Digital twins are receiving considerable attention as a cutting-edge technology that will transform the oil and gas industry. Powered by a digital thread that connects data across the product lifecycle, a digital twin virtually mirrors or emulates processes, assets, and projects in real-time to generate highly valuable insights. Promises of value creation, delivering optimized production, increased reliability, improved safety, and enhanced foresight, are now driving oil and gas operators to realize their potential. Despite these claimed and expected benefits, realized value is often hard to quantify and explicitly link to digital twin technology. And in addition, consistency in definition and availability of a reference architecture is lacking, resulting in a gap of a standard approach in implementing this technology. This thesis attempts to investigate and summarize the digital twin’s enabling technologies (e.g., model-based systems engineering, network infrastructure, the Internet of Things (IoT), and automation) and provide insight into industry digital twin applications in use today. Modeling a simple production facility demonstrates that digital twins have the potential to improve the prediction and mitigation of facility failures leading to overall higher availability and improved financial outlooks for projects. The simulation results of a highly robust and integrated digital twin used on an offshore, deepwater facility showed an improved NPV of $211 million over 27 years. With enhanced upstream capabilities enabled by a digital twin, considerations to reducing daily physical inspection requirements are made more feasible. However, as costs for offshore personnel decrease, the cost of software development and maintenance will increase sharply. Oil and gas assets are more enabled to be monitored and controlled remotely through this increased rigor and oversight provided by the digital twin platform. From the perspective of a three-component digital twin framework consisting of modeling and analytics, enablement technology, and data, a digital twin can provide value from a virtual proxy to a fully autonomous system.

DIGITAL TWIN TECHNOLOGY The book lucidly explains the fundamentals of digital twin technology along with its applications and various industrial real-world examples. Digital twin basically means a replicated model of any object or product in digital form. A digital twin has many advantages as it remains connected with the original object or product it is replicating and receives real-time data. Therefore, the obstacles and issues that could be encountered in a product or object can be known before their actual happening which helps to prevent errors and major losses which otherwise might have been incurred. The various capabilities of digital twin technology make it a powerful tool that can be used to effectively boost various sectors of the healthcare, automotive, and construction industries, among others. Although this technology has been making its way into various sectors, it has not yet received the kind of exposure necessary to increase awareness of its potential in these industries. Therefore, it is critical that a better understanding of digital twin technology is acquired to facilitate growth and to have it implemented in the various sectors so that transformation can be ushered in. Therefore, this book was designed to be a useful resource for those who want to become well acquainted with digital twin technology. Audience Engineers, researchers, and advanced students in information technology, computer science, and electronics, as well as IT specialists and professionals in various industries such as healthcare, automotive, and transportation.

This book covers the notion of the digital twin, which has the potential to alter the way systems are governed and manufactured. It also addresses the metaverse as an emerging technology with its roots in literature, cross-platform avatars, and artificial intelligence-oriented cybersecurity issues. The untapped potential of the metaverse and digital twins as enabling technologies for the next-generation industries is emphasized in various chapters. Digital twin technology enables manufacturers to comprehend their products throughout product design better, integrate simulation, tracking, and optimization in real-time, and appropriately analyze operations. Especially for complicated products or systems, testing on a digital twin is more efficient (more accessible, quicker, less error-prone, and less expensive). The product is examined in its virtual version before it is displayed in the actual world. Additionally, the digital twin minimizes operational expenses and increases the longevity of equipment and assets. By prolonging the life of the thing, they represent and enhance its working efficiency; it may minimize operating costs and prospective capital spending. The digital twin idea is becoming a reality as it has begun to be used in several industries, including energy, manufacturing, construction, transportation, aerospace, smart cities, healthcare, cyber security, finance, and agriculture. Academic and industrial experts highlighted the most compelling use cases of digital twins and metaverses and the challenges inherent in their implementation.
