KOC describes SANAD, a drilling knowledge assistant developed with SLB and piloted by its North & West Kuwait Drilling Group.
A later engineer interview reports one Lower Burgan well finished 13 days early and SOP-related savings of about KD 97,000 per well. It does not isolate SANAD’s contribution; neither figure is counted as an AI result or ROI.
Limits: No active-user count, output error rate, full cost or matched baseline is disclosed. Potential benefits across 47 wells are an extrapolation, not an achieved rollout. CAPEX, stage-gate and production modules remain roadmap items. This is separate from G Agent scheduling in AI-085.
