Global energy technology company SLB and AIQ, the Abu Dhabi-based AI champion for the energy sector, have teamed up to advance AIQ’s continued development and deployment of its ENERGYai agentic AI solution across ADNOC’s subsurface operations.

ENERGYai combines large language model (LLM) technology with cutting-edge agentic AI, which is trained for specific workflows across ADNOC’s upstream value chain.

Early indications of the solution's capabilities in a test environment using 15% of ADNOC’s data, and looking specifically at two fields, resulted in a seismic agent achieving a 10-fold increase in the speed of seismic interpretation, and a 70% increase in precision.

AIQ and SLB will jointly design and deploy new agentic AI workflows across ADNOC’s subsurface operations, including for geology, seismic explorations, and reservoir modeling, supported by SLB’s Lumi data and AI platform, and other digital technologies.

Designed to help customers boost productivity and efficiency, the Lumi platform enhances data access, streamlines workflows, and scales AI solutions seamlessly.

A scalable version of ENERGYai is under development, which will include AI agents covering tasks within subsurface operations. Deployment will commence in the fourth quarter of 2025.

ENERGYai will power agentic AI to automate complex, high-impact tasks, increasing efficiency, enhancing decision-making and optimizing production across ADNOC’s operations.

“This partnership reflects our vision to harness AI for energy optimization, and we are enthusiastic that SLB shares this outlook. The collaboration between AIQ and SLB enables the development of sophisticated AI workflows that integrate seamlessly with ADNOC’s infrastructure, driving efficiency, scalability, and innovation at every stage of the energy lifecycle,” said Dennis Jol, CEO of AIQ.

“Our collaborations with AIQ have already delivered innovative solutions, and now we are supporting the building of the foundation for the next era of intelligent energy operations together with AIQ’s ENERGYai. This agentic AI solution is set to drive long-term value and operational resilience across ADNOC’s energy value chain,” added Rakesh Jaggi, president, Digital & Integration, SLB.
