Abstract

This report critically evaluates the operational feasibility of deploying the Schlumberger GAIA Earth Engine—a cloud-native, AI-driven geoscience platform—within the upstream operations of United Energy Pakistan (UEP). In light of mounting global pressure for digital transformation in the hydrocarbon sector, the report undertakes a multi-dimensional feasibility assessment, encompassing operational logistics, workforce adaptability, legal and regulatory compliance, environmental and social sustainability, and financial viability. Employing a structured methodology, the report delineates the compatibility of GAIA with Pakistan’s geotechnical landscape and UEP’s organizational framework. It establishes that the digital infrastructure, human capital, and policy ecosystem in Pakistan are increasingly conducive to the successful integration of high-fidelity geospatial analytics and machine learning-based exploration technologies. The study further substantiates that GAIA’s modular architecture and interoperability with legacy systems enable a scalable, low-disruption deployment across UEP’s assets. The findings reveal that the implementation of GAIA would enhance UEP’s subsurface interpretation accuracy, reduce non-productive time, improve predictive maintenance, and optimize drilling outcomes. The technology’s alignment with environmental standards and its ability to foster transparent community engagement underscore its broader strategic value beyond operational metrics. Concluding with evidence-based recommendations, the report positions GAIA as not merely a digital upgrade but a pivotal catalyst for UEP’s transition to a data-centric, environmentally conscious, and globally competitive energy enterprise.
