Abu Dhabi-based AIQ, the AI joint venture between ADNOC and G42’s Presight AI, is in early-stage talks to land its first US customers as it pushes its oil and gas technology abroad. The interest follows Genesis, an AI platform coordinating production monitoring, fault detection and maintenance.
Chief technology officer Saravan Penubarthi said US enquiries had picked up over the past month, with the company hoping to secure deals in 2027. Overseas customers account for about 5% of AIQ’s business, with operations in eight countries beyond the UAE, including Kuwait, Egypt, Colombia and Vietnam.
In September, AIQ agreed to deploy 1 million cameras for an unnamed Indian oil and gas conglomerate, and it is pursuing a larger contract in Kazakhstan after successful trials. Founded in 2020, AIQ counts SLB and Baker Hughes among its clients and signed an AED 1.24 billion agentic AI deal with ADNOC in March 2025.
