By GlobalDataADNOC intends to deploy additional AI technology as part of a multi-year programme to further optimise its operations across Abu Dhabi.
In mid-July, ADNOC deployed an autonomous AI well-control solution called RoboWell at its NASR field.
The state-owned company is aiming to grow its oil production capacity to 5mbbl/d by 2027 and achieve near-zero methane emissions by 2030.
According to Offshore Technology’s parent company, GlobalData, AI technology is transforming the oil and gas sector’s productivity in exploration, production, refining and logistics.
Earlier this month, ADNOC and global technology group e& revealed they were developing what they claim will be the energy industry’s “largest private 5G wireless network”, spanning 11,000km².
In a joint statement, the companies said the network will help deliver high bandwidth across ADNOC’s onshore and offshore operations.
The network will help ADNOC integrate its AI solutions at remote facilities and reduce costs through automation.
