The Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) has awarded a AED3.38 billion engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contract to Jereh Oil & Gas Engineering Corporation to enhance its AI-powered well digitalisation programme.
The project will extend remote sensing and well operating equipment to ADNOC's Bab, Bu Hasa, and Southeast fields, aiming for completion by 2027.
Over 80% of the contract value will flow back into the UAE’s economy through ADNOC's In-Country Value (ICV) programme, supporting local growth and diversification.
The programme will enable the remote monitoring and control of over 2,000 wells, improving operational efficiency and safety by reducing downtime.
ADNOC’s AI-driven programme uses real-time data from embedded sensors, with information transmitted via ADNOC’s private 5G network, allowing AI tools like RoboWell to autonomously manage well operations.
This is part of ADNOC's broader strategy to lead in AI-powered energy technology.
