A task performed by Petroleum Engineers
Analyze data to recommend placement of wells and supplementary processes to enhance production.
Not yet. Workers want this automated (3/5), but experts rate today's AI capability at only 2/5, the technology isn't there. It's an R&D Opportunity.

How to automate this
Workers want this gone, but today's tools only get part of the way. Automate the edges.
Analyzing & processing data
Let the spreadsheet or a BI tool do the math and the charts.
- 1Set up formulas and pivot tables once, so the numbers you need to analyze data to recommend placement of wells and supplementary processes to enhance production recalculate themselves.
- 2Connect a free dashboard so reports refresh themselves (Looker Studio, Power BI).
- 3Use AI to summarise the findings, but keep the numbers in the spreadsheet.
