Asset management of oil and gas pipeline system Based on Digital Twin

Abstract

Abstract With the rapid development of IT technologies, digital transformation is reshaping the world in multiple scales. Digital Twin, as an important enabling technology and driving force of digital transformation, has been widely used in various fields, which has played a good exemplary role in the application and development of digital twin technology in the pipeline industry. This paper discusses the background, definition and framework of the digital twin in oil and gas pipeline system, analyzes the existing problems in pipeline asset management and equipment asset management, and analyzes the application prospect of digital twin in oil and gas pipeline asset management. In the end, it is pointed out that the construction of digital twin cannot be accomplished overnight. There is still a long way to go before it can be applied and popularized in the industry. Finally, it can help the safe, efficient and environmental protection operation of oil and gas pipeline network.
