Human-Centered Automation: AI In Water Management

Water management is a critical aspect of oil and gas production, particularly as the industry faces increasing environmental regulations, operational challenges, and sustainability demands. In this first installment of our blog series Human-Centered Automation, we explore how Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing water management practices in oil and gas operations, enabling companies to optimize resources, reduce costs, and minimize environmental impact.
