f Multi-agent Collaborative Decision Making for Upstream Asset Management

Upstream assets are very challenging to manage because the components and processes involved are numerous, dynamic, and interdependent. Managing such assets requires execution of multiple technical tasks such as analyzing data, forecasting behavior and optimizing performance. While software tools are available to help engineers perform individual tasks, the goal of integrating cross-functional asset management tasks to achieve a greater level of automation, or even autonomy, remains elusive. As a result, most technical tasks are run and monitored by engineers; and interdependent tasks and cross-functional workflows are integrated through high-level human interaction.
