About
Geoscience meets technology in the digitalization community.
New digital tools and applications can be catalysts and a competitive edge in better decision-making, evaluation, and improved inter-disciplinary subsurface understanding, in our efforts to to meet the energy demands of tomorrow!
Why?
Digitalization of the subsurface is a rapidly developing field. We are witnessing significant progress in embracing technology opportunities. Yet, there are still challenges and language barriers addressed.
At DIGEX, we lay a foundation for trust in new tools, data, and applications through the presentation of case studies, key learnings, and best practices to develop next-generation subsurface workflows.
For whom?
Geoscientists, data scientists, and digitalization professionals working within the subsurface domain in the traditional and renewable industries:
- Oil companies
- Service companies
- Technology providers
- Authorities
- Research and educational institutions

The utilization of large language models, such as ChatGPT, will significantly impact the way geoscientists and data scientists work. These tools provide a new way of discovering information, building models, and generating code.
So what are the actual implications for our work? How do we benefit? And how do we ensure reliability and trust?
In this panel discussion, we will dive into these questions, and hear from leading geoscientists and experts who have been experimenting with ChatGPT and subsurface data. What are the potential upsides, and what potential pitfalls must we be aware of?
