DORIS Group, AVEVA and Schneider Electric have have agreed to develop a strategic partnership to deliver Digital Twin technology for the upstream oil and gas markets. These new solutions will support the goals of oil & gas organizations to improve asset performance, increase sustainability and maximize return on capital on projects.

The three companies will combine offerings to bring engineering capabilities, an asset lifecycle software solution and digital specialization to create a fully formed digital twin to serve as a backbone for improving performance for the upstream sector.

The new solution will:

·        Bring new assets on stream faster through the use of cloud-enabled software that improves collaboration and increases engineering efficiencies

·        Deliver enhanced safety leading to better business outcomes

·        Improve traceability through a single point of accountability

·        Enable remote operations and production assurance through a fully functional Living Digital Twin that mirrors all aspects of the operating asset 

Oil and gas proprietor operators have attempted to go digital more so for monitoring and data-driven decisions to track and reduce CO₂ emissions as well as reduce overall pollution. But the absence of an organized contribution and coordination as no single vendor as of now conveys what is required to accomplish this.

Addressing these challenges to combine offerings for a structured digital and collaborative solution across the lifecycle of projects to create a fully formed digital twin to serve as a backbone for improving performance for the upstream sector.

The new solution will use cloud-enabled software to improve collaboration and efficiencies, enhance safety for better outcomes, improve traceability, and enable fully functional living digital twin that mirrors all aspects of the operating asset remotely.

Together, DORIS, AVEVA and Schneider Electric will offer a structured digital and collaborative solution across the lifecycle of projects that will help oil & gas owner operators address many of these challenges.
