U.S. oilfield services company Halliburton Co. has announced that it will partner with the Libra Consortium, led by Petrobras, to develop a digital twin for the Mero pre-salt field system in Brazil.
A digital twin spans the lifecycle of the actual system, or object it represents, uses simulation, machine learning and reasoning to help decision making and is updated using real-time data.
Other than creating a single, secure repository for all asset documentation, digital twins can have a positive impact on the operational efficiency, cost, reliability and agility of oil and gas companies.
