Project 1
Project type: Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO), UK, North Sea
ICSS emulation: Hybrid – Emerson DeltaV®
Compressor control: Hybrid – CCC®
Model fidelity: High fidelity – Honeywell UniSim®
This was a newly built FPSO in the UK's North Sea. The digital twin was delivered many months before first oil (the very first startup of the plant, where oil production begins for the first time).
The main benefits were as follows:
- All CRTs were trained on three different levels of training, introductory, startup, and abnormal operations, before first oil, achieving the competence levels that the project required them to have.
- All operation supervisors were trained before first oil.
- All operating procedures were validated on the OTS.
- During the building of the digital twin, around 300 engineering items (ICSS and process) were noted and passed on to the project to address as required.
