Dr. Jiale Pu | Artificial Intelligence in Petroleum Engineering | Excellence in Research Award

Dr. Jiale Pu | China University of Petroleum | China

Dr. Jiale Pu is a researcher specializing in the digitalization and intelligent development of oil and gas fields. He focuses on overcoming data governance challenges in fracturing engineering by integrating advanced Large Language Models (LLMs) and structured query agents to enhance knowledge utilization. His work includes developing a “document governance—knowledge extraction—intelligent Q&A” framework, achieving high accuracy in extracting professional information from unstructured engineering documents. By bridging traditional petroleum engineering with modern data science, his innovations provide practical pathways for intelligent management of fracturing documents, improving efficiency, accessibility, and decision-making in oil and gas field development.
