Sudan Enters the AI Era: Launch of Innovative Oil and Gold Exploration Platforms Led by Sudanese Experts 

Sudan is taking a bold leap into the world of artificial intelligence (AI) with the launch of two groundbreaking platforms designed to transform oil and mineral exploration — both developed entirely by Sudanese expertise.

The innovation marks a strategic milestone in Sudan’s transition toward a digital economy, led by Dr. Imad Khalafallah, a Sudanese AI expert, engineer at the Center for Information and Smart Government (Khartoum State’s Supreme Council for Strategy and Information), and founder of Orient Gate, a company specializing in artificial intelligence systems.

Unprecedented Technological Achievement

Dr. Khalafallah and his team have built advanced AI platforms capable of handling the enormous complexities of the oil and mineral sectors, achieving remarkable accuracy and efficiency that could save the country millions of dollars.

1. The Oil Exploration Platform (“Petro-AI”)

• Demonstrated a 97% accuracy rate in predicting viable oil fields.
• Cuts exploration costs by millions and drastically reduces the time required compared to traditional drilling methods.

2. The Gold and Mineral Exploration Platform (“Golden-AI”)

• Specializes in detecting gold and other valuable minerals.
• Successfully produced positive exploration results and can operate globally, offering a faster and cheaper alternative to conventional mining surveys.

Smart Integration: From Earth to Space

The two platforms are built on a comprehensive integration model that combines ground-based geological analysis with AI-driven data modeling and satellite mapping.
This integration allows for:

• Detailed geographic and geological mapping.
• Real-time coordination with satellite data for precise and large-scale exploration results.

Artificial Intelligence: The Engine of Sudan’s Future

The platforms are expected to be officially launched in the coming days, offering consultancy and technical services to both the government and private investors.

“This achievement proves that artificial intelligence is no longer a luxury — it’s the driving engine for national reconstruction and sustainable development,” said Dr. Imad Khalafallah, urging the Sudanese government to support digital transformation efforts and harness AI’s full potential for national progress.

This pioneering step positions Sudan on the global innovation map, signaling the rise of Sudanese talent in advanced technology and unlocking new opportunities to harness the nation’s natural resources with unprecedented accuracy and efficiency.
