ADNOC Implements RoboWell AI in 10 Wells for Drilling Operations
In a groundbreaking move, ADNOC has recently announced the deployment of RoboWell, an innovative artificial intelligence (AI) autonomous well-control solution developed by AIQ, in its operations at the offshore NASR field. This field, located 130 km northwest of Abu Dhabi, is leading the way in digitalization, utilizing technology to maximize production while minimizing emissions.
RoboWell, a product of collaboration between AIQ and ADNOC’s Thamama Excellence Center, capitalizes on big data, digitalization, and smart analytics to access hydrocarbon resources more efficiently and unlock greater value from existing reservoirs. Using cloud-based AI algorithms, RoboWell is able to autonomously operate wells and self-adjust according to changing conditions, making it a game-changer in the industry.
The success of RoboWell was first demonstrated in 2023 when it was deployed at the onshore NEB field, ADNOC’s pioneering “smart field” that has fully embraced AI-enabled technologies. Building on this success, RoboWell has now been implemented across an initial 10 wells at NASR, with plans for further deployment at over 300 wells in ADNOC’s offshore and onshore operations throughout the year.
Dr. Chris Cooper, CEO of AIQ, expressed excitement about the expanded implementation of RoboWell, citing significant benefits such as up to 30% optimization in gas lift consumption and up to 5% increase in operating efficiency. This collaboration between AIQ and ADNOC represents a crucial step forward in the integration of AI technologies in the oil and gas industry, setting a new standard for operational excellence.
The deployment of RoboWell at NASR reflects ADNOC’s commitment to innovation and sustainability in its operations. By harnessing the power of AI and digitalization, the company is not only enhancing its productivity and efficiency but also reducing its environmental footprint. This investment in cutting-edge technology underscores ADNOC’s position as a leader in the global energy sector.
Furthermore, the partnership between AIQ and ADNOC highlights the importance of collaboration in driving technological advancements in the industry. By combining expertise and resources, both companies are able to push the boundaries of what is possible and achieve remarkable results that benefit both their operations and the environment.
As the oil and gas industry continues to evolve, the integration of AI and digital technologies will play a crucial role in shaping its future. ADNOC’s adoption of RoboWell is a prime example of how companies can leverage these technologies to optimize their operations, improve efficiency, and drive sustainable growth.
In conclusion, the deployment of RoboWell at the NASR field marks a significant milestone in the journey towards a more efficient, sustainable, and technologically advanced oil and gas industry. With the continued collaboration between AIQ and ADNOC, we can expect to see even more innovative solutions that will revolutionize the way we extract and utilize energy resources.
