Science for a future for oil

TL;DR

The reform of the Organic Hydrocarbons Law presents an opportunity for the SNCTI to integrate into the hydrocarbon sector.
Hydrocarbon industry competitiveness now depends on advanced sciences like data science, AI, materials engineering, and environmental sciences, alongside traditional earth sciences.
Capturing new technologies requires agile transfer mechanisms, applied research, joint laboratories, and adapted external models.
A less fragmented, more focused SNCTI with measurable results is essential for national support of R&D.
Integrating science into production benefits both industry (reduced risks/costs) and the SNCTI (strengthened capabilities, talent, sovereignty).
The hydrocarbon sector can act as a catalyst for scientific and technological development through strategic coordination and a long-term vision.
The goal is a transition where domestically generated knowledge becomes a strategic national asset.
