Chapter 1: Introduction
Overview of the study
The oil field industry is not ignorant of the digital fields or big data anymore. It has
been found to be initiating the utility of technology and adding the digital innovation for the
utility in the oil fields. The oil fields of ADNOC or Abu Dhabi National Oil Company have
also started to use Artificial Intelligence system in the essential parts of the organization. In
the year 2018, the organization hosted an inaugural event where they established the fact that
the organization of ADNOC was hosting the ADNOC Artificial Intelligence Forum (Juaidi et
al. 2016). The event made it easier to realise how the organization was aware of all the details
about the utility of the technology within an organization making the industry shift at
random, how the Artificial Industry rose to change the face of the industry and humankind
and how does the collective efforts of Artificial Intelligence can make up the industry and the
organization rise to new adventures for unlocking several new values from the traditional
methods. However, it also needs to be understood that the utility of Artificial Intelligence is
extremely new to the industry and the people might not be used to having the idea of feasibly
using the Artificial Intelligence (Temizel et al. 2019). Thus, it is quite evident that the
organization of ADNOC is keen on applying the policies and governance for the
implementation of the Artificial Intelligence for the transformation of the digital oil fields in
UAE. Therefore, the following research is to find out the relevance of the opportunities and
challenges that might occur due to the policies and governance of Artificial Intelligence in
Digital Oil field transformation in the United Arab Emirates; critically reviewing on the case
of ADNOC.
