Develop new upstream petroleum-related technologies
How develop new upstream petroleum-related technologies are reshaped as AGI capability advances.
The bottom line
About 65% of the work in Develop new upstream petroleum-related technologies is information-shaped and increasingly AI-deliverable, with the rest a hybrid of judgment and hands-on work. The automation frontier runs straight through the middle of this role.
Why: Lacking child occupations, the score relies on the process name and industry anchor. While the 'Oil and Gas Extraction' industry is heavily physical, the process of developing new technologies is an R&D and engineering function. This blends digital knowledge work like computational modeling and seismic data analysis with physical prototyping and lab testing, landing it in the upper hybrid band.

How the work flows
Trigger: An operational limitation or strategic gap in exploration and extraction processes demands a novel technological solution.
- Identify exploration and production limitations to target for R&D
- Screen proposed technological concepts for feasibility
- Conduct laboratory testing and develop prototypes
- Execute field pilots in controlled extraction environments
- Evaluate pilot performance against baseline operational metrics
- Refine designs and transition the technology for deployment
Outcome: A validated upstream technology is approved and transitioned into active field operations.
