Prepare conceptual design
How prepare conceptual design are reshaped as AGI capability advances.
The bottom line
Roughly 85% of the work in Prepare conceptual design is information-shaped — already within reach of AI delivery. The question here is not whether it shifts, but which tasks go first and who staffs the residual.
Why: With no child occupations seeded, this score derives from the process name 'Prepare conceptual design' within the 'Oil and Gas Extraction' industry anchor. Although the broader industry is highly physical, the specific task of preparing a conceptual design relies on engineering analysis, reservoir modeling, and drafting—information transformation tasks performed primarily on computers, making the work inherently digital.

Read as an executable program — the work decomposed into Code, Generative, Agentic, and Human.
Prepare conceptual design sits inside a larger value-flow — 1 parent structure it composes into. The hierarchy is grounding, not the story: it tells you which aggregate exposure Prepare conceptual design inherits.

How the work flows
Trigger: A decision to proceed with field development is authorized following successful reservoir exploration and appraisal.
- Define project scope and field development objectives
- Identify and evaluate alternative development concepts
- Conduct preliminary technical and economic feasibility studies
- Select the optimal development concept
- Develop high-level capital and operating cost estimates
- Compile and review the conceptual design package
- Secure approval to transition to FEED
Outcome: A finalized conceptual design package, detailing the selected development option and high-level cost estimates, is approved for front-end engineering design (FEED).
