AIQ, a Presight company, announced today a landmark $340 million contract with ADNOC to deploy ENERGYai and associated AI solutions across ADNOC’s upstream value chain, building on the successful completion of its transformative proof-of-concept phase.
The three-year contract will see ENERGYai and several related AI solutions rolled out across ADNOC’s upstream operations, driving optimization and efficiency.
“ADNOC is on a mission to become the world’s most AI-enabled energy company, maximizing the potential of AI to drive efficiency and value creation across our operations. We look forward to working with AIQ to scale ENERGYai across the upstream business, consolidating our position as a responsible and reliable supplier of energy to global markets, delivering the energy system of the future,” stated Musabbeh Al Kaabi, ADNOC upstream CEO.
World-first agentic AI solution to transform energy industry
Built on 70 years of proprietary data and knowledge, ENERGYai combines large language model (LLM) technology with cutting-edge agentic AI, which is trained for specific workflows across ADNOC’s upstream value chain.
The technology offers a new level of efficiency and precision in critical tasks, from seismic analysis to geological modeling and real-time process monitoring, reducing time for essential business processes from months to days, and minimizing cost and emissions in the process.
ENERGYai will also use LLMs to enable engineers to “talk” to ADNOC’s proprietary data, maximizing individual productivity and delivering new insights and opportunities.
“This contract marks a defining moment for AIQ. In partnership with ADNOC, we have developed a world-first agentic AI solution that is scalable across the entire energy value chain and has the potential to transform the industry as we know it,” noted Magzhan Kenesbai, acting managing director, AIQ.

First operational version to be completed in mid-2025
Developed by AIQ with ADNOC experts, in collaboration with G42 and Microsoft, ENERGYai will integrate best-in-class technologies, including Azure cloud stack, agentic AI platform functionality, Open Subsurface Data Universe framework (OSDU) and OpenAI models.
“Agentic AI is widely recognized by experts as the future of AI development and integration. Here in the UAE, through Presight’s collaboration with AIQ and ADNOC, we are not just predicting the future, we are creating it with applied intelligence today. ENERGYai is a world-leading solution that will set the benchmark for innovation and excellence in agentic AI,” stated Thomas Pramotedham, CEO of Presight.
AIQ expects the first operational, scalable version of ENERGYai to be completed in mid-2025. This version will include five fully operational AI agents covering tasks within subsurface operations and will be test-deployed across several upstream assets, with plans to scale its application to thousands of additional wells.
Over the three-year contract term, AIQ will complete the rollout of ENERGYai to all ADNOC’s upstream assets, comprising more than 28 producing fields, including some of the world’s largest and least carbon-intensive oilfields.
