Look at certain articles. AI robotics do not need much degree of freedom for the production of gas and thus they can easily replace human. Today IOT are becoming more sophisticated in determining safety even if you are dealing with several variables.
Artificial intelligence (AI) in oil and gas industries in production and exploration is used predicting the corrosion in production pipelines, study production history and history matching in reservoir analysis. In Exploration , It is used to predict geomechanical parameters for new wells in same field for drilling programs. These are just a few check some of the publication on my page in addition to those given by Eduardo above for more details. Thank you
