Resumo(s)

This study examines the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in optimising production within the upstream oil and gas industry. Using a sociotechnical lens, it draws insights from in-depth interviews with nine professionals across engineering, reservoir management, and digital transformation. Findings show that AI enhances workflow efficiency, predictive maintenance, and decision-making, but its success also hinges on human factors like trust, digital skills, and organizational readiness. Despite its potential, the research reveals gaps in workforce competency and cultural acceptance, challenging assumptions of industry-wide AI readiness. Integration with digital twins and edge computing offers further gains but requires better alignment of people, processes, and technology. This study bridges technical and organizational views on AI adoption and offers practical guidance for achieving responsible, sustainable production
