SHARINA Al Muhairi is a distinguished UAE National energy professional with over 15 years of experience across reservoir management, field development, technology deployment, artificial intelligence, and upstream innovation within ADNOC Group. As a Manager, Technology Deployment in the Technology Deployment Department, ADNOC Upstream, she leads the deployment, scale-up, and value realization of cutting-edge technologies and AI solutions across ADNOC’s upstream portfolio, driving operational excellence, production optimization, and sustainable growth.
Throughout her career, Sharina has been at the forefront of transforming complex upstream challenges into opportunities for innovation and value creation. Her expertise spans reservoir management, sour oil operations, high-Hâ‚‚S field development, advanced well technologies, artificial intelligence, digital transformation, and technology governance. She has successfully bridged the gap between technical innovation and business value, ensuring that emerging technologies are translated into measurable operational and financial impact.
Prior to her current role, Sharina served as Team Leader for Undeveloped Field Reservoir Studies (Surveillance) at ADNOC Onshore, where she developed transformative strategies to unlock value from marginal and sour oil reservoirs—assets traditionally considered uneconomical due to low productivity, high Hâ‚‚S and COâ‚‚ concentrations, and infrastructure constraints. She also spearheaded ADNOC’s first ML5 multilateral completion in well SN-40, a landmark achievement in advanced well architecture that maximized reservoir exposure while reducing environmental footprint.
Today, she is leading ADNOC Upstream’s efforts in deploying next-generation technologies, including artificial intelligence, digital twins, predictive analytics, autonomous optimization systems, and reservoir intelligence platforms. Her focus is on accelerating technology adoption at scale, establishing governance frameworks, driving cross-functional collaboration, and ensuring value realization across production, cost efficiency, HSE, and sustainability objectives.
Sharina actively contributes to industry knowledge through technical papers and presentations at ADIPEC, GoTech, SPE, and other international forums. Her work highlights the practical application of advanced technologies and innovative development strategies to improve reservoir performance, optimize operations, and support the energy transition.
Through her leadership, Sharina continues to advance ADNOC’s vision of becoming the world’s most AI-enabled energy company, championing innovation, operational excellence, and sustainable upstream development while creating long-term value for the organization and the industry.
