Petrovietnam and AWS Co-Host Digital Technologies to facilitate Green Energy and Industries Seminar

The seminar holds profound significance for Petrovietnam's strategic vision, not only in ensuring national energy security but also in actively contributing to a greener and more sustainable energy future for the country.

Amid a rapidly evolving global energy landscape, the imperative to adopt clean energy solutions and sustainable industrial practices is intensifying. The seminar highlighted how cutting-edge digital technologies-including Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), Big Data analytics, and the Internet of Things (IoT) are not just enhancing operations, but serving as transformative forces across the energy value chain.

Mr. Trần Bình Minh, Member of the Board of Members of Petrovietnam, delivered a speech at the seminar.

The event opened with keynote addresses from Mr. Tran Binh Minh, Member of the Board of Members at Petrovietnam (PVN), and Mr. Eric Yeo, General Director of AWS Vietnam-Indochina. Both speakers emphasized the critical role of digital transformation in ensuring energy resilience, operational excellence, and long-term sustainability. The morning session also featured insights from international experts who shared best practices in innovation culture, enterprise restructuring, and digital strategy implementation.

Mr. Eric Yeo, Country General Manager at AWS Vietnam, emphasized the vital role of digital transformation in the energy sector.

The afternoon was structured into three focused panel sessions. The Upstream panel session spotlighted technologies designed to enhance exploration and production performance. AWS presented its Energy Data Insight (EDI) solution, leveraging AI/ML for real-time operational intelligence. A standout feature was the Agentic Workflow (Agents4Energy), an AI-powered system that supports decision-making in well planning, predictive maintenance, and reservoir management. Additional highlights included: automated real-time drilling solutions & Production optimization via smart monitoring platforms from partner Xecta, and digital hand-over from EPC contractors to Owners/Operators, showcased by Hexagon.

The delegates visited and learned about artificial intelligence (AI).

The Midstream and Downstream one focused on oil refining, chemicals, and energy utilities. This session demonstrated how digital platforms are transforming big data into actionable insights. GE Vernova’s Proficy platform enables real-time data-driven decision-making. AVEVA shared Asset Performance Management (APM) solutions for increased reliability.Aerodyne unveiled drone-based AI infrastructure monitoring, supporting automation, risk mitigation, and compliance with OGMP 2.0 standards.
