Enhancing Efficiency and Sustainability in Offshore Oil and Gas Operations through Digital Twin and AI Technology: A Practitioner's View

Abstract This paper explores the integration of digital twin technology and artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance efficiency and sustainability in offshore oil and gas operations. It demonstrates the benefits of combining digital twins with AI and first-principle modeling through two detailed use cases: an integrated power generation and electrical distribution system twin designed for emission reduction, and an upstream process twin for equipment constraint monitoring and process debottlenecking. Additionally, this study proposes a novel AI-based optimization strategy aimed at achieving integrated production optimization across topside and reservoir operations.
