My Personal Statement

The document discusses the potential applications of artificial intelligence in the oil and gas industry. It notes that oil and gas is a huge industry made up of upstream, midstream, and downstream sectors. It then describes how AI tools can help oil and gas companies digitize records, automate analysis of geological data, identify issues like pipeline corrosion over time, and extract data from inspection reports. Other benefits mentioned include utilizing AI to better analyze large amounts of production, drilling, and pipeline data to reduce costs of exploration, extraction, processing and delivery. The document also discusses how AI can help with seismic mapping and analysis, safety-critical decisions, and faster drilling and blasting decisions. It concludes by stating that application of AI will become increasingly important

My journey into the discipline of computer science started at school.

I learned Programming basics


and General problem solving there. I have always enjoyed maths and logical reasoning so writing
computer programs quickly became my favorite activity.
My main interests in the field relate to AI and Robotics; the synergy between them and the raw
potential captivates me. My desire to study AI stems from my enduring belief that further
innovations in intelligent, autonomous systems will change the world.
During my service (NYSC), I was assigned with the task of ICT support in a computer learning
center. I found this a good use for my IT knowledge and also gained an understanding of how
problems are dealt with in a business type environment.

I love creating web apps but my real passion is Artificial Intelligence.

Despite a slow start, oil and gas companies now seem eager to adopt all sorts of digital technology
to keep costs low and boost efficiency. The application of AI technologies seems to be the next step
for the industry, as it continues to seek solutions to boost growth.

Oil and gas is a huge industry made up of three major operational sectors: upstream (exploration
and production), midstream (transportation and storage) and downstream (refining and selling).

Today, with the help of advanced sensors and software powered by AI, businesses are able to not
only process a large amount of data but also output real-time responses on the best course of action.
AI tools can help oil and gas companies digitize their records and automate the analysis of
geological data charts. Over time, these records can help identify issues like pipeline corrosion.

Most drilling and production wells are located in remote areas, which means sending workers there
significantly increases costs. Oil well operators usually generate daily reports on inspection and
maintenance operations on site; these reports are semi-structured. Oil and gas companies can now
use AI technologies (computer vision) to extract data from these documents automatically.
Other AI-based analytics can help companies better utilize the large amounts of data – production
process data, drilling operations data, pipeline inspection data – collected from their plants daily.
These analytics, ultimately, reduce the cost of exploring, extracting, processing and delivering oil.

AI also has the capabilities to help companies map and analyze the seismic activity in a potential
oilfield. Utilizing an AI assistant can also help workers make safety-critical decisions in real time
and handle the ever-growing complexity of engineering systems. AI can also help companies make
better, faster drilling and blasting decisions.

This I believe will only be fulfilled if I could reach an institution of higher learning which enjoys
worldwide repute and that encourages multicultural diversity in its student body as well as
promoting the needs of students of modest backgrounds.
Nigeria is a developing country with an enormous potential in the information technology business.
To serve the needs of its oil & gas industry, application of AI is going to become of utmost
importance.
