Conference Alert-Digitalization in Oil and Gas

Too much agreement kills a chat. -- Eldridge Cleaver

The Energy Conference Network (https://energyconferencenetwork.com/ ) has announced the Digitalization in Oil and Gas conference (https://www.digitalizationoilgas.com/23/2647079), scheduled for September 14-15, 2023 in Houston, Texas.

REGISTRANTS include … Aramco, Dow, ExxonMobil, Sabic, Chevron … to name a few.

The conference is organized into FIVE TRACKS … IoT in Oil & Gas, Digital Twins in Oil & Gas, Blockchain in Oil & Gas, Edge Computing Technologies in Oil & Gas, and Connectivity in Oil & Gas.

Industrial Engineering with Large Language Models: A case study of ChatGPT's performance on Oil & Gas problems
Large Language Models (LLMs) have shown great potential in solving complex problems in various fields, including oil and gas engineering and other industrial engineering disciplines like factory automation, PLC programming etc. However, automatic identification of strong and weak solutions to fundamental physics equations governing several industrial processes remain a challenging task. This paper identifies the limitation of current LLM approaches, particularly ChatGPT in selected practical problems native to oil and gas engineering but not exclusively. The performance of ChatGPT in solving complex problems in oil and gas engineering is discussed and the areas where LLMs are most effective are presented.

Blockchain in Oil and Gas Supply Chain: A Literature Review from User Security and Privacy Perspective (2023)
International Symposium on Human Aspects of Information Security and Assurance
The oil and gas industry grapples with supply chain process challenges and is known to have high risks, significant investments, and large asset volumes. These include (i) tracking extracted resources, (ii) managing equipment and assets, (iii) preventing company data leaks, (iv) managing data, and (v) ensuring process security and integrity. Such issues can result in human errors, misguided decisions due to inaccurate data, inflated operating costs, transaction delays, and fraud. Blockchain technology could provide solutions to some of these problems. For example, it facilitates reliable and secure data storage, ensuring data integrity. Additionally, blockchain-based smart contracts could deter oil trade fraud by automating contract execution when agreement conditions are met. By incorporating blockchain technology, businesses in the oil and gas sector can enhance their operations’ efficiency, transparency, and security, leading to improved decision-making and cost savings.
