Key players in the oil and gas sector are leveraging big data analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) to improve decision-making processes and thereby increase revenue. These businesses gather immense quantities of raw data associated with the operations of refineries, pipelines, and other infrastructures through numerous sensors spread across the oil rig. Through the application of big data analytics, these firms can identify patterns that enable them to respond promptly to unexpected changes or potential flaws, thereby reducing expenditures. AI empowers these businesses to make superior drilling and operational decisions.
