ADNOC L&S achieves 15-20% fleet efficiency gains with AI-powered integrated logistics

ADNOC Logistics & Services manages offshore support vessel operations across multiple Abu Dhabi oilfields simultaneously, including major developments such as Hail and Ghasha islands and the Al Omairah project in the Lower Zakum area. ADNOC is targeting 5 million barrels per day production capacity by 2027. In the market, DP2 vessel daily premiums have doubled to US$5,000–$6,000 over two years.

ADNOC L&S developed an in-house AI platform for integrated logistics management spanning all Abu Dhabi oilfields. The system optimises vessel deployment, route planning, and cargo consolidation. All owned vessels have VSAT or Starlink satellite connectivity, enabling real-time data transmission for machinery performance monitoring and fuel consumption tracking. The solution was built internally without a named third-party vendor.

The AI logistics platform delivered 15%–20% fleet efficiency improvements, enabling ADNOC L&S to move more cargo across its oilfield network using fewer vessel deployments. DP2 vessels command daily premiums of US$5,000–$6,000, double the level from two years prior. All owned vessels have VSAT or Starlink connectivity enabling real-time data transmission for machinery performance monitoring and fuel consumption tracking.

• 15–20% fleet efficiency improvement
• US$5,000–$6,000/day DP2 vessel daily premium, double the level from two years prior
• 5M barrels/day ADNOC production capacity target by 2027

• Optimise logistics across the entire oilfield portfolio together, covering vessel deployment, route planning and cargo consolidation.
• Real-time satellite connectivity (VSAT or Starlink) on every owned vessel allows machinery performance and fuel consumption data to be transmitted in real time.
• Pool-based operating models paired with multi-year contracts (ADNOC L&S targets five-year terms) stabilise supply chains and create the investment certainty vessel owners need to maintain fleet quality.
