Autonomous control has reached a new milestone at Aramco’s Fadhili gas plant

In a development that marks a significant step toward industrial autonomy in the energy sector, Aramco and Yokogawa Electric Corporation have commissioned multiple autonomous control AI agents at the Fadhili Gas Plant in Saudi Arabia

The deployment targets the acid gas removal (AGR) unit - one of the most dynamic and energy-intensive sections of a gas-processing facility - and demonstrates how reinforcement-learning-based control can enhance efficiency, stability, and sustainability in large-scale operations.
