The ADNOC Research and Innovation Center (ADRIC) is a co-managed facility operated jointly by Khalifa University and ADNOC. ADRIC represents approximately 23,000 m2 of surface developed over five levels with approximately 8,000 m2 of laboratory facilities equipped with state-of-the-art equipment using the latest technology available to support oil and gas research. These laboratory facilities are organized into 36 discrete state-of-the-art topical laboratories, grouped under nine themes, to offer a multi-user environment for faculty, researchers and students. Five of the laboratories were developed with industrial partners with the objective to use up-to-date proven technology and reduce its implementation time.
