The United Arab Emirates’ (UAE) telecom and technology company e& is set to build a private 5G wireless network spanning 11,000 square kilometers for the energy giants, Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC).
A Game-Changing Project
The network will deliver high-bandwidth connectivity across ADNOC’s onshore and offshore operations, enabling the company to integrate advanced artificial intelligence (AI) solutions at its most remote facilities. This project is expected to generate $1.5 billion in value during its first five years of operation.
Enhancing Efficiency and Safety
Once completed in 2025, the 5G network will relay information from sensors embedded in more than 12,000 wells and pipelines to autonomous control rooms. This will help make real-time recommendations to increase the lifespan of these assets, ensure safety in the field, and reduce costs through automation.
A Milestone in ADNOC’s Journey
Dr. Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, UAE Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology and ADNOC Managing Director and Group CEO, commented: “This landmark project with e& is a milestone step in ADNOC’s journey to become the world’s most AI-enabled energy company.”
A Strategic Partnership
Jassem Mohamed Bu Ataba Alzaabi, Chairman of e&, added: “e&’s collaboration with ADNOC will enable the creation of a cutting-edge private 5G network, underscoring our dedication to harnessing technology and powering sustainable and intelligent transformation in the energy sector.”
