ADNOC and SLB deployed an AI-enabled Real-Time Operations Center across more than 120 onshore and offshore drilling rigs in the UAE. The DrillOps platform consolidates live rig data, analytics, and AI-generated insights within ADNOC’s cloud environment. Reported benefits include a 30–40% reduction in engineering effort, management of two to three times more rigs per engineer, and incident-response reductions of 4–12 hours. The system could avoid up to two days of rig downtime and supports ADNOC’s move toward more autonomous drilling operations.
