AIQ, the joint venture between Abu Dhabi National Oil Company and Presight, announced a strategic agreement to expand its artificial intelligence and machine‑learning services into India’s oil and gas markets. Formed in 2020, the venture leverages AI to boost profitability and operational efficiency for energy producers, building on its existing work with ADNOC. The new deal aims to bring AI‑driven predictive maintenance, reservoir optimization, and supply‑chain analytics to Indian firms, marking AIQ’s first major foray outside the Gulf region.

Industry analysts view the move as a signal that energy‑focused AI startups are gaining traction in emerging markets, where legacy infrastructure can benefit from digital transformation. While AIQ continues to derive most of its revenue from ADNOC, the partnership with Indian operators could diversify its client base and accelerate the adoption of AI tools across the global energy sector.
