The Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) announced this week the launch of the ADNOC Virtual Energy Center, an online platform that provides an immersive experience across ADNOC’s full value chain. The energy center was launched on the sidelines of the Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition Conference (ADIPEC) which is taking place virtually.

Designed within a 3D environment, the virtual energy center showcases four different virtual rooms, each demonstrating through innovative and interactive exhibits and displays, ADNOC’s history and transformation journey to becoming the national oil company of the future. 

It tells the extraordinary story of how as a result of ADNOC’s transformation over the past four years, the company has built resilience and managed to ensure uninterrupted operations while delivering against its strategic priorities during this difficult period. 

His Excellency Dr. Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, UAE Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology and ADNOC Group CEO, said: “We are delighted to launch the ADNOC Virtual Energy Center, an innovative platform that visually demonstrates the steps we have taken to strengthen ADNOC’s resilience as part of our transformation and how we are sustainably unlocking and maximizing value from Abu Dhabi’s hydrocarbon resources, in line with the Leadership’s wise directives. The virtual center also offers an insight into the essential role the oil and gas industry will play in enabling economic development in the post-Covid recovery by ensuring a reliable supply of energy to power global growth, and I encourage members of the public to access the center.”

The first-of-its-kind center gives a first-hand explanation of how ADNOC is delivering on its 2030 strategy to create a more profitable upstream, more valuable downstream, and a more sustainable and economical gas supply, all supported by more proactive and adaptive marketing. The center will be continuously updated to reflect the progress ADNOC is making as it executes its strategy. 

The ADNOC Virtual Center also provides an understanding of the way ADNOC is leveraging innovative technologies to enhance efficiencies, optimize performance, and reinforce its commitment to environmental stewardship to remain among the least carbon-intensive producers in the oil and gas industry. In addition, the virtual center will support ADNOC’s science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) focused initiatives aimed at promoting STEM education among children in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
