The Oil & Gas
AI Keynote Speaker

An industry insider — OTC 2026 panelist and OGGN co-host — who builds the AI-governance systems he speaks about. Not generic futurism: what AI is actually deciding across your operation, and how your board stays in command of it.

Why book an industry insider

He’s in your industry — not visiting it for the keynote.

Most “AI speakers” give the same talk to a bank, a hospital, and a drilling contractor. This is different: co-hosting the Oil & Gas Sales & Marketing podcast, moderating the AI panel at OTC 2026 alongside Bechtel and Rockwell Automation, and running governance for capital-intensive operators. Your audience hears their own world — upstream to downstream — not a generic deck.

What the keynote covers — across the value chain

Upstream

AI in exploration, drilling, and production decisions — and who’s accountable when a model is wrong.

Midstream

Pipeline, logistics, and trading models making calls faster than humans can audit them.

Downstream

Refining, demand, and customer-facing AI — and the visibility risk of being mis-represented to buyers.

Oilfield services

Vendor AI in your supply chain — the decisions you inherit without governing.

The four ideas your audience leaves with
01

AI is already deciding

What you’re recommended for, screened out of, and priced on — happening now, mostly unseen.

02

Visibility is revenue risk

LLMs decide whether your company gets recommended to buyers, partners, and capital.

03

Govern without stalling

Move AI from pilot to production while keeping the board able to see and answer for it.

04

Four jurisdictions

Federal, state, sector, and EU AI rules — one obligation picture leaders can act on.
