FUTURE DIGITAL TWIN
Keeping an eagle eye on oil & gas assets Keeping track of assets and equipment spread over multiple worksites and often remote locations is a constant challenge. For an oil and gas (O&G) company, centralising information and data on fixed and mobile assets is invaluable. Two complementary technologies, namely Geographical Positioning Software (GPS) and Geographical Information Systems (GIS) software, are the industry’s tools of choice. GPS is designed to identify, manage, and allocate mobile assets throughout the value and logistic chain. Conversely, GIS is designed for land assets and can store, retrieve, manage, display, and analyse geographic and spatial data. 24
