Pre-Conference Workshop & Masterclass - February 23, 2026

9:45 AM Move from Data Chaos to a Data Foundation Built for AI & Agentic AI in Energy

Today’s energy companies manage complex data ecosystems including legacy platforms, SAP and other large-scale ERPs, siloed datasets, and diverse control systems. While Agentic AI and Operational Intelligence are heavily hyped, achieving ROI and driving Top-line Revenue depends on a strong, intentional data strategy.

This interactive workshop helps you build a data foundation aligned to the six principles of AI-ready data. We’ll challenge traditional data approaches and explore a future-proof roadmap designed for scale.

Key Challenges Addressed:

  • Operational Complexity: Break down data silos across exploration, production, refining, trading, retail and more
  • Real-Time Requirements: Support millisecond response times in the field and at the trading desk
  • Scale & Geography: Manage petabyte-scale data with global governance and security
  • Regulatory Compliance: Enable audit-ready lineage and streamlined governance
  • Industry Context: Support data-intensive operations from exploration to regulatory compliance
  • Integration Bottlenecks: Reduce delays caused by fragmented storage and legacy systems
