How Are Machine Learning and Data Analytics Changing Crude and Natural Gas Marketing?

Unconventional production has significantly changed the diversity and quality of crude oil and natural gas at the well head, yet the technology for valuing and marketing those products has remained unchanged for decades.  Current valuation proxies such as API Gravity are insufficient for representing the true value of crudes; millions of barrels daily are transacted based on hand-written paper tickets; and modern manufacturing and distribution techniques remain untapped across the supply chain.  How can producers and operators better utilize new artificial intelligence and data analytics systems to align incentives and optimize the industry?  Are there technology-driven solutions to the various monopsony markets in natural gas? How is cloud-based computing relevant for maximizing crude profits for producers and refiners alike?
