I want to get something off of my chest. I have noticed that too many leaders chase Automation as if efficiency alone were the goal. It isn’t.
Automation cuts people out. Augmentation makes them more capable. One deletes experience; the other compounds it. In oil and gas, that distinction decides who gets better and who just gets cheaper. You don’t need software deciding which well to shut in. You need it to handle the tedious parts, such as collecting data, doing the math, and flagging outlier wells, so your employees can do the thinking that actually moves the needle.
The thought process is simple. Automate repetition. Augment judgment. Let code do the grunt work and let people make the calls that still depend on context, risk, and experience.
When both align, output scales without burnout. Decision cycle times drop. Error rates fall. Profit per employee-hour rises. Trust grows because the system explains itself. That’s how improvement happens, not by replacing people, but by giving them superpowers.
