This talk explores how Real-Time Well Engineering is being transformed through the convergence of data, automation, and Generative Artificial Engineering Intelligence (GenAeI). Moving beyond traditional digital transformation, this new paradigm enables wells to become self-configuring, self-diagnosing, self-healing, and self-optimizing. By embedding engineering microservices into digital well programs and integrating real-time data interpretation, GenAeI enables autonomous operations at scale, at speed, and at the edge. This session outlines the key components, benefits, and requirements of this shift—bridging engineering formalism with adaptive intelligence for next-generation well construction. In this Session you will learn,
Thinker, researcher, innovator, thought leader, futurist, author, educator, and educationist. He is regarded as one of the world’s most influential contributors to the advancement of research and practice in drilling engineering. Published more than 270 technical papers, 114 US patents, 132 worldwide patents, and 15 books, and taught more than 1500 students. Among his recent honors include: featured speaker at several conferences, an SPE/AIME Honorary Member, an SPE Distinguished Lecturer, the recipient of SPE International Drilling Engineering Award, SPE Gulfcoast Drilling Engineering Award, an SPE distinguished member, and an ABET commissioner.
