Digital Innovations in Oil and Gas with Geoffrey Cann · 2026-05-13 · 35 min
EHS and AI are starting to transform safety and reliability in oil and gas. But most organizations are still managing safety as a compliance exercise , not an operational advantage. That approach is under pressure. Operations are more complex, regulations keep shifting , and critical EHS data is scattered across systems, spreadsheets, and sites. When something goes wrong, the impact isn't just regulatory - it shows up as downtime, lost production, and real harm to people and communities . There is a better way to run this. When EHS systems are connected and AI is applied to real operational data , safety becomes part of how the business performs day to day. Instead of reacting after the fact, companies can see risk building in real time , understand how conditions interact, and intervene earlier. The outcome is stronger reliability, fewer disruptions, and better decisions in the field . In this episode, I'm speaking with Amanda Smith , EVP Strategy at Cority . We discuss how EHS is shifting from compliance to performance , why most systems remain fragmented, and how AI is enabling real-time insight into operational risk .
