Best of LinkedIn: ADIPEC 2025

We curate most relevant posts about Digital Transformation & Tech on LinkedIn and regularly share key takeaways. This edition offers an extensive overview of the ADIPEC 2025 Exhibition and Conference in Abu Dhabi, highlighting major themes, partnerships, and technological advancements shaping the global energy sector. A central focus is the strategic binding agreement between Eni and PETRONAS to establish a joint venture, NewCo, combining upstream assets in Indonesia and Malaysia with planned investments exceeding $15 billion to boost regional production and gas supply. Simultaneously, the event underscored the urgent convergence of Energy and Artificial Intelligence (AI), with leaders repeatedly stressing that future growth depends on "energy reinforcement, not replacement," and that policies must be pragmatic to power massive AI infrastructure, as seen in Microsoft’s substantial investment in the UAE for data centres. Furthermore, several sources introduced specific AI technologies, such as SLB’s Agentic AI assistant Tela™ and ADNOC’s commitment to becoming an AI-native company, while also featuring warnings from executives at ExxonMobil and QatarEnergy about potential exits from Europe due to stringent climate legislation.
