Global AI in Oil & Gas Market to Reach $3.81 Billion by 2025

A report from Mordor Intelligence finds that the global AI in Oil & Gas market will grow from $2 billion in 2019 to $3.81 billion in 2025 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.96 percent in the forecast period. An excerpt from the report overview outlines some key drivers in the market:

● Organizations across the world are trying to make the exploration and the production processes more efficient and optimized. The operations in this field are the major factors that are driving the usage of AI in oil and gas companies. The AI tools can help oil and gas companies in digitizing records and can automate the analysis of the gathered geological data and charts, which can lead to potential identification of issues, such as pipeline corrosion or increased equipment usage.

● Oil and gas companies can potentially gain crucial insights to improve their business outcomes in their upstream processes with the integration of AI software. This process would involve the feeding of curated data records and information from data sources to the software that could include structured documents, PDFs, handwritten notes, audio, or video files.

#ExploringMining #Podcast – #Mining #Stocks News from (NYSE: $GOLD) (NYSE: $CCJ) (NYSE: $EXK) (ASX:AGD)

Point Roberts WA, Delta BC, April 9, 2019 Investorideas.com, a global investor news source covering mining and metals stocks releases today’s edition of Exploring Mining Podcast, featuring stock news from TSX, TSXV ,CSE, ASX, NASDAQ, NYSE companies plus interviews with CEO's and leading experts.

Barrick Gold Corporation (NYSE:GOLD), through its joint venture with the Tanzanian government, Twiga Minerals Corporation, has announced a support program to assist Tanzania in combating COVID-19. This will involve the commitment of “$1.7 million in the form of critical equipment and expertise to help prevent the spread of the virus.” The company announced similar moves in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), where it is contributing $1.5 million, and in Zambia, where it gave a $530,000 cheque to that country’s Minister of Health.

Cameco Corporation (NYSE:CCJ) is implementing temporary operational changes at its fuel services division facilities in Ontario as a response to challenges imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic. Cameco President and CEO Tim Gitzel explained:

“While our fuel services facilities have been able to operate safely, it has become increasingly challenging to maintain a sufficient roster of qualified operators for the UF₆ plant. The UF₆ plant is designed for continuous operation, and we need to prevent unplanned interruptions arising from personnel shortages.

Therefore, after weighing many factors, including the state of the pandemic, we made a measured decision to suspend production in a careful, planned manner at the UF₆ plant and the UO₃ refinery which feeds it. We will watch closely how the situation evolves over the next four weeks before making further decisions.”

Endeavor Silver Corp. (NYSE:EXK) has reported its first quarter 2020 production results. This includes 857,659 silver oz and 8,476 gold oz. Bradford Cooke, Endeavour CEO, commented:

“Even though our foremost concerns at this time are the health of our employees, safely managing the COVID-19 pandemic risk and the care and maintenance of our mining operations, Endeavour delivered solid Q1, 2020 performance at our mining operations. We met production guidance prior to suspension, Guanacevi neared completion of its operational turn-around and Bolanitos and El Compas continued to make good progress.”

Austral Gold Limited (ASX:AGD) has reported first quarter 2020 production of 17,159 gold equivalent ounces, which is up 34 percent from the prior year quarter, but down 4 percent from production of 17,953 gold equivalent ounces in Q4 2019. Austral Gold CEO Stabro Kasaneva said:

"We are closely monitoring the developments around COVID-19 and we have implemented several precautionary measures to protect the health of all our people which is our top priority. The Company is also working on contingency plans in the event we have supply-chain disruptions to gold or silver deliveries or the receipt of essential equipment and materials to operate. We are being conservative with the use of our cash in the event that our operations are temporarily curtailed. We have minimised capital expenditures, and exploration activity has been streamlined to brownfield areas within the Guanaco/Amancaya district. Starting April 2020, the Guanaco/Amancaya mines have been operating at 75% capacity due to changes in work shifts to minimise COVID-19 risks at the mine site."

