Dublin, March 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The “AI in Oil and Gas Market Report 2026” has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.
The AI in oil and gas market is experiencing significant growth, with a projected increase from $4.04 billion in 2025 to $4.55 billion in 2026, at a robust CAGR of 12.8%. This historical growth is driven by the need for operational efficiency, volatile oil prices, advancements in digital oilfield initiatives, the complexity of offshore explorations, and the availability of vast operational data sets.
Looking ahead, the market is expected to expand to $7.51 billion by 2030, achieving a CAGR of 13.3%. Key drivers in this forecast period include a strong focus on cost reduction, the demand for real-time decision-making, increasing safety regulations, the development of smart oilfields, and advancements in AI software platforms. Notable trends include the rising adoption of predictive maintenance solutions, drilling optimization algorithms, integration with IoT oilfield systems, and the deployment of robotics and drones, along with data-driven reservoir management strategies.
Rising oil and gas exploration activities are a significant growth driver for AI application in this sector. As global energy demand grows, so does the need for efficient exploration techniques. AI helps optimize exploration processes by providing automated, data-driven solutions, reducing operational risks. For instance, in June 2025, the U.S. Energy Information Administration noted an increase in domestic crude oil production, reaching 13.2 million barrels per day in 2024, a 2% rise from the previous year. This trend underscores the correlation between exploration activities and AI growth in the oil and gas market.
Leading companies are investing in advanced AI solutions to boost operational efficiency, enhance predictive maintenance, and improve safety. AI tools are increasingly being utilized to streamline processes, predict equipment failures, and enhance decision-making. For example, Indosat introduced AI-powered cloud solutions in July 2024, enhancing efficiency by automating tasks and optimizing resources, ultimately providing significant cost savings. Additionally, these tools facilitate data-driven decision-making through rapid analysis of large datasets, improving organizational productivity.
In March 2023, Accenture plc expanded its digital capabilities by acquiring Flutura Decision Sciences and Analytics, a company specializing in data analytics and AI solutions, to enhance its competitive edge and service offerings.
Prominent companies in this market include IBM Corporation, Microsoft Corporation, Google LLC, Intel Corporation, Schlumberger Limited, Halliburton Company, Baker Hughes Company, and many others, with North America being the largest and fastest-growing region as of 2025.
