World Oil Deep Dive

In this episode, World Oil sat down with Ron Beck, Senior Director, Group Marketing, Subsurface, Science and Engineering, AspenTech, to explore AspenTech's subsurface intelligence (ASI), an AI-powered environment transforming upstream oil and gas exploration. Ron details how ASI accelerates decision-making, enhances collaboration, and integrates advanced AI and cloud technologies to optimize production and reduce costs.

This episode, live from the Offshore Technology Conference, features Nova Scotia's Premier Tim Houston discussing the province's energy potential, AI-driven innovations in upstream oil and gas, and strategic initiatives to revitalize the industry. Key topics include offshore exploration, AI applications and Nova Scotia's path to becoming an energy superpower.

Electric Submersible Pumps [ESPs] have played an important role for decades in supplying the world with oil, from both land and offshore environments, and across oil provinces throughout the world. In this episode, Jeff Knight, Senior Applications Engineer, NOV, provides perspective on how these pumps have grown in use and their importance since the late 1990s, particularly from the standpoint of the U.S. Permian Basin. We will explore improvements in technology since then, along with the acute challenges posed by the shale oil/unconventional era over the past 15 years. We will discuss what may drive expansions of ESP usage in the future; and what technology improvements might be forthcoming.

In this episode of the World Oil Podcast, leaders from Weatherford, Xecta, AWS, and Umbrage explore how collaboration and open innovation are redefining success across the energy sector. The discussion examines when to specialize versus integrate, how former competitors are co-creating value, and what it takes to build cultures that foster true joint success. From intelligent edge solutions to open digital ecosystems like the Weatherford LaunchPad, the conversation highlights how strategic partnerships are accelerating transformation and driving measurable impact across the oil and gas value chain.To view the video, click here.

In the inaugural episode of World Oil’s AI in Energy podcast series, host Greg Trostel from Rockwell Automation is joined by Phil Schwarz, senior industry strategist at OpenText. Together, they explore how artificial intelligence is reshaping the oil and gas industry, from production optimization and data workflows to safety and sustainability. Phil draws on decades of experience to discuss how AI is revolutionizing the man-machine relationship, predictive maintenance, and information management. Tune in for insights on the future of AI in energy, cybersecurity, and much more.

In this Podcast, we delve into the dynamic world of energy production and the critical role of mature assets in addressing the energy trilemma: security, affordability, and sustainability. Our guest, Malvika Nagarkoti, shares insights from her extensive technical career journey, highlighting experiences from working offshore to leading production optimization strategies at Baker Hughes. She will also discuss the significance of mature assets in providing shorter cycle, lower cost, and lower carbon footprint barrels, making them a vital component in meeting global energy demands.Listeners will gain valuable insights into the challenges and solutions for optimizing production in mature fields, including advanced technologies, innovative strategies, and proactive interventions. We also touch on the importance of digital platforms like Leucipa and StimVision in diagnosing and solving production issues, ultimately extending field life and improving ROI.
