Key findings
Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) is not expected to significantly impact blue-collar jobs like Derrick Operators in the Oil and Gas industry.
These workers are shielded from major disruption due to the physical nature of their tasks.
However, the future may see automation of skills like Equipment Maintenance and Troubleshooting.
While GenAI will not transform their work, it may enhance efficiency in tasks like Operations Monitoring and Quality Control Analysis.
The demand for premium goods and services could even lead to an increase in income share for blue-collar workers.
How could AI or automation replace or complement job activities?
AI, automation, or LLMs like Chatgpt could be used to assist Derrick Operators in tasks such as inspecting derricks, monitoring drilling fluid, and providing training to crew members.
These technologies could streamline processes, improve efficiency, and enhance safety.
For example, AI algorithms could analyze data from mud pumps to detect issues early, while LLMs could generate reports and instructions for handling chemical additives.
Job description
Operates pumps and rigs derrick equipment to circulate mud or fluid in drill holes.
