At ADIPEC, Rockwell Automation will demonstrate how integrated process and power solutions, secure digital architectures and intelligent remote operations help energy producers improve performance, enhance cyber resilience and advance sustainable business models throughout the value chain

“Energy leaders are asking for measurable and scalable outcomes, not isolated pilots,” said Ediz Eren, regional vice president, Middle East, Türkiye & Africa, Rockwell Automation. “Our approach connects plant-wide control, electrical power, safety and analytics in a single, open architecture so operators can see, decide and act faster. The result is improved data availability, optimal energy intensity and a security posture suited to today’s threat landscape, delivered with partners who understand the realities of energy operations.”

At ADIPEC Rockwell Automation will spotlight three areas:
• Operational excellence: Unified control of process and power, real-time diagnostics and KPI-driven decision support to cut downtime, compress cycle times and optimise energy use.
• Cybersecure operations: Zero-trust-aligned architectures, asset visibility and threat detection designed for high-risk OT environments. Cyber consultants will share practical steps to help secure legacy infrastructure, enable remote operations safely and align with evolving regulations such as NIS2.
• Sustainability at scale: Energy management, predictive analytics and advanced control to reduce flaring, increase electrical efficiency and support emissions management, extending to energy-transition applications such as carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS), and green hydrogen through scalable automation and technology stacks.

These priorities reflect findings from a recent Rockwell Automation-commissioned report highlighting AI, IoT and cybersecurity as key drivers of digital transformation across the oil and gas value chain, with adoption shifting from isolated deployments to integrated digital ecosystems.

Rockwell Automation’s PartnerNetwork ecosystem and energy-specialist collaborators will join on stand to showcase integrated solutions across upstream, midstream, LNG and new energy.

“Customers want tested solutions that reduce project risk and deliver lifecycle value,” Eren continued. “By combining our integrated architecture with partner innovation, we help producers and equipment manufacturers standardise designs, enable virtual commissioning and support remote diagnostics, shortening time-to-first-oil or gas and improving total cost of ownership.”

The rise of energy and technology sovereignty, underinvestment concerns in oil and gas and the growing role of AI and innovation were key themes at the 46th Annual Energy Intelligence Forum

The event, which took place in October in London, brought together the leading energy ministers, CEOs and senior executives from the Americas, Europe, Middle East, Africa and Asia under the theme: “Restructuring the World Order: Energy in the Age of Protectionism”. Over three days, the Forum discussions centred around the need for nations to prioritise energy security in a more multipolar world, and how the rapid rise of technology will transform the energy industry.

Lara Sidawi Moore, deputy CEO and chairman of the Executive Committee at Energy Intelligence summarised the vital role that the Energy Intelligence Forum plays in the future of the energy industry in her remarks: “In a world defined by change, clarity is power. At the heart of every decision lies intelligence – sharp, uncompromising, and forward-looking. This is where insight meets influence.”

Indian Petroleum Secretary Pankaj Jain told the Forum that security of energy supply concerns have led India to push domestic deepwater exploration. The need for greater energy independence is behind India’s target to produce 5 million tons per year of domestically produced green hydrogen by 2030, which Jain said will be met “very easily.”

His Excellency Karim Badawi, Egypt’s Minister of Petroleum and Mineral Resources, outlined efforts to attract greater investment into oil and gas exploration. He called for an “energy injection” with at least 14 exploration wells planned for the Mediterranean alone and 100 across onshore and offshore blocks in Egypt.

PETRONAS president and Group CEO Tan Sri Tengku Muhammad Taufik emphasised the essential role that oil and gas must play in the energy transition, and shared concerns of underinvestment. “We need more exploration, whether we like it or not,” he said.

“The transition hype has not been matched by reality on the ground,” said Amin H Nasser, president and CEO of Aramco. "This is not a true energy transition, this is an energy addition which requires all hands on deck."

European, US and Australian energy CEOs cautioned that the EU’s proposed Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) and methane regulations threaten to undermine Europe’s energy security. ConocoPhillips CEO Ryan Lance warned that if the regulations, which carry fines of up to 5% of global revenues, were not changed, his company would divert gas supplies away from Europe. “We'll bypass Europe and go to Asia and to other parts of the world. It's that significant,” Lance told delegates.

The conference also addressed how technology is accelerating the energy transition. EIG Global Energy Partners CEO Blair Thomas said that low-carbon energy still needs to prove it can deliver competitive returns. "We're going to have to retrench, we're going to have to get more efficient, and deliver rates of return," Thomas said.

Octopus Energy CEO Greg Jackson highlighted how energy disruptors are reshaping energy production and consumption, from smart use of renewables-based electricity, to cheap battery storage, to the widespread adoption of electric vehicles.

AI’s growing influence on energy demand and supply formed a major part of the discussion on Oct. 15. Following a new white paper published by Energy Intelligence, AI and Energy: Beyond the Hype, AI specialists agreed that power demand will rise through 2035, after which the picture becomes less clear. Growth will vary globally, with some regions more exposed to higher usage than others.

AI offers opportunities across the energy industry, from exploration to low-carbon technology development. However, there are also a number of risks that companies will need to manage, including growing local opposition to data centres in some jurisdictions, geopolitical competition over chips and resources and critical infrastructure vulnerabilities.

Alex Schindelar, president of Energy Intelligence, said, “We’ve identified two new trends in the geopolitics of energy. First is the rise of energy sovereignty, which is the drive for nations to produce as much energy as they can.

“The second is technology sovereignty, where countries strive to keep critical minerals, technology manufacturing, data centres and intellectual property within their own borders. These themes were at the heart of the discussion at this year’s Forum."
