Abstract : The oil and gas sector, a mainstay of the world's energy and economic ecosystem, is undergoing an AI-driven digital transformation. AI solutions are delivering unprecedented efficiency and intelligence from exploration to refining, logistics to trading. The paper discusses how AI is transforming the oil sector, the real uses in all the stages of the oil life cycle, and pitfalls to the adoption of AI solutions in a sector that is traditionally conservative and intricate. The paper concludes with consideration of how AI can aid improved sustainability, safety, and competitiveness in the sector if there are strategic investment and ethical guidelines
