Peter Whiting interviewed by AAPG about upcoming transformations in the energy industry

Paris, France | Nov 4, 2026

At IMAGE 2026, Peter Whiting discussed the role of AI and how Viridien technology helps our clients do their work better.

During an exclusive interview with AAPG, Peter Whiting, Head of Geoscience, underlined the fast-moving pace of technology and the likely next phase enabling the industry to maximize efficiency, and operate more reliably, in new ways, that we can’t yet predict. While recognizing the importance of AI as a tool, he emphasized the need for experts to guide AI usage for industry applications.

Specifically, for digital transformation of complex and vast subsurface data sets, Peter stressed the importance of trusted data foundations, governance, domain expertise, and the ability to operationalize AI at scale to make it work consistently across millions of records, thousands of sources, and decades of technical data.

To address this challenge, Peter spotlighted our Evergreen Data Solution, which transforms fragmented subsurface data into a trusted, AI- and interpretation-ready foundation for faster access to insights, reduced cycle times, and improved decision-making.

‘It’s a combination of having technology with trust built into it but also being able to scale and run continuously so that the data foundation is always reliable.’
