Operationalizing AI in Midstream Oil and Gas: Use Cases, Benefits and Barriers
The Midstream Oil and Gas Landscape Is Complex
The Midstream sector is facing a convergence of pressures that is forcing operators to rethink their operating models. Aging infrastructure requires escalating maintenance spend while market volatility, from fluctuating commodity prices to shifting geopolitical landscapes, demands greater agility. At the same time, the sector must navigate a generational transition in its workforce, where seasoned operators are retiring and digital-native talent is scarce.
The operationalization of artificial intelligence (AI) within the Midstream sector can provide a path forward to address many of the barriers stifling value capture in the sector today. However, without a proper plan and structure in place, the use of AI can be ineffective and cost organizations millions.
AI Success Requires Strategy, Structure and the Right Partner
For Midstream operators, the path to AI maturity is not a sprint but a journey that requires deliberate planning and execution. Success starts with a robust business case that clearly outlines expected benefits, implementation costs and risk factors. Organizations must be prepared for a cultural shift, with strong change management and cross-functional collaboration to ensure that AI is embraced, not resisted, by operational teams.
