Oil and gas companies in the Gulf are incorporating the latest technologies to optimize and decarbonize their operations. Right from the Middle East’s first quantum computer for industrial applications to Artificial Intelligence, firms in Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar are actively adopting advanced solutions to remain the world’s energy powerhouse while engineering a low carbon future.
The oil and gas industry is not going anywhere, at least not anytime soon. With numerous industries dependent on this fossil-fuel sector, the oil and gas industry is under immense pressure to optimize as well as decarbonize its operations. Geographically, the Middle East dominates the world energy markets and the oil and gas companies in the region especially the Gulf are now incorporating next-gen and advanced technologies to enhance efficiency, reduce carbon footprints, and align with global sustainability mandates.
Live examples from the Gulf
Saudi Arabia: In Saudi Arabia, Aramco, one of the world’s largest integrated energy and chemicals companies, is making use of drones, robots and Artificial Intelligence (AI) in its plant operations. For instance, Aramco’s Abqaiq plants which is one of the largest crude stabilization plants in the world utilizes robots, drones and AI to carry out routine operations at the plant as well as the automatic adjustment of the oil stabilization process which helps in slashing CO2 emissions at the plant.
