Reducing such exposure through digital technologies benefits the whole workforce in their decisions and maneuvers, like simulations, training, and other critical activities that can be executed remotely and prior to the actual activity.\u0000 This paper presents a case study to demonstrate how augmented and virtual reality can be used to create a high fidelity virtual environment emulating the real industrial facility. This approach enriches the Digital Twin with the association of data and the virtual environment. It leverages on display and interaction capabilities of hardware devices, and intelligence and data querying capabilities of industrial software, empowering the workers with enhanced training capabilities and access to information increasing safety and efficiency.\u0000 A real application of this technology is presented in this paper through the case study of the PredictMain4.0 project of Repsol Sinopec Brazil (RSB), which aimed at the integration of digital technologies, including augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR). The PredictMain4.0 project was executed using data and data models of PETROBRAS’ P-50, a FPSO (Floating Production Storage and Offloading) operating in Brazil, and illustrates how different AR/VR applications can be developed and used in combination with engineering, operation, and maintenance databases. This includes 3D models, digitalized critical procedures, and the ability to integrate field teams into a single virtual environment, allowing real interaction in a digital setting that is linked to the real world. Considering the digitalized procedures, this paper aims to establish how virtual simulation and training can make teams more confident and prepared to execute the same physical asset procedures.\u0000 After consulting with stakeholders from many different teams, the PredictMain4.0 project team selected three critical operating modules in the FPSO (Power Generation, Water Injection, and Gas Compression). For each one, considered which situations were relevant, should they occur. These situations led to developing a training and simulation framework, allowing instructors to create different scenarios and use advanced features such as digital measurement, real-time data collection, and collaborative sessions.\u0000 The case study indicates that the development of such applications can save more than $1 million per year in maintenance costs considering the decrease in downtime and avoiding risks of accident.","PeriodicalId":10936,"journal":{"name":"Day 2 Tue, August 17, 2021","volume":"42 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74953815","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Estimates from existing reanalysis datasets used by operators in GOM show less than ideal correlation with in situ measurements and have a limited resolution that disallows for the capture of ocean features of interest. In this paper, we introduce a new high-resolution long-term reanalysis dataset, Multi-resolution Advanced Current Reanalysis for the Ocean – Gulf of Mexico (MACRO-GOM), based on a state-of the-science hydrodynamic model configured specifically for ocean current forecasting and hindcasting services for the offshore industry that assimilates extensive non-conventional observational data. The underlying hydrodynamic model used is the Woods Hole Group – Tendral Ocean Prediction System (WHG-TOPS). MACRO-GOM is being developed at the native resolution of the TOPS-GOM domain, i.e. 1/32° (~3 km) hourly grid for the 1994-2019 time period (25 years). A 3-level downscaling methodology is used wherein observation based estimates are first dynamically interpolated using a 1/4° model before being downscaled to the 1/16° Inter-American Seas (IAS) domain, which in turn is used to generate time-consistent boundary conditions for the 1/32° reanalysis. A multiscale data assimilation technique is used to constrain the model at synoptic and longer time scales. For this paper, a shorter, 5-year reanalysis run was conducted for the 2015-2019 time period for verification against assimilated and unassimilated observations, WHG's proprietary frontal analyses, and other reanalyses. Both the frontal analyses and Notice to Lesses (NTL) rig mounted ADCP data was withheld from assimilation for comparison. Offshore operations in the GOM can benefit from an improved reanalysis dataset capable of assimilating existing non-conventional observational datasets. Existing hindcast and reanalysis model datasets are limited in their ability to comprehensively and reliably quantify the 3D circulation and kinematic properties of the main features partly because of limited assimilation of observational data. MACRO-GOM incorporates all the advantages of available HYCOM-based reanalyses and further enhances the resolution, accuracy, and reliability by the assimilation of over three decades of WHG's proprietary datasets and frontal analyses for continuous model correction and ground-truthing. The final 25-year high resolution dataset will provide highly reliable design and operational criteria for new and existing infrastructure in GOM.","PeriodicalId":10936,"journal":{"name":"Day 2 Tue, August 17, 2021","volume":"35 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83545705","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this work, a next generation electrical tomography sensor is introduced and a novel mathematical approach for the estimation of the deposit thickness is described. It is essential for the pipeline operators to keep the lines open for smooth flow and high flow efficiency. Deposit thickness, deposit type and location of deposit is required for optimal pipeline cleaning. The usage of chemicals as well as number of cleaning pig runs can be optimized based on the information that intelligent pig is giving.\u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 In electrical tomography, electrodes are attached on the surface of the sensor and excitations are applied to some electrodes and responses are measured from other electrodes. The electrical properties of the medium are estimated based on these measurements. In pigging applications, the distribution of electrical properties between the PIG surface and metal pipe is estimated. The thickness and type of deposit (wax/scale) can be identified from the estimated electrical properties. In the proposed approach the estimation of the parameters is done by using a novel deep neural network based approach. In practice, number of measurements that are analyzed after each PIG run can be hundreds of thousands. The neural network based approach was chosen in order to achieve reasonable computational efficiency (computation time) in real applications with large amounts of data.\u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 The introduced sensor is for 12-inch lines and designed to be used when the oil line is filled with water.

The major challenges in pipe line runs include the movement of the sensor during measurements, electrical noise and changing excitations. In the neural network model, the position of the PIG is estimated simultaneously with the electrical properties and the effect of all these aforementioned uncertainties are also modelled. Based on the results conclusions can be drawn on the efficiency and performance using neural networks and the high suitability of electrical tomography for deposit mapping.\u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 In this study, it is shown that intelligent pig based on the electrical tomography can be used reliable for deposit inspection.

If Lidars are not available, SAR surface winds at 10m are improved with machine learning. They are then extrapolated at 40m with a classical power law, and then at higher altitudes with an atmospheric numerical model. If profiling Lidars are available, parameters from the numerical model are added as input to the machine learning algorithm and the training is performed directly at turbine hub height with the Lidar data. Once the wind at turbine hub height is obtained, the wind power is then calculated using a Weibull distribution. The resulting maps are compared with the outputs of the numerical model. The maps based on SAR data provide a much higher level of detail and a better estimation of the coastal gradient, which is important to optimize wind farm siting and estimate the potential energy production.
