Trends and Patterns in Artificial Intelligence Research for Oil and Gas Industry: A Bibliometric Review

Purpose: This paper aims to outline a broad-spectrum perspective of the structure of research in artificial intelligence (AI), in the oil and gas industry (OGI) based on bibliometric and distance-based visualisation of similarities (VOS) analysis.   Theoretical framework: The OGI has been one of the major contributors to the world economy. With the increasing energy demand, it has become necessary for the industry to adopt the latest technologies to enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and improve safety. One such technology is AI, which has the potential to revolutionise OGI.   Design/methodology/approach: The paper uses the data from Scopus online database as of April 2023. Based on “key-terms” search results, 251 valid documents were obtained for further analysis using VOS viewer software and Harzing’s Publish or Perish for citation metrics and analysis.   Findings: The finding shows that the Journal of Petroleum Science and Engineering is the field's most relevant journal, with 14 (5.58) published Articles. The People's Republic of China is the most productive country regarding AI research in the OGI. El-Sebakhy's (2009) article is the most cited article, with 113 citations and an average of 8.07 citations per year.   Research, Practical & Social implications: AI could transform OGI. Thus, adopting AI technologies can increase efficiency, reduce costs, and improve safety, also may increase productivity and economic benefits in AI research-intensive countries.   Originality/value: This study provides a comprehensive analysis of the existing AI research in the OGI, utilising bibliometric data and graphical networks

Geographical Information System (GIS) as an Innovative Adoption to Ease Customers in Locating SME Business Premises in Malacca

Geographical Information System (GIS) is one of the recent innovation to ease users in locating places. GIS is a system designed to capture, store, manipulate, analyze, manage, and present all types of spatial or geographical data. It can also be used by customers in locating business premises. Research related to application of GIS in locating SME business premises especially in Malacca as a tourist state is still very limited. This study used a survey method to produce more generalizable findings. Quantitative procedures for data collection and analysis were rigorously applied to ensure reliability and validity of the findings. A total of 160 usable responses was collected from 400 distributed questionnaires. This study found all variables significant and therefore, all hypotheses were accepted. In the future, researchers may extend this study to other areas to understand more about current usage patterns and reasons for its adoption. Studies which cover non-Malaysian respondents and different education levels can further document different perspectives of GIS adoption
