The pressures shaping the industry
Energy companies are navigating a convergence of pressures:
- Market volatility and uncertainty.
- Financial discipline and capital efficiency.
- Net-zero commitments.
- Rising operational complexity.
- Fragmented data across subsurface, drilling, production, and enterprise systems.
No single technology addresses all five. AI is the only lever capable of acting across them at once, but only if it understands energy.
Why energy needs its own AI
AI is advancing faster than any technology in recent history. But in energy, impact is determined by one thing, whether AI can operate inside the complex, physics-driven realities of the industry.
Today most AI is built for general knowledge work. It is not designed to interpret subsurface data, reason about reservoir physics, or operate within drilling, production, and enterprise workflows.
Energy needs AI that combines:
- Domain expertise across subsurface, drilling, production, and operations.
- Physics-informed reasoning grounded in engineering principles.
- Operational context from live assets and field environments.
- Trusted enterprise knowledge secured within company boundaries.
- Data visualization that turns complex asset, production, and operational signals into clear, actionable insights.
- Human-in-the-loop workflows where engineers, geoscientists, and operations teams validate, guide, and approve AI recommendations before execution.
Without these, AI in energy produces plausible answers, not reliable decisions.

Technical questions
What is agentic AI?
Agentic AI represents the next evolution of AI, where multi-AI agents can autonomously handle dynamic workflows, decompose tasks, and make decisions to achieve specific objectives. Agentic AI leverages LLMs and DFMs to understand domain-specific contexts, generate insights, and adapt workflows in real time based on observed outcomes.
How does agentic AI work?
Agentic AI operates through a five-step process:
- Observation: Gathers information from its environment.
- Planning: Decides what needs to be done and breaks goals into actionable steps.
- Content creation: Uses traditional AI and generative AI to create content.
- Action: Performs tasks using digital tools or other agents.
- Learning: Reviews outcomes, adjusts plans, and improves for future tasks. .
What are LLMs and DFMs, and how do they support agentic AI?
LLMs are a subset of generative AI models specifically trained on vast amounts of text data. These typically consist of billions of parameters that have learned patterns in human language and are currently the most popular types of foundational models.
DFMs are specialized AI models trained on large amounts of domain-specific data (e.g., log foundation model, seismic foundation model). These models can run complex downstream domain tasks and are likened to domain experts. They often use an existing model as a base and then extend it by training on specific domain datasets through a process called ¡°fine-tuning.¡±
Agentic AI systems use a powerful combination of LLMs and DFMs to dynamically adjust tasks and workflows based on new inputs and outcomes, moving beyond static and predefined traditional workflows.
- LLMs as the "brain": LLMs provide the reasoning, planning, and communication engine. They are responsible for understanding the high-level operational goal, breaking it into actionable steps, and coordinating the overall workflow.
- DFMs as the "specialist": DFMs provide domain-specific expertise. They are responsible for analyzing raw operational data (geology, production history, maintenance logs) and providing a highly accurate, technical assessment to the LLM's planning engine.
What is the Lumi platform, and how does it relate to Tela?
The Lumi platform is the enabling infrastructure for Tela. It provides the technical foundation to build, integrate, and orchestrate AI agents within Tela.
