Subrata Bhowmik, a Principal Engineer specializing in Innovation at McDermott International, Ltd. With a rich history of over 18 years in Asset Management, Digital Twin, Wind Turbine Structural Health Monitoring, and Control System Design, he’s a true expert in his field. Dr. Bhowmik is not just well-versed in these topics; he’s also a Fellow of IMarEST & Energy Institute (UK) and has published over 50 papers in journals and conferences. His recent participation in the Oil & Gas Digital Twin Conference 2023 brought forth invaluable insights into the world of digital twins for carbon management in offshore oil & gas platforms. In this blog, we’ll delve deeper into his presentation and understand the pivotal role of digital twins in reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Dr. Subrata Bhowmik’s presentation shed light on the remarkable potential of digital twins in addressing one of the most pressing global challenges: reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Specifically, he emphasized how digital twins can make a significant impact on curbing GHG (COx and NOx) gas emissions from offshore oil and gas platforms. The innovative concept of a “net zero digital twin framework” was unveiled, offering a strategic roadmap for implementation and cost assessment. By harnessing the power of digital twins, industries can actively contribute to environmental sustainability by minimizing their carbon footprint. Dr. Bhowmik’s insights serve as a beacon of hope, showing that cutting-edge technology can pave the way for a greener, more sustainable future in the oil and gas sector.
