Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) announced a partnership with AI firm G42 and OpenAI. The agreement, revealed on November 2, 2026, makes ADNOC the first energy company to use OpenAI’s frontier models through G42. The collaboration will initially focus on ADNOC’s upstream operations, targeting seismic surveying and production forecasting with the ENERGYai platform. ADNOC previously awarded a $340 million three‑year contract to AIQ, a G42 subsidiary, to roll out the platform across its upstream assets.
