Jakarta: AIQ, the Abu Dhabi-based artificial intelligence pioneer focused on transforming the energy sector, and the Special Task Force for Upstream Oil and Gas Business Activities of the Republic of Indonesia (SKK Migas), have entered a strategic agreement to implement AIQ’s Reservoir Performance Advisor (RPA) module from its Advanced Reservoir 360 (AR360) platform across upstream operations in Indonesia.
According to Emirates News Agency, AR360 is a predictive, automated assessment tool providing a 75 percent efficiency gain in user productivity in performing comprehensive reservoir model reviews. The application democratises access to all reservoir model data to asset team members, with information made accessible via a dashboard in the cloud. Access to the RPA module enables users to unlock powerful machine learning and automation capabilities directly within their existing workflows.
The agreement further lays the foundation for joint initiatives in AI, asset digitalisation, and autonomous operations, unlocking new pathways for innovation and resilience in Indonesia’s upstream energy sector. Dennis Jol, CEO of AIQ, stated that Indonesia’s upstream sector faces unique challenges with mature fields requiring sophisticated reservoir management. This agreement directly addresses SKK Migas’ need to optimise production from existing assets while reducing operational costs, demonstrating how targeted AI applications can extend field life and improve recovery rates.
Dr. Djoko Siswanto, Head of SKK Migas, commented that the collaboration with AIQ reflects SKK Migas’ commitment to driving innovation and building a smarter, more resilient upstream sector. By leveraging advanced AI capabilities through strategic partnerships, they aim to enhance national energy security, boost operational performance, and position Indonesia as a regional leader in digital transformation.
This partnership builds on AIQ’s growing international presence, following agreements with national energy players in Kazakhstan and Colombia, where AIQ’s solutions are being applied to streamline operations, add value, and accelerate digitalisation.
