Borouge Implements AI Operations at Ruwais for Enhanced Efficiency
- AI operations at Ruwais show potential efficiency gains of up to 20% and cost reductions of up to 15%.
- The initiative is part of Borouge's AI, Digitalisation & Technology programme targeting $575 million in value by 2025.
- Conducted with Honeywell, the proof of concept aims to enhance process safety and sustainability.
- Borouge plans to scale the technology across its Ruwais facilities.
AI Operations at Ruwais
Borouge has completed a proof of concept for AI-powered autonomous operations at its Ruwais facility, in collaboration with Honeywell. This initiative aims to enhance operational performance and competitiveness, aligning with ADNOC's goal to become the most AI-enabled energy company globally.
Efficiency and Cost Reduction
The trials conducted in 2025 demonstrated potential efficiency gains of up to 20%, a 20% reduction in downtime, and up to a 15% decrease in operating costs. These improvements are expected to enhance production performance while significantly reducing energy consumption and emissions.
Strategic Program
This development is part of Borouge's AI, Digitalisation & Technology (AIDT) programme, which targets $575 million in value generation by 2025. The programme focuses on disciplined execution, operational impact, and long-term value creation through AI and digital-led initiatives.
Future Plans
Following the successful proof of concept, Borouge plans to further explore the potential of autonomous operations and assess opportunities to scale the technology across its Ruwais facilities. The collaboration with Honeywell highlights the potential of advanced connected solutions to improve efficiency, reliability, and operational performance at scale.
