A Large Oil & Gas Producer in Middle East selects Emerson’s Pipeline Software Suite for managing their Hydrocarbon Value Chain Emerson has been selected for the fourth consecutive time by a large Oil & Gas producer in Middle East to implement real-time digital twin model for their Liquid and Gas pipeline networks. Building upon the foundation laid in 2019, which encompassed 5500 kilometers of gas network modeling, and a subsequent selection in 2021 for an additional 3000 kilometers for crude pipelines, this new project represents another significant milestone. The scope involves the creation of a digital twin model for an additional 4000 kilometers of complex cross-country pipeline networks, characterized by multiple supply points and delivery destinations. Enhancing Operational Efficiency and Predictive Capabilities The primary goal of this project is to enhance operational efficiency and predictive capabilities through real-time monitoring of the pipeline operations. By leveraging the digital twin model, the company can run and analyze multiple scenarios without impacting their actual operations, have a continuous “look-ahead” of the future pipeline conditions, handle with efficiency the daily planned and unplanned operational conditions, identify bottlenecks, prepare proper contingency plans, analyze flow variations to mitigate issues such as internal corrosion, and meet agreed delivery parameters with certainty. The software functionalities will encompass a wide range of capabilities, including: - Real-time monitoring - Predictive analytics - Comprehensive scenario planning - Accurate simulation of pipeline properties like Flow, Pressure , Velocity, Temperature, and Density, etc. - Hydraulic profiles & Trends - Over/Under pressure analysis - Inventory calculation - Scraper tracking - Batch / Composition tracking - DRA (Drag Reducing Agent) tracking. - Playback model - Off-line simulations - Tracking of Water Settlement - Alarms & Alerts This Twin Model will also serve as foundation for future digitalization initiatives for the customer.
