Industry Solutions
Oil, Gas & Energy
Saudi Arabia's energy sector is the backbone of the economy and a key pillar of Vision 2030 diversification. We deliver SCADA system integrations, IoT sensor platforms, predictive maintenance solutions, and AI-driven operational analytics for upstream, midstream, and downstream operations.
Why this matters
Saudi energy operators are running the world's most consequential upstream and downstream assets while simultaneously being pushed toward AI-driven optimisation, predictive maintenance, and tighter emissions accounting under Vision 2030. The platforms that win in this environment bridge legacy SCADA / DCS / historian systems into modern analytics layers without putting production OT anywhere near the public internet — a constraint most generic AI vendors don't understand. Mantiqi builds the OT-respecting data + analytics + AI layer that turns existing sensor and historian data into uptime, throughput, and safety wins.
Industry Challenges
Legacy SCADA systems that lack modern analytics capabilities
Unplanned downtime costing millions in lost production
Manual safety compliance and incident reporting processes
Fragmented data across drilling, refining, and distribution
Our Solutions
IoT-enabled real-time monitoring and anomaly detection
AI-powered predictive maintenance to prevent equipment failure
Automated safety compliance dashboards and incident tracking
Unified data lakes connecting operational technology with IT systems
How we deliver
- 01
OT/IT discovery + vendor scoping
Weeks 1–3
We map your current OT footprint (SCADA, DCS, historians, CMMS) and the IT analytics layer it'll feed. Aramco PSCM / SABIC vendor registration scoped where relevant. NCA / IEC 62443 cybersecurity zoning model agreed before a single packet crosses the OT/IT boundary.
- OT/IT architecture map
- Vendor scoping (Aramco PSCM / SABIC equivalent)
- Cybersecurity zoning model (IEC 62443 + NCA)
- Use-case scorecard (impact × feasibility)
- 02
Data foundation + historian bridges
Weeks 4–10
Time-series ingestion from OSIsoft PI / Honeywell / Emerson / Yokogawa historians into a unified data lake. Tag-mapping, unit harmonisation, and quality flags so downstream models don't drift on dirty data. Read-only OT-side connectors with full audit trail.
- Time-series data lake + tag registry
- Read-only historian bridges (PI / Honeywell / Emerson)
- Data-quality monitoring + lineage
- OT-network segmentation respected
- 03
Predictive + safety analytics
Weeks 9–16
Predictive-maintenance models trained on your historian data — pump cavitation, compressor surge, heat-exchanger fouling, bearing temperature anomalies. Models are evaluated against held-out failure events with false-positive bounds before being given the right to emit CMMS work orders. Safety-compliance dashboards layered on top.
- Predictive-maintenance models with evaluated baselines
- CMMS work-order integration (gated by model confidence)
- Safety-compliance + incident dashboards
- Emissions / energy-intensity reporting
- 04
Scale + handover
Ongoing
Quarterly model + tag refresh as the asset base changes, training for plant engineers to own day-to-day operations, and incremental capability additions (drone-based inspection ingestion, vision models for equipment defect detection, optimisation under new commodity prices). NCA + SDAIA annual reviews keep the posture intact.
- Quarterly model + tag refresh
- Plant-engineer training + runbooks
- Drone + vision model integration (optional)
- Annual NCA + SDAIA review support
What clients see
OT-network integrity preserved
Read-only historian bridges with IEC 62443 zoning — production OT never on the public internet
Failure events caught before they emit work orders
Models gated on evaluated false-positive bounds before being trusted to dispatch CMMS work
Unified analytics across upstream + downstream
One data lake, one tag registry — drilling, refining, distribution analysed in the same plane
Compliance & regulators we work with
Sets policy direction for upstream, midstream, downstream and renewables across the Kingdom. Strategic platforms align against current programme priorities (Saudi Green Initiative, hydrogen, renewables).
Aramco's Procurement, Supply Chain Management standards and Vendor ID register govern who can supply digital solutions into Aramco operations. Scoping vendor registration up-front avoids late-stage tender disqualification.
The NCA's ECC framework plus its operational-technology / industrial-control-system controls apply to anything touching production OT. Zoning, segmentation, and audit logging map to specific controls.
The international standard for industrial automation and control-system security. Zoning, conduit modelling, and security-level rating frame OT/IT integrations regardless of vendor.
Operational data, employee data, and any AI models trained on Saudi production data sit under SDAIA's policy umbrella. Particularly load-bearing where cross-border processing or external model training is in scope.
Each major operator carries its own engineering, safety, and digital standards on top of national rules. Tenders specify which sets apply — scope during discovery so the integration plan matches the operator.

Frequently asked questions
Oil, Gas & Energy questions our team hears most often.
Three layers usually apply simultaneously. The Ministry of Energy sets sector policy. Saudi Aramco's Procurement, Supply Chain Management (PSCM) standards and Vendor ID register govern who can supply digital solutions into Aramco operations — non-Aramco operators (SABIC, ENOWA, ACWA Power) carry their own equivalents. SDAIA frames AI and data policy, and the NCA Essential Cybersecurity Controls apply to anything connecting to operational technology.
