ADNOC and AIQ have announced the successful completion of the proof-of-concept trial for ENERGYai, a groundbreaking artificial intelligence solution specifically designed for the energy sector. This first-of-its-kind platform combines a 70-billion-parameter large language model with over 50 years of ADNOC’s proprietary knowledge and petabytes of operational data to enhance optimisation and efficiency across its operations.
The 90-day trial demonstrated ENERGYai’s potential to revolutionise upstream exploration and production processes. By employing agentic AI – task-specific AI agents tailored for various functions across the energy value chain – the system achieved significant improvements in seismic survey analysis and reservoir monitoring. Key outcomes included:
- 70 percent improvement in accuracy in major aspects of seismic interpretation.
- Enhanced anomaly detection and advanced reservoir monitoring.
- Delivery of actionable insights in natural language, enabling intuitive interaction for engineers.
ENERGYai also vastly improved data quality by identifying errors, standardising formats, and enriching operational datasets, further enhancing the reliability and usability of input data.
Musabbeh Al Kaabi, ADNOC Upstream CEO, stated:
“The successful completion of this proof of concept for ENERGYai has shown extremely promising results, confirming the solution’s potential to drive value creation and sustainable energy production. By leveraging petabytes of data, ENERGYai will empower our workforce and position ADNOC as the world’s most AI-enabled energy company.”
Magzhan Kenesbai, acting managing director of AIQ, added:
“This achievement reflects close collaboration between ADNOC’s subject matter experts, more than 100 AI specialists, and a secure AI infrastructure. These foundational elements will support even greater advancements in future phases.”
Building on the trial’s success, ADNOC plans to launch the first operational, scalable version of ENERGYai in the first half of 2025. This version will feature five fully operational AI agents focused on subsurface operations. It will undergo test deployments across multiple upstream assets, with plans to expand its application to thousands of additional wells.
ENERGYai represents a significant leap forward in the integration of artificial intelligence into the energy sector, paving the way for enhanced efficiency, accuracy, and sustainability in ADNOC’s operations. As the company continues to invest in cutting-edge technology, it sets a new benchmark for AI-driven innovation in the global energy industry.
