Member News: Fennex unveils AI-powered Predictive Safety solution following deployment with Noble Corporation

Fennex, an expert in AI-driven technology, has introduced Predictive Safety, an advanced AI solution that is set to transform safety management and reduce incidents, following a successful initial pilot deployment with Noble Corporation.

Developed in collaboration with data scientists from University College London (UCL) and Robert Gordon University (RGU), Predictive Safety applies AI-driven algorithms to analyse key risk indicators, such as observations and reports. This enables organisations to anticipate hazards and take preventative action before incidents occur.

Deployed across Noble Corporation’s global offshore fleet, the technology has demonstrated its ability to translate operational data into actionable intelligence, enhancing decision-making, reinforcing safety culture, and driving efficiency improvements.

Adrian Brown, managing director at Fennex, introduced the latest solution alongside Noble Corporation at the International Association of Drilling Contractors (IADC) Health, Safety & Environment Conference, in Houston on Thursday, 20 February, 2025.

He commented: “There can be no compromise on safety, and through our collaboration with leading academic institutions and industry safety experts, we have developed an AI-powered predictive intelligence engine that fully unlocks the potential of safety observation data.

“By analysing millions of real-world safety observations, we have clearly demonstrated that Predictive Safety is an essential, transformational operational tool.”

Dustin Stringer, global HSE director at Noble Corporation, added: “Systematically analysing leading safety data, observations, reported risks, and near misses, identifies patterns that were previously undetectable and allows us to drive actions that identify high-risk areas and mitigate hazards before they escalate. The ability to anticipate potential safety issues through AI-driven insights is a game-changer for operational safety.

“This isn’t just about technology – it’s about saving lives, reducing incidents, and building a safety culture that is predictive, not reactive. AI isn’t the future – it’s already here. The question is: will we embrace it?”

Fennex’s suite of technology enables organisations to unlock unseen indicators and drive proactive safety interventions. Seamlessly integrating into existing safety management systems, Fennex’s solutions align with industry standards such as OSHA’s Leading Indicators framework and ISO 45001’s proactive risk-based approach.

AREG has played an important role in the growth of Scotland’s renewable energy sector, engaging the supply chain and developing the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre. However, we are only at the very beginning of the transition that AREG was established to both lead and support so there are still opportunities for companies to get into the constantly evolving renewables supply chain. We look forward to continuing our work together as renewables builds on its place as Scotland’s main source of power, and as we seek to deliver real change in the crucial areas of heat and transport.

Aberdeen & Grampian Chamber of Commerce has worked closely with AREG since its formation. The recent progress in the developments of offshore wind projects by Equinor and Vattenfall are as a result of the work of the group over many years. The north-east is known as the oil and gas capital of Europe. At the Chamber, we believe the region must evolve its position to being recognised as the energy capital. Whilst hydrocarbons will continue to be essential in driving our economy for years to come, the generation of renewable resources will play an increasingly important role in providing cost-effective power, innovative development and economic growth.

The enthusiasm and dedication of the early group that would become AREG was fundamental in us choosing to launch All-Energy in Aberdeen. The first tiny show was held in 2001, and AREG’s Chairman at the time, Jeremy Cresswell, played such an active role that I often describe him in terms such as All-Energy’s ‘midwife’. All-Energy is now the UK’s largest renewable and low carbon energy exhibition and conference in terms of number of attendees, space booked, and number of exhibiting companies. As AREG became firmly established, their presence and support for the event grew spectacularly over the years. We thank them most sincerely for their invaluable input.

Vattenfall has forged a strong working relationship with AREG through the development of the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre. AREG has worked tirelessly on behalf of the North East and it can take enormous credit for the growth of sustainable energy in the region and the path it has cleared for the region to capture further investment.

Aberdeen City and Shire is emerging as a key location for renewables by successfully transferring its world-class oil and gas expertise into the sector and AREG has done much to advance this through a broad range of initiatives. It has acted as a catalyst in driving further investment in the local economy by engaging with companies, Government, public bodies and existing projects and we have been pleased to support their efforts. Scottish Enterprise will continue to engage with AREG as we increase Scotland’s use of renewable energy.
