Real-time, Model Based Digital Twin for Energy and Emissions Management
- Process plants need to consider how the available energy vectors, either traditional or renewable sources, can be produced, distributed, mixed, and used by integrating them within or reformulating existing energy systems. The objective is to reduce both costs and GHG emissions. Selecting which energy source should be used at any given time depends on having data related to all the possible options. Data values could fluctuate in time, depending on power price, weather conditions, renewable sources availability, etc.
- For large-scale O&G plants, energy normally accounts for 50% of operating expenses. Consequently, reducing energy use by 10% can often improve margins by 5%. As companies seek to maintain profits and reduce emissions, energy optimization is one of the first places to look.
- In a renewable-dominated scenario, due to the variability of the climate factors impacting power generation, energy storage mechanisms should be available to capture the surplus and be used as a backup when renewable generation is expected to decline. A decision is to be taken, in real-time, about when to fill or deplete the storage and when to activate internal power production. A great challenge for the person or group in charge of optimally managing the energy system is the change in traditional mindset and optimization objectives. This kind of analysis cannot be done manually to the extent and with the necessary speed for a large and complex facility, especially when renewables are involved. Using a real-time, model-based, Digital Twin approach can consider both the sources and uses of energy, making it possible to optimize selections well beyond conventional energy and emissions reduction efforts.

Real-time Hydrocarbon Blending Optimization Using Virtual Analyzers
- Midstream crude oil facilities often lack information on their product quality, which leads to either overly conservative/unoptimized or risky blending programs.
- One way companies can address this is with digital twin type solutions that can accurately predict unknown product quality properties and automatically optimize operations in real-time. Using a probabilistic approach to optimization allows companies to:
- Quantify the measurement uncertainty and its sources
- Optimize safety margins
- Provide a justifiable measurement program
- Once midstream companies implement these digital twin controls, they can increase blending terminal profits by blending closer to the targets while reducing the shut-in risk by carefully accounting for measurement uncertainty.

Hydrocarbon Flow Digital Twin: What is Beyond Calibrating Wells and Network Models ?
- ?Digital Twin? is a term that gained popularity in the past decade and is currently used by different businesses and organizations around the world to describe a virtual representation of a physical asset by relying on real-time data and/or algorithms to be converted into a form of visualization to replicate the shape, process or behavior of the physical system. Using this definition, we can specifically describe the Hydrocarbon Flow Digital Twin (HFDT) as a virtual representation of the oil and gas production asset utilizing field measurements, real-time data and simulation models to provide a comprehensive real-time simulation of the hydrocarbon flow behavior in wells and pipeline networks.
- Several HFDT solutions are available and used today by different O&G companies; with different levels of granularity, visualization tools, complexity and purpose. However, almost all HFDTs share a common basic foundation: hydraulic simulation models with continuous update and calibration.
- In this presentation, you will learn the different HFDT types and levels of implementation, starting from an Excel sheet, until the most sophisticated production surveillance dashboard produced by the major O&G NOCs, operators and services companies. What are the basic foundations, insights, challenges and the latest advancements and where is the trend going in the coming decade.

The Digital Twin. It is not just for breakfast anymore.
- If the lifecycle of a plant could be compressed into a single day, engineering, and constructing that plant would occur over breakfast. And as they say, breakfast is the most important meal of the day. To take this analogy a step further, what is eaten for breakfast can potentially affect how lunch and dinner goes. In other words, a terrible breakfast could lead to a terrible day - lunch and dinner are had through bad choices.
- This goes on, and eventually a transformation is needed. And like all digital transformations, they are painful and expensive. And this “breakfast” doesn’t have to be at The Four Seasons. It can be prepared in the average company’s own kitchen, using tools likely already owned and used
- Getting the digital twin right in the beginning and using it the way it is meant to be used - a key component in today’s Operations Technology - can prevent a costly digital transformation later. It has the capability to push the facility to first-quartile performance much faster than ever expected or envisioned.

Insertion of Artificial Neural Network Algorithms into Digital Twins for Process Monitoring
- Companies rely on various equipment to produce goods and services, but degradation over time can lead to failures. Maintaining equipment in good condition is crucial to ensure production performance and prevent additional costs, downtime, and environmental damage. Maintenance, aiming for availability, reliability, and safety, is essential. However, many maintenance models face challenges by considering only the health of components without information about system reliability. The increase in production data can be an advantage, and predicting failures through a neural network trained with operational data can be valuable support for

Making a Business Case for Developing an E-Governance Solution for Process Safety Management (PSM) Compliance
- This presentation will describe the key issues faced by both the government regulatory bodies and process plant facilities, with the current non-digital (manual) method of PSM implementation, audit, and compliance. Recent modernisation initiatives of safety regulations undertaken by federal regulatory bodies such as OSHA and EPA in the United States are explained in the context of achieving the PSM compliance effectively and efficiently. The presentation will also report the outcome of a study on detailed comparison between OSHA?s 1992 regulatory impact analysis study and 2023 information collection requirement burden hour and cost estimate and will report the estimated the total economic burden of PSM compliance on the existing and future PSM covered facilities in the United States. The presentation will also unveil the idea of an e-governance solution that will potentially eliminate all the efficiency and effectiveness concerns faced by regulatory bodies and process plants in achieving a successful PSM implementation and comprehensive regulatory compliance in the United States of America.
