K'nexion Energy is vendor-agnostic and human-in-the-loop. The data foundation comes first: OSDU, lineage and context, before any model is trusted. The goal is agentic AI that answers to the geologist.
I've spent my career on the subsurface side of the decision. I know what the real question is, what data it needs, and what "right" looks like to the asset team. I speak both languages.
The hype is loud. The value is real. The answer is connecting the data you already have to the decisions that depend on it, then pairing that with the right solution.
I work for the problem, not a platform. The roster is curated and growing. If the best fit isn't on it, I'll find who is.
OSDU as the Bridge to AI-Enabled Subsurface Decisions — NOVA 2026, Benghazi, Libya, 7 Oct 2026
AI 'noise' vs. 'signal': the biggest bubble humanity has ever witnessed.
When the work becomes the problem: too much time, money and stress.
A good decision is not one that leads to a good outcome. It is one that was the best choice given what was known at the time.
Technology reduces uncertainty about facts, but increases awareness of complexity.
The technological developments of the last decade have made poor decision making easier, more immediate, and more widely consequential.
Sustainable improvement comes from answering 'What did we learn?' and 'How should we act differently next time?'
The fix isn't more data. It's structuring, refining and connecting the data you already have to the decisions that actually depend on it.
A study of FID forecasts against actual production for 56 Norwegian Continental Shelf fields found forecasts were consistently optimistic.

K'nexion connects operators to AI solutions and partners. Each listing is a referral: I send operators where I'd send my own team.
Over the past year I worked as Director of Technical Business Development for MangoBytes AI and Neurocraft AI, and as President of RockNRG. That work built a large network in the AI space for operators, and it is why I can match an operator's problem to the vendor who can actually move it.

Free no fee.
Between roles? AI companies need real domain experts to review and critique what their models produce. Register your interest for a referral link to Mercor, which pays experts for that work on contract.
K'nexion Energy is independent. It is not Mercor, and it doesn't recruit or speak for them. Mercor decides who it engages. K'nexion may earn a referral reward under Mercor's published program terms (opens in a new tab).
Available as an in-house session.
