The know-how has been developed by AIQ in collaboration with G42 and Microsoft, ADNOC highlighted within the launch. It has been educated on ADNOC’s 80 years of knowledge and can start testing with real-world datasets by the tip of 2024 in quite a lot of particular areas, ADNOC revealed.
“It’s projected that ENERGYai will speed up by as much as 75 p.c the constructing of detailed geological fashions utilizing very giant and various datasets to help planning and growth of large-scale CO2 storage options,” ADNOC mentioned within the launch.
“In growth planning, ENERGYai will speed up plans from one to 2 years to weeks, minimizing prices and emissions within the course of,” it added.
“ENERGYai can analyze a number of situations in parallel and this skill to run detailed, extremely superior simulations throughout all variables helps make quicker and extra correct choices. Additional alongside the worth chain within the downstream enterprise, ENERGYai’s future-proof and scalable design integrates seamlessly with ADNOC’s present applied sciences and platforms,” it continued.
Within the launch, Ahmed Al Jaber, the UAE Minister of Trade and Superior Expertise and ADNOC Managing Director and Group CEO, mentioned, “ENERGYai marks a significant milestone in ADNOC’s journey to be the world’s most AI-enabled power firm and a key enabler of the worldwide power transformation”.
“It is going to be a powerhouse for worth creation and sustainable power manufacturing and can leverage petabytes of knowledge to higher empower our folks and unlock modern options throughout our price chain,” he added.
“As AI accelerates the tempo of progress and transforms industries, ENERGYai will assist future-proof ADNOC, reinforce our place on the forefront of AI deployment, and guarantee we proceed to offer safe and sustainable power to the world,” he went on to state.
Peng Xiao, the Group CEO of G42, mentioned within the launch, “ENERGYai embodies G42’s dedication to remodeling world power by AI, delivering real-time, data-driven insights and deploying agentic AI to reinforce effectivity, resilience, and sustainability”.
“By combining ADNOC’s business management and petabytes of historic information with G42’s superior AI capabilities, and collaborating with Microsoft, we’re creating a powerful basis for the way forward for power – empowering leaders to make strategic decisions that drive sustainable progress,” Xiao added.
Darryl Willis, Company Vice President, Vitality and Sources Trade at Microsoft, mentioned within the launch, “throughout the total worth chain of conventional and renewable power sectors, AI applied sciences can optimize power utilization, enhance security, reliability and effectivity, scale back emissions, and speed up low- and no-carbon power options”.
“We’re happy to be collaborating with ADNOC and AIQ within the growth of AI-powered options that may drive financial progress, deal with power safety and fairness, and advance a net-zero future for all,” Willis added.
Final month, in a press release posted on its web site, ADNOC introduced the deployment of AIQ’s Superior Reservoir 360 (AR360) resolution on greater than 30 reservoirs throughout ADNOC’s upstream operations. The event adopted the answer’s preliminary deployment in early 2024 on two ADNOC reservoirs at Bab and Umm Shaif fields, ADNOC highlighted within the assertion.
“Developed by AIQ with SLB as a part of ENERGYai, ADNOC’s synthetic intelligence and digital know-how technique, AR360 makes use of synthetic intelligence and machine studying applied sciences to enhance reservoir administration and optimize area growth planning,” ADNOC mentioned in that assertion.
ADNOC has to date deployed greater than 30 AI instruments from the management room to the board room to improve security, scale back emissions, optimize effectivity, and maximize worth, the corporate famous within the assertion.
“The combination of AR360 throughout extra of our reservoirs is a testomony to our success in harnessing AI and superior applied sciences to unlock extra worth from our pure assets,” Abdulmunim Saif Al Kindy, ADNOC Upstream Government Director, mentioned within the assertion.
“Constructing on a long time of funding in innovation and know-how, we are going to proceed to speed up the deployment of AI options from the management room to the boardroom as we responsibly meet the rising world power demand,” Kindy added.
Magzhan Kenesbai, Appearing Managing Director of AIQ, mentioned in that assertion, “the prolonged deployment of AR360 by ADNOC is a crucial endorsement of our know-how and reinforces the emergence of AIQ as a growing world AI provider for the power sector”.
“We’re dedicated to proceed driving larger operational efficiencies throughout the complete power worth chain, and in upstream operations specifically, and unlock larger worth for the business,” Kenesbai added.
Additionally final month, ADNOC introduced that it, Masdar, and Microsoft had collectively printed a brand new report titled Powering Doable: AI and Vitality for a Sustainable Future. The report explored “the transformative potential of synthetic intelligence in driving the worldwide power sector in the direction of a internet zero future”, ADNOC revealed in a press release on its web site.
The report highlights AI’s potential to optimize power effectivity, handle advanced power methods, scale back greenhouse fuel emissions, and innovate carbon-free power options whereas addressing the rising power calls for of AI know-how itself, ADNOC mentioned within the assertion.
ADNOC has a internet zero operations by 2045 ambition, in line with its web site, which highlights that the corporate is a founding signatory of the Oil & Gasoline Decarbonization Constitution (OGDC). The location describes the OGDC as a partnership of over 50 oil and fuel firms launched at COP28 to speed up local weather motion.
As instances and rules round synthetic intelligence evolve, power firms are starting to seek out extra methods to make use of AI, in line with a brand new report from Morningstar DBRS, which was despatched to Rigzone lately.
That report acknowledged that firms are collaborating with AI startups and Large Tech firms to run pilot tasks evaluating the practicality of utilizing AI of their day-to-day enterprise, in addition to exploring adjustments to their threat administration frameworks to deal with technological and regulatory dangers arising from the adoption of AI.
In a launch despatched to Rigzone by the GlobalData group again in July, GlobalData acknowledged that AI and robotics are main transformative adjustments within the oil and fuel sector.
A launch despatched to Rigzone by GlobalData earlier this yr outlined AI as one of many greatest themes driving progress within the oil and fuel business in 2024.
