Digital Twin (DT) modelling is the foundation for the next generation of real-time production monitoring and optimization systems. It is a solution that boosts
The Digital Twin will serve as a complete virtual representation of the refinery and all of its processes, with 3D models aiding visualization. It will allow each physical element on the site to
Gain digital line of sight and experience the ''moment of knowing'' with PlantSight, the digital twin for the process industry. PlantSight enables organization
On completion in 2024, and in pilot between times, the virtual replica of the Pulau Bukom facility will be the first digital twin the oil and gas company has built. Shell is betting on a 25 percent jump in productivity, reliability and safety from the work. Shell called it a "pilot to transform the ways of work", and said the new virtual
For example, it would be impossible for one person to appraise the activity across the entire line of a refinery that covers multiple city blocks. In addition to increased observation, digital twin technology gives plant operators and process engineers the chance to run experiments on accurate models and predict how various changes will affect
A digital twin is a virtual representation of an object or system designed to reflect a physical object accurately. It spans the object''s lifecycle, is updated from real-time data and uses simulation, machine learning and reasoning to help make decisions. How does a digital twin work? The studied object—for example, a wind turbine—is
Digital technologies are being used to build, operate and maintain refinery assets with greater safety and efficiency. It is estimated that 80 percent of plant losses are preventable and digital solutions can help capture some of these losses. With an increased focus on moving to digital worker enablement solutions, more predictive and real
ENEOS is unifying equipment data at the Kawasaki Refinery and Sendai Refinery, creating 3D models of existing equipment, and building a data platform that will serve as a digital twin platform. In the first instance, ENEOS plans to improve facility management operations by centralizing data using digital twins.

By implementing an executable digital twin, SANY Heavy Energy was able to: Increase their energy efficiency and lower their levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) by 10%. Improve wind turbine efficiency and wind farm design efficiency by 50%. Improve simulation accuracy and design reliability. Improve performance and reduce maintenance
Digital twins have been applied at several refinery and petrochemical plants. For example, Shell recently announced start-up of a four-year project to construct a digital twin of one of its major petrochemical complexes. Shell is targeting a 2024 completion date for its Pulau Bukom petrochemical complex site in Singapore.
Saudi Arabia has signed an agreement to export over 100,000 tons of agricultural and industrial sulfur to India and East Asian countries annually, as bilateral investments between the two countries surged to $24 billion, Arab
A Connected or Composite Digital Twin connects one or more Digital Twins to represent the performance of equipment or the process. This is because various simulation models are available that are purpose-built / best-in- class for specific type of equipment or processes. However, in Upstream Oil & Gas, fluids move from the reservoir through
Digital twins provide a virtual copy of your actual plant. They are the digital representation of the physical assets that keep your production facilities operating. They capture every piece of relevant information about an asset, such as operating instructions, schematics, troubleshooting procedures, maintenance records and more,
By Jari Marci & Thomas Diehl. Digital twin technology and machine learning are buzzwords – but what do they mean for refineries? Digital twins are a key component of the digitalisation journey, incorporating AI and Machine Learning, but many of us fail to fully appreciate the impact they will have in driving decision-making and
