ADNOC and SLB have deployed an AI-enabled Real-Time Operations Center across more than 120 drilling rigs, reducing engineering effort and incident response times while improving operational oversight.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Energy Storage. Wire is Fusion42's founder-focused intelligence feed: each story is connected to the funds and startups it names — every one with a live profile on Raise or Scout — so founders can follow the capital and the momentum behind the headline rather than just the headline itself. Wire analysis is one of the live surfaces Arthur reasons over.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You must re-evaluate your drilling tech stack now that ADNOC's AI platform sharply cuts downtime and boosts rig oversight. SLB’s deployment proves AI tools are no longer experimental but critical for competitive rig operations.
