Data and Digital
Objective
To promote the use of data & digital technology to gain additional insight, support better decision making, reduce risk and improve efficiency across offshore energy sectors.
Plans 2026
The workstream plan has three components which combine industry engagement, solution trials and longer-term industry strategy in Data and Digital:
- Industry engagement: run demonstrators of good data & digital success cases and provide updates on best practices to support AI readiness
- Demonstrators: Support inflight proof of concepts (Wells P&A)
- AI adoption workshop: with a focus on case studies showing successful AI implementations, aiming to make AI uses more understandable and raise the potential for wider application and adoption
Progress
Industry engagement to date has highlighted its digital immaturity across Data, People, Innovation and Technology. Overcoming barriers currently limiting data sharing among companies and increasing integration between offshore energy sectors will require further evolution of data infrastructure, tools and technologies to allow planning and operational data to be accessed and shared to meet the challenge of decarbonising and enable development of Robotics, Artificial Intelligence and Autonomous Systems.
Inflight project: Well P&A Collab
- Use AI to reduce manual effort of well data collation, QC and interrogation
- Enable GPT style questioning of large P&A datasets
- Assess potential of creation / optimisation of P&A campaign planning
- Initial pilot benchmark complete
