Internal AI assistants for subsurface screening and licensing applications
Aker BP used internal AI assistants to prepare its 2025 licensing applications
Problem
Geoscientists spent weeks screening data and searching historical material while preparing licensing applications.
Approach
Aker BP used internally developed AI assistants during the 2025 APA licensing round. They screened subsurface data and retrieved relevant material from earlier applications and comparable fields. AI drafting tools also helped prepare application text.
Results
No published figures
Takeaway
The CEO reported faster geological analysis. Aker BP did not disclose a measured reduction in total application-preparation time.
