AIQ expands globally with Genesis AI-native OS and up to 30% optimisation on 500+ wells

AIQ’s senior leadership outlined how agentic AI, intelligent automation and human oversight are transforming energy operations, strengthening resilience and driving international growth.

At ADIPEC 2026, UAE-based AIQ introduced Genesis, its AI-native operating system for energy, positioning it as a coordinated AI platform that can deliver measurable commercial and operational value.

RoboWell, the autonomous well-control solution, is deployed across more than 500 wells and has delivered up to 30 % optimisation in gas-lift consumption, according to Senior Vice President Nurlan Turniyazov. The efficiency gains translate into fewer manual interventions, reduced crew risk offshore and lower emissions.

Chief Executive Officer Dennis Jol said the UAE’s demanding operating environment and emerging AI ecosystem gave AIQ a clear advantage for exporting technology. He described the firm’s expansion approach as starting with the operator’s most significant challenge, piloting a solution, and scaling it for measurable results.

Chief Technology Officer Saravan Penubarthi explained that Genesis provides a single operating layer for deploying, running and maintaining models, agents, compute and data flows.

Penubarthi added that coordination must be designed in, not bolted on, and highlighted bounded autonomy, granular access control, data sovereignty and openness as essential safeguards for integrating agentic AI into critical operational systems.

Our read: AIQ’s rollout of Genesis and the demonstrated optimisation of RoboWell illustrate a concrete shift from experimental AI to integrated, revenue-impacting solutions in energy, with the company leveraging the UAE’s ecosystem to accelerate global pilots while embedding human oversight and transparent governance.
