On May 19, 2025, the China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC) hosted a significant event in Beijing focused on the Information Technology Exchange Conference. This conference emphasized the development of new quality production capabilities within the oil and gas industry. The main theme of the event was “Intelligent Energy Production,” highlighting advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) technology and its integration into the fossil fuel sector.
The conference aimed to promote the adoption of AI in energy production by discussing various applications in real-world scenarios, including the latest outcomes in intelligent technology and its integration across different platforms. Participants had the opportunity to engage in in-depth discussions and broad exchanges on topics related to AI and energy.
“In the process of transitioning to an intelligent energy sector, we are leveraging collaboration with companies involved in oil and gas operations to provide numerous computational cluster solutions and software platforms,” a representative stated. “In the realm of intelligent energy, we emphasize edge computing, AI computing capabilities, and GPU-based image processing.”
At the conference, participants showcased various AI applications in energy systems management, achieved through innovative cooperation with cross-border oil enterprises, which contributed to a more than 5% increase in operational efficiency while achieving significant reductions in annual carbon emissions.
Furthermore, the conference featured discussions on visual AI inspection projects aimed at enhancing production setups, with expectations to elevate alerts to over 90%. These initiatives represent our latest IT capabilities in practical energy applications.
During the event, a panel of experts, including the Chief Information Officers (CIOs) from leading energy firms, shared insights on topics such as the Internet of Things (IoT), big data analytics, AI scalability, and energy security. A total of ten specialized sessions were organized, focusing on technology and implementation outcomes, with participation from 238 industry experts.
The discussions highlighted the importance of integrating AI into energy production and emphasized the need for sustainable development pathways within the industry. This event was sponsored by several key organizations, including CNPC, China National Offshore Oil Corporation, Ministry of Natural Resources, and State Grid Corporation.
In summary, the conference served as a platform for sharing innovative ideas and fostering collaboration among experts in the energy sector, focusing on the future of intelligent energy production and the pivotal role of technology in achieving sustainability goals.
