Physical AI

Physical AI gives machines, robots and physical operations the ability to perceive their environment, decide what matters and act in real time. Factories, plants, stores and infrastructure become systems able to sense conditions, learn from them and improve on their own, closing the gap between the physical and the digital world.

Exploration & Production

One basin, two trajectories

28 Oct 2026

One executable plan for every contested asset.

Different basin trajectories. The same operating-model test.

UK operators must integrate production, integrity and decommissioning. Norwegian operators must coordinate recovery, tie-backs and host capacity. Both need one constraint-aware plan, backed by clear cross-functional decision rights.

At a glance

The priorities differ across the basin, but the evidence points to the same need: cross-functional sequencing that reflects real asset constraints.

UK production remains steady.

UKCS production averaged approximately 1.1 million boe per day in 2025, with production efficiency reaching 76%.

Decommissioning pressure remains high.

Operators spent a record £2.6 billion on UKCS decommissioning in 2025, while the estimated remaining cost fell only marginally to £43.4 billion in 2025 prices.

Norway is managing an extensive producing system

At the end of 2025, 97 fields were producing across the Norwegian Continental Shelf, including 69 in the North Sea. Total production reached 239.2 million Sm³ o.e.

The opportunity set is dense.

More than 90 discoveries await development decisions, alongside approximately 145 improved-recovery projects representing an estimated 280 million Sm³ o.e.

What leaders should do

Test the model where plans genuinely collide. Choose one asset or hub where at least three functions compete for the same constrained capacity. Define the value flow, encode non-negotiable obligations and give one accountable arbiter authority to re-sequence work.

Turn shared visibility into synchronized execution.
