The Indian government is planning to launch an Artificial Intelligence (AI) mission for the oil and gas sector, as announced at the India Energy Week (IEW) 2025. This initiative aims to leverage AI solutions to enhance the efficiency and productivity of the oil and gas industry.
The Secretary at the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, Pankaj Jain, stated that the government will work on deploying AI solutions at scale within the Indian oil and gas industry. This move is expected to transform the sector by improving operational efficiency, reducing costs, and enhancing decision-making capabilities.
The oil and gas industry is already witnessing the impact of AI, with applications in areas such as exploration and production, predictive maintenance, and optimization of operations. The use of AI and machine learning techniques can help analyze vast amounts of data, identify patterns, and provide insights that can inform decision-making.
The IEW 2025 event has brought together global energy leaders, ministers, and CEOs to discuss the future of the energy sector. The event has also seen the launch of several reports, including OPEC's India Oil Demand Report and the International Energy Agency's (IEA) study on India's natural gas sector.
