The platform uses Red Hat OpenShift's containerized and microservices architecture and built-in observability tools to develop, deploy, and integrate large language models, and Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform to manage and configure virtual machines, reducing deployment times from weeks to hours. Drill and plant engineers complete tasks 10 times faster using AI to automate repetitive processes like data analysis, with each engineer and data scientist saving around 2 hours daily. The platform allows onboarding gen AI models in under an hour.","company":"Aramco","industry":"Energy","country":"Saudi Arabia","aiCapabilities":["Generative AI","Large Language Models"],"technology":["Red Hat OpenShift","Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform"],"deployment":"Unknown","problemStatement":"Aramco aims to increase upstream efficiency with AI-powered solutions through its Upstream Digital Center. The company needed a platform to centralize resources, streamline operations, and reduce costs while securely developing, deploying, and integrating large language models at scale.","solutionApproach":"Aramco built its GenAI Foundation on Red Hat OpenShift, benefiting from its containerized and microservices architecture and the flexibility and security controls needed to develop, deploy, and integrate large language models. The GenAI Foundation uses Red Hat OpenShift's built-in observability tools to monitor and manage the environment, optimizing network access, storage, and processing power, and to analyze incoming request figures and forecast and scale services based on demand. Aramco also uses Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform to manage and configure virtual machines, reducing deployment times from weeks to hours.","businessValue":"Aramco's drill and plant engineers complete tasks 10 times faster using AI to automate repetitive processes like data analysis, and each engineer and data scientist saves around 2 hours daily with the gen AI tools. The platform allows the team to onboard gen AI models in under an hour, enhancing resource use, scalability, and availability.","evidence":{"band":"high"},"sourceUrl":"https://www.redhat.com/en/success-stories/aramco","dates":{"publishedAt":"2026-08-21T09:05:53.680Z","publishedAtSource":"pipeline","updatedAt":"2026-08-21T09:05:53.680Z"},"license":"Open for reading and citing with a link to https://findausecase.com/use-cases/aramco-s-genai-foundation-helps-streamline-upstream-operations.
