Speaker Spotlight: José María González-Muñoz
Geology & Geophysics Operations Manager, Repsol
With more than 16 years in upstream leadership, José María sits at the intersection of operations, digital enablement and decision-making. His perspective cuts through buzzwords to focus on what actually delivers value in oil & gas – from AI adoption and automation to cultural change, governance, and scaling digital initiatives beyond pilots.
In this interview, he shares candid insights on:
- Why culture, not technology, remains the biggest barrier to digital progress
- How AI and automation are improving subsurface decisions and operational efficiency
- What “real-world implementation” looks like inside a complex upstream portfolio
- The practical lessons leaders should take into the next 12–18 months
A must-read for anyone focused on turning digital ambition into operational results — and a preview of the peer-level conversations taking place in Madrid this June.
