Stick-on Digital Eyes, Ears, and Brain: No Fuss Physical AI for the Field (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Oil and gas companies have invested billions in SCADA, sensors and other technologies to understand what's happening with their equipment. Yet field workers still spend huge amounts of time driving to remote assets simply to inspect them. Experienced operators can see, hear and sense things that conventional instrumentation misses. Those blind spots have consequences. Equipment problems can go unnoticed until they become failures. Workers make unnecessary truck rolls. Maintenance becomes reactiv
Can AI Actually Help Us Think? Using Structured AI For High-Stakes Decisions (opens the original)
Read excerpt
AI can help us quickly when we need to make decisions . But when executives are making high-stakes decisions about pipelines , energy infrastructure, capital investments or geopolitical risk , a quick answer isn't necessarily a good answer. Insight into the decision is fragmented across organizations, external information is difficult to assess, and misinformation, competing interests and human bias all complicate the picture. General-purpose AI tools can sort of help solve this problem. I find

Can Canada Become An Energy Superpower? Yes, But It Will Take More Than Slogans (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Energy superpower is a fine marketing slogan. In fact, lots of countries have stated their ambition to become the next energy superpower, but oddly, no one spells out what that actually means. Fortunately, there is a rigorous academic definition for energy superpowerhood, which ranks the EU, the U.S., and China as the world's true energy superpowers. All others are pretenders, Canada included, despite its obvious oil and gas resources. What would it take to become a true energy superpower, and i
Agentic AI Is All The Rage: Reducing The Cognitive Burden On The Workforce (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Industrial AI is into a new phase. Agentic AI is software that can plan, reason, learn, and act with far greater independence than traditional automation. While the technology is advancing quickly, the oil and gas industry faces unique technical, regulatory, and operational challenges that make full autonomy far less straightforward. In this episode, I share what agentic AI actually is, why it differs from conventional automation, and why the industry's aging assets, fragmented data, safety requ
