Adnoc CEO spells outs ‘Oil and Gas 4.0’ mission

ABU DHABI: Adnoc is absorbing, embedding and applying cutting edge technology at every step of the production process from oil platforms to trading platforms, said Dr Sultan Al Jaber, CEO of Adnoc Group, in an interview with the Telegraph.

“In short, as we enter a new age of technology, the world remains reliant on a 160-year-old industry, whose core mission is to responsibly and efficiently stay ahead of tomorrow’s energy demand. At Adnoc, we call this mission “Oil and Gas 4.0.” “Oil and Gas 4.0” means rethinking how our industry adopts and applies technology, connects with non-traditional partners, shows environmental leadership and most importantly attracts and retains talent,” Al Jaber said.

He added that oil and gas will remain essential to the global energy mix and the basis for a wide range of modern consumer products.
