ADNOC, recently announced the deployment of an industry-leadingย artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled process optimization technology.
According to Industry sources, Neuron 5ย wasย developedย byย ADNOCย and initially deployed at ADNOC Onshoreโs Northeast Bab (NEB) field and ADNOC Gasโs Taweelah gas compression plantย acrossย hundreds of pieces of equipment.
Industry sources further added that this innovative solutionย autonomouslyย monitors the performance of critical equipment, permitting process optimization and preventative maintenance, curbing operational downtime, boosting efficiency, and reducing the need for time-consuming manual inspections.
Neuron 5 also leverages advanced AI models and deep learning algorithms to predict maintenance needs and monitor equipment performance by interpreting data, such as pressure, temperature, and vibration, received from sensors on critical equipment.
Abdulmunim Saif Al Kindy, ADNOC Upstream Executive Director, stated: โADNOC is placing AI at the heart of its operations and leveraging industry-leading advanced technologies to help responsibly meet the worldโs growing energy demand. The development and deployment of Neuron 5 across our upstream and downstream facilities demonstrates this strategy in action and highlights our continued progress towards our vision to become the worldโs most AI-enabled energy company.โ
Industry sources further added that following the successful initial deployment, Neuron 5 will now be rolled out in all ADNOC facilities across thousands of critical pieces of equipment essential for production, including compressors, valves, and generators.
The pilot phase of Neuron 5 indicated that the technology has the potential to cut the number of unplanned shutdowns by 50% and enhance planned maintenance intervals across operations by 20%, while freeing ADNOC operators for more productive activities.
Neuron 5 was developed by ADNOCโs Thamama Excellence Center, AIQ, and AVEVA.
