VIDEO: Using big data to solve complex problems
New technological applications are lowering energy intensity and cutting emissions at Aramco.
The capture and analysis of large volumes of data, otherwise known as “big data,” has produced sweeping solutions to complex problems. This technology helps us to mine colossal amounts of information to identify patterns – and then predict what will happen next.
Big data can forecast the weather, prevent cybercrime, and develop new medicines. And, alongside other machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI), it’s revolutionizing how many sectors operate.
This includes oil and gas, where big data presents huge opportunities. Already, it’s amplifying efficiency and production, reducing emissions, and enhancing operations at every level. And similar techniques can unlock breakthroughs along the entire energy-production chain.
