AI isn’t just showing up in oil and gas, it’s kicking the door down. We hung out with Bella Kelada-Khalil from Midnight Marketing, who’s diving headfirst into petroleum engineering and AI after starting in sales and events. She’s asking the smart, unfiltered questions you wish you could, and we’re here for it. We swap stories on how AI is automating the boring stuff, making data wrangling less painful, and helping teams actually trust what they’re looking at. From LangChain setups to sketchy data rooms, it’s all on the table. This one’s for anyone wondering how tech and tradition can play nice in the field.
