Abstract This paper introduces a scalable, Artificial Intelligence (AI) powered interface developed using Microsoft Power BI to manage Simultaneous Operations (SimOps) in high-density activity oil and gas environments. The tool enables real-time visualization of over 20,000 unique activity combinations across geographically distributed facilities. It provides actionable insights through a branched decision tree and centralized dashboard architecture that allows users to view, assess, and interact with key actionable operational data. Developed as part of the Hail and Ghasha (H&G) mega project, this solution is a leap forward in digital SimOps coordination with reference to Facilities Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) works, Drilling works (rig and well testing) in limited space such as the offshore drilling centers. It enhances operational decision-making by identifying permitted and non-permitted operations and aligns with Upstream 2.0 – ADNOC's digital transformation vision for upstream oil and gas operations. The tool is built on a smart, structured framework incorporating activities, sub-activities, restriction types, and Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) requirements. These are dynamically processed by AI-enhanced Data Analysis Expressions (DAX) logic within Power BI, facilitating intuitive category-based filtering, restriction awareness, and proactive safety measures. The interface functions smoothly on intrinsically safe smart devices, equipment designed for use in hazardous areas, preventing ignition of flammable gases or vapors, delivering SimOps insights during walkdowns, permit processes, safety briefings, and inspections. By replacing static tools and spreadsheets, it minimizes misallocation risks, enhances operational clarity, and adapts swiftly to changing site needs. Integrated with Microsoft Teams and the company's SharePoint, it ensures secure, native data flow and robust governance. Its dashboard supports exporting permit-to-work (PTW), which streamline both documentation and audit readiness, setting a new standard for operational efficiency and transparent, real-time coordination across diverse teams. The tool currently enables visibility into more than 20,000 combined activity scenarios across the five operational Hail & Ghasha drilling center islands, representing the full spectrum of simultaneous operations underway. With the Hail and Ghasha construction progresses toward full-scale development, the number of combined activities is expected to increase tenfold. This reinforces the need for scalable, AI-driven platforms that can dynamically adapt to evolving scopes while preserving safety and execution efficiency.
