Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) has awarded AIQ, a subsidiary of Presight, a $340 million contract to implement the ENERGYai artificial intelligence solution across its upstream operations over the next three years.
ENERGYai integrates a 70-billion-parameter large language model with over five decades of ADNOC’s proprietary data. The 90-day proof-of-concept trial demonstrated that ENERGYai’s agentic AI—AI ‘agents’ trained in specific tasks across the energy value chain—can deliver significant improvements in the pace and accuracy of upstream exploration through rapid, precise, and detailed seismic survey analysis, alongside relevant, actionable insights to support production optimisation at ADNOC’s existing wells.
The first operational version of ENERGYai is expected by mid-2025, with five AI agents covering subsurface tasks. Plans include scaling its application to thousands of wells across more than 28 producing fields.
This initiative aligns with ADNOC’s strategy to integrate AI across its value chain, enhancing safety, reducing emissions, and maximising value.
The collaboration with AIQ underscores ADNOC’s commitment to leveraging advanced technologies for sustainable energy production.