Stocks discussed: (NYSE:VFC) (TSXV:GAME)

Apparel giant V.F. Corporation (NYSE:VFC) has announced additional employee support and enterprise protection strategies amid the COVID-19 pandemic. This includes a 50 percent reduction in CEO Steve Rendle’s base salary, a 25 percent reduction in the Executive Leadership Team’s salary and the assurance that retail employees will receive full pay and benefits while retail locations remain closed until May 3. Company CEO Steve Rendle said:

"Throughout VF’s storied 120-year history, we’ve weathered many storms, and each time we’ve emerged as a stronger company with a renewed sense of focus and determination. The full breadth of actions we’re taking in response to the COVID-19 situation are intended to not only address the challenges of today, but also to position our brands and businesses to thrive in the years ahead as we build on VF’s proud legacy."

Torque Esports Corp. (TSXV:GAME), and its tournament organizing arm UMG Media Ltd., have made a programming syndication agreement with Blake Broadcasting, giving them a potential global audience. According to the press release, “UMG's range of live-streamed esports competitions and series will now be shown globally on Blake networks across North America, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific region.” Blake Broadcasting CEO Bob Blake explained:

"The live content pipeline, especially in sports, all but dried up overnight. Torque & UMG Gaming already had a strong portfolio of competitive gaming content, from virtual motorsports to traditional series and remote competitions. The quality of Torque's programming and deep experience and history made the decision easy.”

Olympic Flame Removed from Display, Qualifying Athletes for Tokyo 2020 to Keep Spot in Rescheduled 2021 Games

The Olympic flame has been removed from display, according to a report from the Associated Press. Originally intended to remain on display through April, the flame was taken down as part of the Japanese government’s effort to limit large gatherings so as to combat the spread of COVID-19. Organizers told the publication:

“Tokyo 2020 will now keep the flame in an undisclosed location to prevent people from gathering.”

Elsewhere the AP reports that the roughly 6,500 athletes who qualified for the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo will get to keep their spots for the rescheduled games in 2021. This comes from an announcement by the International Olympic Committee (IOC), which affirmed that “athlete health is the guiding principle in the scheduling of any remaining Olympic qualification events.”

Stocks discussed: (TSXV:GLXY) (TSXV:DMGI)

The crypto market is a bit of a mixed bag today with some of the top 100 coins listed by market cap in the red, and others in the green, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Bitcoin (BTC) is slightly in the red at press time, but has maintained a trading price above $7,000 since late Sunday. It is currently trading for about $7,275.

Earlier today Bitcoin Cash (BCH) went through its first “halving”, an event which sees each new transaction block produce half of its mining reward. Specifically, Bitcoin Cash miners will see a reward of 6.25 BCH per block, which is down from 12.5 BCH per block. This is commonly supposed to lead to a rally in the cryptocurrency, as it creates a deficit in supply. This remains to be seen, however, as it also reduces incentives for miners who will now see their rewards cut in half. The halving of Bitcoin is expected sometime in May.

Galaxy Digital Holdings Ltd. (TSXV:GLXY) has released financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ending December 31, 2019. Galaxy Digital CEO Mike Novogratz said:

"Galaxy Digital entered 2020 with significant operational momentum in our three operating businesses of Trading, Asset Management and Advisory Services, and I am proud of how our dedicated team is now navigating the unprecedented global economic dislocation driven by Covid-19. The digital asset and cryptocurrency market has seen significant volatility and de-risking in the past several weeks, similar to other growth and safe-haven asset classes, as investors prioritized liquidity above all. In this market environment, we continue to focus on the safety of our people, trading nimbly, and sharing differentiated insights with our institutional clients and counterparties."

DMG Blockchain Solutions Inc. (TSXV:DMGI) has increased its mining capacity with the addition of new equipment. The company’s COO, Sheldon Bennett, explained:

“DMG has been testing the latest models of ASIC miners from various manufacturers and, based on capital cost, energy consumption, and mining efficiency, the Company has chosen to begin deployment of additional M30 miners manufactured by MicroBT. The M30s generate 88 TH/s of compute power with an energy consumption of 3,344 watts. We expect the M30 to be profitable for at least 36 months based on the current bitcoin price and forecasted network hash rate changes during this period, including the May 2020 Bitcoin reward halving, as well as DMG’s access to low cost power via our 85MW substation. One of our existing alt-coin clients has also added 23 Petahash of Bitcoin miners for hosting at DMG’s facility. We expect receipt of shipments of all new miners as well as their energization by the end of this month.”
