ADNOC has partnered with SLB to deploy an AI-powered Real-Time Operations Center (RTOC) across its fleet of over 120 onshore and offshore drilling rigs, aiming to boost efficiency, reduce risks, and accelerate decision-making.   The platform, built on SLB's DrillOps solutions, consolidates live drilling data into a unified digital environment and is hosted on ADNOC's sovereign cloud in the UAE to ensure secure in-country data storage.   The AI system reduces engineering workload by 30%–40%, enabling engineers to manage two to three times more rigs. Tasks that once took a full day are now completed in minutes, and reporting cycles have shrunk from days to hours.   It can flag potential issues before they escalate, cutting incident response times by 4–12 hours and helping avoid 1–2 days of rig downtime through continuous monitoring and AI-driven insights.   ADNOC's Upstream CEO called this a shift from AI ambition to real-world impact; SLB's Digital president said the solution paves the way for more autonomous operations.   The platform is now fully deployed across ADNOC Drilling's fleet, supporting both onshore and offshore operations.   In May, ADNOC Drilling's CFO stated that, if approved, the company is ready to raise the UAE's oil production capacity beyond the 5 million bbl/d target by 2027, with sufficient rigs, technology, and partnerships in place.   From: https://egyptoil-gas.com/news/adnoc-slb-deploy-ai-across-120-drilling-rigs/

Baker Hughes has won a significant multi-year contract from Kuwait Oil Company (KOC) to deploy advanced artificial lift technologies aimed at increasing production across Kuwait's oil and gas fields. This agreement supports Kuwait's strategy to enhance recovery from its mature reservoirs.   Under the contract, Baker Hughes will supply electrical submersible pumps (ESPs), along with related installation, monitoring, and maintenance services. The systems will integrate with the company's FusionPro and Leucipa digital solutions to improve reliability and optimize performance.   This award builds on a strong, nearly two-decade partnership in Kuwait. Amerino Gatti, Executive Vice President of Oilfield Services and Equipment at Baker Hughes, stated the contract reflects the company's ongoing role in unlocking value from the country's mature fields.   Baker Hughes maintains a substantial local presence, including a dedicated 25,000-square-meter artificial lift workshop and a recent memorandum of understanding to establish an R&D center at the Ahmadi Innovation Valley. This new contract follows a separate third-quarter award from KOC for advanced wireline and perforation services.   From: https://egyptoil-gas.com/news/baker-hughes-wins-major-koc-contact-to-boost-kuwait-oil-output/
