Artificial intelligence, machine learning and other digital technologies are set to reshape the global energy industry over the next decade, but their greatest value will come from strengthening, not replacing, human expertise, Chief Business Officer and Executive Vice President of Ryder Scott, Tosin Famurewa, has said.
He made the remarks at a panel session during the NAICE 2025 themed, “Building resilient energy systems in a rapidly evolving landscape” in Lagos.
He identified decision support, reservoir management and operational efficiency as three areas where artificial intelligence could have the greatest impact over the next five to 10 years.
“AI gives us an opportunity to extract insights from data at a scale and speed that simply wasn’t possible before,” Famurewa said.
He explained that AI systems could analyse thousands of development scenarios, identify patterns and reduce the amount of time engineers spend on repetitive analytical work.
