In 2024, ADNOC deployed Robowell, an AI-powered autonomous well control system developed by AIQ, at its offshore NASR field, marking the world’s first offshore implementation of such technology. Robowell enhances well safety and operational reliability by: • Automating real-time well monitoring and adjustments, reducing the risk of human error • Detecting and responding to anomalies instantly, preventing potential well integrity failures • Minimizing manual interventions, significantly reducing workforce exposure to hazardous conditions Impact on safety and efficiency Since its deployment, Robowell has delivered: • Up to 30% optimization in gas lift consumption, ensuring controlled well operations • Up to 5% increase in operating efficiency, reducing downtime and energy waste • Improved well integrity monitoring, enhancing risk detection and prevention With safety at the core of this innovation, Robowell is enabling ADNOC to proactively manage well risks, reduce incidents, and enhance operational resilience. Following its success at NASR, ADNOC plans to expand Robowell across 500-plus wells, reinforcing its commitment to safe, efficient, and sustainable well operations. In 2024, ADNOC deployed RoboWell, an AI-powered autonomous well control system developed by AIQ, at its offshore NASR field, marking the world’s first offshore implementation of such technology. RoboWell enhances well safety and operational reliability by: • Automating real-time well monitoring and adjustments, reducing the risk of human error • Detecting and responding to anomalies almost instantly, preventing potential well integrity failures • Reducing manual interventions, significantly reducing workforce exposure to hazardous conditions Impact on safety and efficiency Since its deployment, RoboWell has delivered: • Up to 30% optimization in gas lift consumption, ensuring controlled well operations • Up to 5% increase in operating efficiency, reducing downtime and energy waste • Improved well integrity monitoring, enhancing risk detection and prevention With safety at the core of this innovation, RoboWell is enabling ADNOC to proactively manage well risks, reduce incidents and enhance operational resilience. Following its success at NASR, ADNOC plans to expand RoboWell across 500-plus wells, reinforcing its commitment to safe, efficient, and sustainable well operations. RoboWell: automating safety in well operations design “ RoboWell has significantly improved our operations at ADNOC. By autonomously capturing data and managing wells, RoboWell allows us to control these wells from a central control room. This innovation reduces the need for physical inspections at the wellhead, enhancing both safety and efficiency. It's like running a virtual command center, making our processes safer, smoother and more reliable. It is an example of how AI and advanced technologies can have a positive impact on the world.” ● Ali Al Ruwahi Senior Vice President, Thamama Excellence Center, ADNOC 54
