AI Initiative Tracker: March 2026 Update

Energy Intelligence’s proprietary AI Initiative Tracker captures activity of 50 major oil and gas companies since 2023. This update highlights developments since our initial October 2025 report. The upward trend of energy companies announcing AI initiatives continues, with firms interacting with AI in four main ways: integrating AI into their businesses; supplying energy for AI; investing in AI companies; and partnering with AI companies to offer services to other energy players. Three main regional centers of AI use are emerging – North America, Europe and the Mideast Gulf – while NOCs as a peer group are embracing AI the fastest.
