Artificial Intelligence
in Oil & Gas.
Decisions, not demos.

The first executive program on AI in upstream oil & gas built around decisions — not tools. For leaders who evaluate proposals, govern investments, and stop weak initiatives before capital is committed.

Misunderstanding AI is no longer a technical gap. It is a strategic and career risk.

01
AI is everywhere — but you're not sure where to start or what to actually do
Fragmented pilots, vendor claims, and internal roadmaps with no clear decision logic.
02
Leadership demands an AI strategy — and you need to deliver one
Proposals land on your desk at $500K+. You need to know which questions to ask.
03
The industry is moving. You intend to lead — not follow
NOCs, majors, and independents are restructuring around AI. The window for positioning is now.

From fragmented pilots to investment-grade decisions

Before
Fragmented understanding across tools, vendors, and pilots
Weak link between AI initiatives and measurable business value
Limited confidence challenging AI roadmaps and vendor claims
No framework to evaluate a $500K proposal in 20 minutes
After
Clear view of where AI creates real upstream value — and where it doesn't
Structured method to assess feasibility and risk before capital is committed
Confident to design, prioritise — and stop — AI investments
Ability to frame AI decisions in board-level language

"You don't become an AI specialist. You become the person who makes the right decisions about AI — and can prove it."

Six modules. One governing logic: reality → foundations → applications → technology → strategy → leadership
