Adnoc has established a new well delivery performance standard, drilling well sections of more than one mile in length within a single day in some of the UAE’s most complex carbonate formations, including 6,428 feet completed in 24 hours.
The achievement highlights Adnoc’s focus on operational
excellence through the integration of advanced technologies, data analytics and
collaboration between its teams to accelerate well delivery and bring energy
supplies online faster.
A key driver of the improvement is Adnoc’s Real-Time
Intelligence Centre (RTIC), where engineers, operational specialists and
subsurface experts use live data and advanced analytics to optimise performance
and improve decision-making around the clock.
Adnoc said each well generates thousands of data points that
are used to enhance efficiency, safety and environmental performance across
operations.
Dr Ahmed Alebri, CEO of Adnoc Onshore, said, “Technology,
data and collaboration are helping us continuously improve performance across
our operations. By combining Adnoc Onshore’s deep understanding of our
reservoirs with Adnoc Drilling’s world-class capabilities, we are unlocking
greater value from every well, accelerating the delivery of production capacity
and bringing energy to market more efficiently in support of Adnoc’s growth
ambitions.”
Abdulla Al Messabi, CEO of Adnoc Drilling, added, “Every
well teaches the next. Every operation generates new insights that help improve
the one that follows. By combining AI, real-time intelligence and decades of
operational experience, we are creating a continuous improvement engine that is
transforming performance across our business. The result is safer operations,
smarter execution, faster well delivery and more value from every well as we
help power the UAE’s energy future.”
Adnoc said the milestone reflects its strategy of capturing
operational insights, sharing knowledge across teams and applying lessons
learned at scale.
Through the use of AI-enabled tools, advanced analytics and
digital solutions, the company continues to improve execution, strengthen
energy security and support the UAE’s long-term economic growth. -OGN/TradeArabia News Service
