Objectivity in a World of Uncertainty    
            
Early-stage decision-making for major oil and gas projects is complex due to an environment of evolving stakeholder requirements, technology innovation, and the uncertain outcome of hydrocarbon resource opportunities. The changing energy landscape coupled with the adoption of AI are also proving to be disruptive – an array of challenges and uncertainties not unfamiliar in the application of multiphase flow measurement. As an operator or a supplier of multiphase flow measurement systems, how best to navigate this world of uncertainty, and ensure the correct technical and business choices are made? I will offer my perspective on how to maintain objectivity and address the challenges of decision-making in the current environment, with anecdotes and suggestions from experiences inside and outside of measurement.
