Reinventing Turnarounds with AI: Link Planning Directly to Execution
About this episode
This episode discusses how AI can improve turnaround planning and execution in the oil and gas industry.
Turnarounds are one of the most critical and expensive activities in oil and gas, yet many are still managed using spreadsheets, manual coordination, and tribal knowledge. Despite years of investment in digital systems, there remains a persistent gap between turnaround planning and execution in the field. This gap creates real consequences. Turnarounds often run into the hundreds of millions of dollars, and delays of even a single day can result in millions in lost production. At the same time, safety compliance is frequently based on self-declared reporting rather than verified outcomes, and frontline workers are expected to operate with tools that were never designed for how turnaround work actually happens. The question is how to connect turnaround planning directly to execution without adding complexity. Advances in artificial intelligence, mobile technology, and workflow design are enabling organizations to automate large portions of turnaround planning, connect back-office systems with field execution, and validate work using real data captured on site. In this episode, I speak with Pankaj Pawan , CEO and founder of Maximl , about how his company is reinventing turnarounds…
