At the 2023 ADI Forum, Uday Turaga, CEO, ADI Analytics; Sheldon Harbinson, VP, Computer Modelling Group; Allie Thurmond, Asset Manager, US GoM Exploration, Equinor; and Maryam Schellstede, SVP of Planning and Development, University Lands participated in discussions on digital transformation in energy, highlighting the shift from siloed technologies to integrated end-to-end solutions. While adoption had lagged due to user hesitancy and reliance on spreadsheets, the industry reached a turning point, driven by rising expectations for seamless integration. The discussion also examined energy transition investments, weighing whether companies had moved too aggressively or were adjusting to market realities, as seen with BP’s revised investment strategy.
The panel explored energy storage, recognizing its critical role in transition efforts despite underinvestment compared to other sectors. Experts anticipated significant advancements based on geographic applications and storage type, though widespread adoption remained uncertain. Equinor emphasized balancing oil and gas optimization with energy transition, reaffirming its strategy amid evolving market conditions. The conversation highlighted global energy trends, stressing the importance of long-term strategic planning.
