Kent shortlisted for Oil & Gas Awards – Saudi Arabia with Ennova AI

Kent has been shortlisted for the Oil & Gas Awards – Saudi Arabia in the Best Use of AI category for our work with Ennova AI, recognising its role in driving innovation across energy operations.

At Kent, AI & Digital solutions are embedded across the full lifecycle of energy assets, from design and drilling to production and late-life management. At the heart of this is Ennova AI, our scalable digital platform that enables real-time operational oversight, combining drilling optimisation, predictive modelling, machine learning and digital twins to help teams act faster, reduce risk and maximise performance.

The power of Ennova AI was recently demonstrated through a large-scale concept study. The study showed how AI-guided drilling, intelligent completions, automated logistics, and digital twin integration could be coordinated from a central operations centre to support hundreds of wells annually. By consolidating functions such as risk detection, production forecasting and predictive maintenance, the approach provides a blueprint for more autonomous and efficient operations.

Being shortlisted for this award reflects our belief that innovation is more than technology, it is about reshaping how the industry works, bringing together intelligence, automation and human expertise to deliver safer, smarter and more sustainable outcomes.
