When commercial and operations teams can see the same constraints at the same time, decisions get faster and results can follow. At Williams, improvements to how teams use storage data generated a $7 million uplift in “park and loan” activity, a type of storage transaction.  

Williams uses AI as a practical tool to reduce routine work and surface clearer operational context, so teams can make decisions faster and focus their time on higher-value, judgment-heavy work. The company emphasizes responsible use: AI supports the work, while employees remain accountable for outcomes.  

The work also reduced rework by bringing operational limits, reservoir conditions and commercial activity into a single, real-time view, helping teams move from debate to decision with shared context.  

When operations and commercial teams share the same real-time view of constraints, we make better decisions faster.

“The payoff was faster alignment and a repeatable way to turn shared data into measurable value,” said Irma Glover, manager of commercial technology. 

What this means: Shared, real-time data helps teams align faster and deliver business outcomes, improving how work gets done across commercial and operational groups while keeping accountability with the people closest to the decisions.
