Digital Innovations in Oil and Gas with Geoffrey Cann AI That Thinks Like a Scientist
Apr 2, 2025
TC Zoboroski, Head of Sales for Energy at NobleAI, brings expertise in science-based AI from companies like Halliburton and AWS. He discusses how AI can revolutionize oil and gas by applying scientific principles, enhancing decision-making, and transforming production forecasting. Zoboroski shares compelling use cases where AI has drastically reduced R&D timelines and developed new chemical formulations in real-time. He also addresses skepticism towards AI in the industry, emphasizing its potential as a tool for innovation rather than a job threat.

Episode notes
Multigenerational Oilfield Roots
- TC traced his oil-and-gas roots to a multigenerational family history and hands-on childhood experience.
- He later worked at Halliburton, Dell, AWS and with Exxon's suppliers before joining NobleAI.
Science-First AI For Chemistry
- NobleAI's AI is grounded in physics and chemistry rather than pattern matching.
- That makes outputs scientifically valid for molecular and formulation problems.
Massive Inference Throughput Speeds Decisions
- NobleAI speeds production forecasting by enabling thousands of inferences instead of a few per week.
- Faster inferences accelerate decision-making about drilling and reservoir prosecution.
