A new benchmark, PetroBench, has been developed to evaluate the performance of Large Language Models (LLMs) specifically within the petroleum engineering domain. This benchmark, comprising 1,200 questions across various formats and covering production, reservoir, and drilling engineering, was used to assess eight mainstream LLMs. The evaluation revealed that while models struggled with factual discrimination, particularly in reservoir engineering, top performers like Gemini-3-Pro, Kimi-K2.5, and Claude-Opus-4.6-Thinking achieved overall scores between 72% and 74%. The study also noted distinct performance differences between Chinese and international models. AI
IMPACT Establishes a new standard for LLM evaluation in specialized industries, potentially guiding future model development and deployment in fields like petroleum engineering.
