his enhancement brings the field's total production to 140,000 barrels per day (bpd) and aligns with ADNOC's goal to reach a daily production capacity of 5 million barrels by 2027.

Situated 120 kilometers northwest of Abu Dhabi, the SARB field now utilizes advanced digital solutions that enable remote operation from Zirku island, 20km away. Integration of remote monitoring, smart well operations, and production management technologies at the control center supports real-time decision-making and has led to increased field capacity while reducing costs and emissions. The digitalization of the field paves the way for the deployment of additional AI solutions to further improve operations.

AI and digitalization are at the heart of ADNOC’s smart growth strategy to help responsibly meet the world’s growing energy demand. By deploying industry-leading technologies at SARB field, we have increased production capacity while enhancing the safety, sustainability and efficiency of our operations, strengthening ADNOC’s position as one of the world’s lowest-cost and least carbon intensive energy producers.

The implemented technologies at SARB field include tools created by AIQ, a prominent AI provider in Abu Dhabi, offering innovative solutions for the energy sector. AIQ's DrillRep and OptiDrill solutions leverage data from rigs and wells to enhance drilling efficiency and optimization. Through the analysis of daily drilling reports and rig sensor data, AIQ's technology provides valuable insights and recommendations to enhance the drilling process.
