Like all technology it works well - until it doesn't. Silver Bullets in oil & gas have, again, a chequered record. The issue is almost always in the (often hidden or unknown) assumptions in the technique (s).
Data isn't a problem in Oil & gas - they've always been one of the biggest generators of numerical data on the planet (historically the biggest computing tasks were code breaking, aerodynamic modeling, seismic processing and weather forecasting).
AI will certainly help in sorting through the data - the issue tho' is that that actually creates an oil field is imperfectly understood - there are a vast amount of variables changing over a couple of hundred million years of time.
