A Systems Approach to Redesigning Human-AI Interactions in Gaslift Operations for Upstream Oil and Gas

A Systems Approach to Redesigning Human-AI Interactions in Gaslift Operations for Upstream Oil and Gas Momoh, Victor I. Artificial intelligence tools are increasingly used to support engineering decisions, yet their value depends on whether humans trust and act on their recommendations. This thesis investigates how LLM response style and user expertise influence trust in a technical context. Gas‑lift troubleshooting was used as a domain case. One hundred thirty‑one participants across five exper
