UAE’s ADNOC Embarks on 3-Year Program to Integrate Autonomous AI into Operations

November 4, 2024

ADNOC announced on Monday the launch of a three-year development program in partnership with AIQ, which integrates ENERGYai, the first personalized agent artificial intelligence (AI). ability.

ENERGYai was developed by AIQ in collaboration with G42 and Microsoft.

Trained on 80 years of data from ADNOC, the ambitious project will begin testing ENERGYai with real-world datasets by the end of 2024, the national oil company said in a news release.

According to the report, ENERGYai will combine large language modeling (LLM) technology with sophisticated ‘agentic’ AI – AI ‘agents’ that are trained on specific tasks across ADNOC’s value chain, enabling a new level of “autonomous and precision”. Tasks range from seismic analysis to energy efficiency and real-time process monitoring.”

It noted that ENERGYai will accelerate the creation of detailed geological models using very large and diverse datasets by up to 75 percent to support the planning and development of large-scale CO2 storage solutions. In development planning, the solution is expected to accelerate projects from 1-2 years to weeks, reducing costs and emissions in the process.

“As AI accelerates the pace of progress and transforms industries, ENERGYai will help ADNOC future-proof, strengthen our position at the forefront of AI deployment and ensure we continue to provide safe and sustainable energy to the world,” said Dr. Sultan Ahmad Al. Jaber, UAE Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology and ADNOC Managing Director and Group CEO.

ENERGYai integrates best-in-class technologies including Open Surface Data Universe (OSDU) frameworks and OpenAI models, the report noted.
