    This session will explore how digital twins, AI-driven analytics, and integrated operational workflows are helping production and operations teams move from monitoring to proactive, scalable decision-making. The discussion will address how data, physics-based models, machine learning, and operational platforms can enable faster diagnosis, production optimization, and more reliable field decisions. Industry case studies will highlight how these capabilities are being applied to improve asset performance, reduce operational risks, and support proactive field management. The session will also examine key challenges related to data quality, technology integration, change management, and scaling digital solutions across complex operational environments.

  12. 90 mins

    Chairs: Augusto Borella, Intelie; Robinson Luiz Souza Garcia, Petrobras

    This session explores how advanced digital capabilities—including AI, predictive analytics, digital twins, and IIoT—are transforming asset integrity, logistics, and long-term asset life cycle performance. Attendees will discover how operators leverage these integrated data platforms to transition from reactive to predictive maintenance, optimize complex offshore and onshore supply chains, and extend the productive life of mature assets while driving down OPEX and emissions. Through real-world case studies, the session will address both the practical values of these technologies and the critical scaling challenges, from legacy system integration and data quality to the change management needed to empower the frontline workforce.

  13. 90 mins

    Chairs: Constantino Nino, SPE Macae Section – Technology Advisor; Alex Chambers, Cognite 

    This session will showcase how advanced digital technologies are transforming drilling and well intervention operations. Topics include Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), Digital Twins, automation, real-time analytics, and data-driven decision-making to improve operational efficiency, well integrity, safety, and cost performance.

  14. 90 mins

    Chairs: Carlos Calad, Lupatech; Fred Clarke, Stepchange Global Consultancy Ltd

    High well count fields and unconventional developments require scalable, intelligent solutions to manage operational complexity and maximize asset value. This session is dedicated to showcasing compelling case studies and practical applications illustrating the impact of Digital Transformation initiatives across these assets. The primary aim is to demonstrate how cutting-edge technologies—including artificial intelligence, machine learning, IIoT, automation, and advanced analytics—are being leveraged to optimize reservoir performance, enhance production operations, streamline logistics, and improve maintenance practices at scale.
    The session will also highlight how digital technologies are supporting sustainability objectives by reducing emissions, optimizing energy and water consumption, minimizing operational waste, and improving safety and reliability. By harnessing these innovations, operators can increase production, reduce costs, mitigate risks, and create long-term value while responsibly developing complex and rapidly expanding assets.

  15. 90 mins

    Chairs: Guilherme Veloso, SLB; Adriana Hernandez, Sierracol

    The oil and gas industry has proven the potential of advanced digital technologies through numerous pilots and targeted applications. The next challenge is scaling these solutions across assets and operations while ensuring long-term sustainability and measurable value. This session will explore practical cases involving artificial intelligence, computer vision, digital twins, IIoT, robotics, automation, and advanced analytics, with emphasis on integration with existing infrastructure, workforce adoption, governance, cybersecurity, lifecycle management, and value measurement. Presentations demonstrating successful scale-up, tangible operational outcomes, and candid lessons from implementation challenges are particularly encouraged.

  16. 90 mins

    Chairs: Tony Edwards, Stepchange Global Consultancy Ltd; Anderson Avila, Halliburton

    Remote and Autonomous operations are reshaping how oil and gas assets are managed, enabling operators to move toward integrated, data-driven operating models supported by Remote Operations Centers (ROCs), automation, and real-time decision systems. This session explores how companies are consolidating fragmented workflows into unified command structures, reducing personnel exposure, and advancing minimum manning strategies while maintaining operational performance and control.
    Attendees will examine real-world applications of autonomy across production operation, maintenance, drilling, completion, and intervention, alongside emerging approaches to governance, accountability, and performance measurement. The discussion will also highlight how artificial intelligence, digital workflows, and advanced monitoring systems are enabling a shift toward “management by exception,” allowing teams to focus on critical decisions rather than routine supervision. Ultimately, the session provides practical insights into the current state of the art for ROCs, scaling autonomous operations while improving efficiency, consistency, and resilience across the asset lifecycle.

  17. 90 mins

    Chairs: Carolina Barros, Falkor; Leonardo Machado, Shape Digital

    The application of advanced digital technologies is transforming offshore operations and enabling smarter, more efficient decision making. This session will explore how technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), automation, digital twins, and advanced analytics are being used to improve production performance, asset reliability, predictive maintenance, remote operations, and real-time monitoring.
    The discussion will also highlight how digital solutions support sustainability goals by reducing emissions, optimizing energy consumption, improving safety, and extending asset life. Through practical applications and industry case studies, participants will gain insights into how digital innovation is driving operational excellence across offshore facilities.

  18. 90 mins

    Chairs: Marcos Bonfim, PetroReconcavo, Andres Gibson, Darcy Partners

    HSSE performance is key to running a successful operational asset. How can the latest data technologies such as AI, ML, Digital Twin and mobile worker technology be used to improve our HSSE and Integrity management performance?  This session will show case latest case studies of  best practice application of these technologies to a critical set of operational processes.

  19. 90 mins

    Chairs: Heber Almeida Barbosa, Petrobras; Maria Eugenia Peyrebonne Bispe, Tachuys

    As the oil and gas industry deepens its Digital Transformation journey, the human dimension emerges as both the greatest enabler and the most underestimated challenge. Companies worldwide—and especially in Brazil—must reconcile energy security, decarbonization targets, and growing societal expectations while navigating workforce transformation, AI governance, and the cultural shifts required to turn digital investment into lasting operational value.

    This session will explore how people, data, and technology are being strategically combined to deliver safer, more reliable, and more sustainable operations. Presentations will address real-world applications of AI—including generative AI—advanced analytics, digital twins, IIoT, and automation at scale. Equally, the session will examine the organizational dimensions of transformation: change management, workforce upskilling and reskilling, responsible AI adoption, cybersecurity awareness, and inclusive digital practices that extend to frontline workers and local communities.

    Drawing on lessons learned from global and Brazilian operations, attendees will gain practical insights into how aligning people strategies with digital investments can unlock long-term resilience, competitiveness, and a truly sustainable energy future.
