AIQ, the Abu Dhabi-based AI pioneer, is continuing with its drive to push forward AI adoption in the energy sector through a partnership with SLB to accelerate autonomous energy operations through the Agora edge AI and IOT solutions
Agora edge offers real-time remote connectivity and the ability to host AI applications for autonomous operations.
The collaboration will harness the capabilities of edge computing and AI to enable autonomous production, real-time data analytics and ensure seamless communication across production environments. It will enable customers to unlock value, reduce costs, boost automation, improve efficiency, minimize emissions, and enhance worker safety.
AIQ and SLB will also develop a framework to accelerate the deployment of edge AI workflows, including AIQ's RoboWell autonomous well control solutions, and SLB's suite of edge AI applications to accelerate the integration of AI in upstream and downstream operations.
Magzhan Kenesbai, acting managing director of AIQ said, “The closer collaboration between AIQ and SLB reflects our shared vision on the transformational impact autonomous capabilities can deliver to upstream operations. AIQ is committed to partnering with leading global technology providers to accelerate deployment and time-to-value of our AI solutions.”
Rakesh Jaggi, president for Digital & Integration, SLB, said, “Edge AI is a solution to the industry challenge to balance production throughput, operational costs, and emissions reduction, all while ensuring the safety of our personnel. Over the past five years, we’ve seen the impact of turning insights into autonomous actions with edge AI, through numerous SLB deployments of the technology globally, including in the Gulf region. Our partnership with AIQ, a regional leader, will set new benchmarks in the industry by helping scale our operations.”
The collaboration follows the announcement in December that AIQ has partnered with SLB to integrate its Advanced Reservoir 360 (AR360) solution with SLB’s Petrel software, which will deliver an improvement of asset reservoir understanding through data integration. The AR360 solution was in fact launched as a collaboration between ADNOC, AIQ and SLB. It is a reservoir visualisation and performance application that incorporates all subsurface data into a single integrated system, using AI and automation to optimise the field development plan (FDP).
