CCS (CO2
storage)
UK government through Oil and Gas Authority owns
a portal of open oil and gas 鍖eld records and
datasets in the North Sea
7. Cloud Megaplayers
Products like Cegal enables
user to run reservoir static
mapping in cloud
Cloud technology enables more oil and gas
companies to develop low-cost work鍖ows
such as data processing and AI
Reduced storage cost
8. Open Subsurface Data Universe (OSDU)
OSDU is a universal
platform for digital oil and
gas companies
Reduce silos of data
between sectors
Accelerate cloud
computing of
subsurface workflows
Develop AI workflows
10. Spatial reservoir prediction

11. Seismic Fault Segmentation Automation in fault picking using computer
vision based segmentation on 3D seismic data
Output fault probability map
Reduced time in expert interpretation
12. Missing Sonic Log Recovery
Machine learning can be used to predict and generate
synthetic sonic log on the interval where the log does
not exist
