AIQ and Siemens Energy said on November 9 they are teaming up to launch autonomous, remotely run operations technology for energy and industrial-process customers. Siemens Energy will lead the effort, and Abu Dhabi-based AIQ's RoboWell autonomous well-control application will be among the first products marketed under the new offering.

The companies announced the collaboration at the ADIPEC 2026 energy conference in Abu Dhabi. They did not disclose financial terms of the agreement.

AIQ is bringing its AI-driven operational software, AI agents, and autonomous decision-support tools to the partnership, while Siemens Energy is contributing automation systems, digital-twin modeling, and reliability and asset-performance-management services. In its first phase, the offering will center on autonomous and remote operations, drilling-focused solutions, and digital services built around equipment reliability. The companies said the aim is to help customers move more quickly from early pilot projects to running autonomous operations at full production scale.

At the conference, AIQ and Siemens Energy showed RoboWell running as part of the wider autonomous-operations system the two companies are building for customers.

Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) said in July 2024 that RoboWell, AIQ's system for autonomous well control, was already running on 10 wells at its offshore NASR field, with plans to expand the system to more than 300 wells.

AIQ Chief Executive Dennis Jol said the company's solutions have "already delivered measurable results in the UAE." He said the collaboration with Siemens Energy could help extend the technology's use to offshore platforms, engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contractors, and markets outside the UAE.

Khalid Bin Hadi, Siemens Energy's managing director for the United Arab Emirates, said the partnership "gives us the opportunity to develop a scalable offering" that would provide customers "a credible path to autonomous and remote operations."

AIQ was established in 2020 as a joint venture between ADNOC and G42, the Abu Dhabi-based technology group. G42's data and artificial-intelligence subsidiary, Presight, agreed in May 2024 to acquire a 51% stake in AIQ, becoming the company's majority shareholder.
