ADNOC takes the plunge and pioneers the use of autonomous AI in the energy sector as never seen before.

 

Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) has its eyes fixed on the energy sector and the significant steps it is taking to embrace autonomous artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, a first in the region. Indeed, this initiative is far-reaching as it seeks to modernize the oil and gas operations by improving efficiencies and optimizing the production processes. As a result of this ADNOC intends to optimize the entire value chain from exploration to refining and hence minimize the costs of operation as well as the negative effects on the environment.

The deployment of autonomous AI technologies is therefore also an indicator of the ADNOC's readiness to embrace developments in innovation and sustainability. With the transformation of the global population and shifts in the modern economy, exploration and production of new resources is not enough on its own and oil and gas companies are under more and more pressure to go digital. ADNOC's keen attitude is not only aimed at strengthening its leadership but also encourages other players in the market. It fits well with the plans of the UAE in terms of broadening the economy and investing in technology.

With the current acceptance of this level of automation at ADNOC, the benefits accruable in terms of generating higher safety performance and efficiency within the energy sector are beginning to take shape. The role of AI is expected in the form of predictive maintenance, nga monitoring capabilities in real time, and improved making decisions. This is an important inflection point for the market establishing what level of technology will dictate the evolution of energy.
