Neptune ‘digital twin’ platforms to cut costs

Neptune Energy is developing “digital twins” of two platforms in the Dutch North Sea to accelerate work schedules, reduce costs and environmental impacts by enabling engineers to work onshore.

Efficiency: there are five digital twins of Neptune-operated platforms in the UK, Norway and the Dutch sector (Neptune Energy – LA10)

The oil and gas company said it in a statement that the digital twins would also support planning of Neptune’s major carbon capture and storage project in the L10 area.

3D technology specialist, Eserv, is creating digitised versions of the L10-A complex’s drilling and production platforms where the large-scale offshore CCS project is planned. 

The news follows the development of five digital twins of Neptune-operated platforms in the UK, Norway and elsewhere in the Dutch sector.

These will enable an estimated 4,100 hours of work from onshore, improving efficiency and reducing carbon emissions associated with offshore travel, added Neptune.
