Baker Hughes has signed a strategic technology collaboration agreement with ADNOC to explore collaboration opportunities around the research and development (R&D) of technologies that can help drive a sustainable energy future in the UAE.
The agreement was signed during ADIPEC 2022, and is in line with the objectives of the UAE’s In-Country Value program. The agreement supports the development of home-grown innovations, with an opportunity to leverage the ADNOC Research and Innovation Centre to foster R&D projects.
The agreement will aim to support the development of technology proofs of concept, technology scale-ups and technology pilots while exploring the feasibility of their deployment across key projects at ADNOC.
Sophie Hildebrand, ADNOC Group Chief Technology Officer, said: “ADNOC is accelerating the development and deployment of advanced technologies to provide smarter, lower carbon, energy to the world. Together with Baker Hughes, we will focus on finding innovations that help the UAE achieve its Net-Zero by 2050 strategic initiative, while also generating In-County Value.”
Zaher Ibrahim, Vice President, Europe, Middle East and Africa, Baker Hughes, said: “We are honoured to be signing this agreement with ADNOC, which reinforces our commitment to supporting In-Country Value and innovation in the UAE. As an energy technology company, we are keen to work with ADNOC to locally develop technologies that can support a more sustainable energy future in the UAE and beyond.”
