AI Driving Safety and Performance
According to Osobu, AI is significantly improving safety performance and operational efficiency. He noted that virtual reality tools and AI-powered agents are already being used to accelerate staff onboarding and enhance knowledge retention. Additionally, smart cameras and satellite technologies are enabling advanced visual analytics for better monitoring of operations and compliance.
“Process automation and predictive maintenance tools are enhancing production reliability, while AI-driven optimisation is strengthening emissions monitoring to support our energy transition commitments,” he added.
Integration and Workforce Development
Osobu emphasised that integration is key, explaining that embedding AI into existing platforms unlocks predictive, preventive, and corrective maintenance strategies that keep assets running at peak performance.
He also disclosed that NLNG has established a Centre of Excellence to upskill its workforce and ensure AI adoption aligns with business needs. “At NLNG, we take a value-first approach, upskilling staff through our Centre of Excellence to align AI with business needs for real value delivery,” he said.
