Abstract:

The rapid advancement of generative artificial intelligence (AI), exemplified by models like the DeepSeek series, has substantially lowered the application barrier for large language model (LLM) technology. This progress injects new intelligent capabilities into the field of oil and gas exploration and development, a domain highly dependent on expertise and data-intensive analysis. However, the practical capabilities and implementation pathways of large language models in vertical industry scenarios remain unclear. This study comprehensively and systematically evaluates the multidimensional application capabilities of the DeepSeek model series within this specific domain. A comprehensive six-dimensional quantitative assessment framework was designed to evaluate core competencies, including foundational domain knowledge, complex reasoning, computational proficiency, multimodal processing, performance on open-ended and innovative problems, and professional task execution capabilities. The testing results indicate that LLMs demonstrate exceptional performance in terms of breadth of foundational knowledge coverage and in handling open-ended, innovative questions, revealing strong domain-specific comprehension and application and significant potential for interdisciplinary knowledge integration. However, several critical limitations were identified. The models exhibit hallucination risks when processing specific instances and data, display a lack of sufficient granularity in logical reasoning within complex problem-solving scenarios, and show deficiencies in the accuracy and efficiency of intricate numerical computations. Furthermore, distinct capability boundaries were observed, particularly in multimodal processing - especially the generation and interpretation of professional diagrams and images -, in the operation of specialized software, and responsiveness to real-time engineering demands. To address these identified limitations, this paper proposes an integrated four-dimensional technical pathway to facilitate intelligent transformation. This cohesive strategy comprises: 1) a dynamic knowledge fusion mechanism based on Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) to mitigate knowledge obsolescence and data hallucinations; 2) a knowledge-graph-driven reasoning engine designed to enhance logical reasoning precision for complex problems; 3) a specialized software collaboration architecture that extends the model’s operational boundaries via API gateways integrating domain-specific tools; and 4) an Agent-empowered engineering system for the automated decomposition and execution of complex tasks. The research further delves into key technical challenges, such as the construction of vertical domain knowledge graphs, software ecosystem interoperability, and real-time decision-making by AI agents, proposing targeted directions for technological breakthroughs. In conclusion, the deep integration of LLMs into the oil and gas sector necessitates tight coupling with domain knowledge engineering, specialized software ecosystems, and edge computing technologies. The transition from point solutions to systemic intelligence should be gradual, starting with focused scenario development, overcoming core technical bottlenecks, and ultimately realizing the synergistic application of “Data-Knowledge-Tools.”
