ADNOC needed to improve performance across a large upstream drilling fleet and operationalize AI at rig scale rather than in isolated pilots.
over 120 drilling rigs
Solution
The source describes a concrete enterprise deployment of an AI platform operated by ADNOC with SLB across more than 120 drilling rigs in ADNOC’s upstream business. The implementation is presented as a production rollout tied directly to live drilling operations, with the stated objective of strengthening upstream performance across the rig fleet. SLB is the named external technology provider and ADNOC is the operating customer adopting the platform in its drilling environment, indicating a joint deployment model rather than a purely internal build. The source confirms the AI platform, the upstream drilling context, and the scale of deployment, but it does not name the platform itself or disclose detailed ingest, storage, model-hosting, orchestration, or downstream integration architecture. This extract therefore preserves the confirmed deployment facts and leaves undisclosed technical layers explicit rather than inferred.
Solution architecture
Architecture clues
- Deployment spans more than 120 drilling rigs.
- SLB is the named external provider associated with the AI platform deployment.
- Use case is in ADNOC's upstream drilling operations.
