**ADNOC and AIQ Enhance Upstream Operations with AR360 AI Solution**
In a significant move to optimize reservoir management and field development planning, the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) has extended the use of AIQ’s Advanced Reservoir 360 (AR360) service across more than 30 reservoirs in its upstream operations.
Developed in collaboration with Schlumberger (SLB) as part of ADNOC’s broader digital transformation strategy ENERGYai, AR360 leverages artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning to significantly enhance operational efficiency. This integration has already demonstrated its value in the initial deployment on two ADNOC reservoirs at the Bab and Umm Shaif fields, where it showed promising results by reducing planning time, increasing well life, and improving overall recovery rates.
**Key Features of AR360**
1. **Reservoir Visualization and Optimization**: AR360 integrates all subsurface data into a single platform, utilizing AI to visualize reservoirs and optimize field development planning. This ensures the right balance between drilling new wells, boosting the performance of existing wells, and optimizing injection and production volumes.
2. **Improved Decision-Making**: Unlike traditional forecasting tools that require working across multiple software platforms and data sets, AR360 streamlines decision-making by integrating everything on a single platform. This enables more proactive and efficient decision-making processes.
3. **Enhanced Operational Efficiency**: By boosting engineer productivity by 75% during complete reservoir model reviews, AR360 ensures model quality and predictability. This leads to improved well performance and extended well lifetimes, ultimately enhancing reservoir understanding and the accuracy of production forecasts.
4. **Environmental Sustainability**: The enhanced efficiency and optimization provided by AR360 also contribute to reduced greenhouse gas emissions and lower operational energy use. This aligns with ADNOC’s ambitious goal of achieving net-zero methane emissions by 2030 and supports the company’s broader sustainability commitments.
**Industry Recognition and Future Vision**
The extended deployment of AR360 by ADNOC is a testament to the effectiveness of AIQ’s technology and reinforces the company’s role as a leading global AI supplier for the energy sector. Magzhan Kenesbai, Acting Managing Director of AIQ, highlighted the significant endorsement from ADNOC, saying, “The widespread adoption of AR360 underscores our commitment to driving greater operational efficiencies across the entire energy value chain, particularly in upstream operations.”
