AIQ

What AIQ does

AIQ is an Abu Dhabi-headquartered AI company established in 2020 as a joint venture between Presight (majority-owned by G42) and ADNOC, operating as a private enterprise AI vendor focused exclusively on the global energy sector. The company builds a comprehensive portfolio of AI solutions spanning subsurface, production, asset integrity, HSE, drilling, and custom agentic AI workflows, with its flagship platform ENERGYai combining large language models with agentic AI trained on ADNOC's 70 years of proprietary operational data. Supporting products include the Advanced Reservoir 360 platform with its Reservoir Performance Advisor system, the Workover Automation ML Platform, the FORESIGHT well-performance tool, the Victus intelligent drilling system, and AI Lab by AIQ, a dedicated research function staffed by researchers, engineers, and energy domain specialists. AIQ's solutions are deployed at major energy operators including ADNOC, Al Dhafra Petroleum, Woodside Energy, SKK Migas (Indonesia), and Weatherford, with reported outcomes including 77% CAPEX efficiency gains, 85% project time reductions, and 75% user productivity improvements.

AIQ's revenue model is anchored by a $340 million three-year enterprise contract with ADNOC covering deployment across more than 28 producing fields, supplemented by managed services and subscription contracts with other energy operators and government counterparties. The company pursues a hybrid go-to-market combining direct enterprise sales with strategic channel partnerships — SLB for ENERGYai subsurface deployment, Weatherford for workover automation, Baker Hughes, Kongsberg Digital, and NOV for drilling integration, TCS for implementation services, and regional partners such as SKK Migas (Indonesia), Ras Al Hamra LLC (Oman), and the Kazakhstan government for market entry. AIQ monetizes through multi-year enterprise engagements rather than per-seat or consumption pricing, leveraging compute and cloud infrastructure from Microsoft Azure, AWS, and NVIDIA within the broader G42 ecosystem. As of early 2026 the company has expanded operations beyond the UAE into India, Kazakhstan, Indonesia, Colombia, Albania, and Oman, and is valued at approximately $1.4 billion according to public commentary on its parent Presight.
