The industry has seen an increase in the need for digitally connected completions operations, pushing for companies to sensor, aggregate, and stream data to remote operation centers (ROC). While using sensors to monitor critical parameters is vital to operations, the most important element generally is excluded from the ROC—contextual perspective only provided by personnel. This paper proposes an approach that creates a digital twin by aggregating the three elements into one digital context. The method outlined leverages a tridirectional sync from the operational controls, remote platform, and phone application that allows users to include operational states and human-sensored elements used to align prejob modeling and actual operations once the job is started.
Operational Twin
The leverage of an ROC with subject-matter expert (SME) oversight can only be realized when all systems are organized on a single timestamp. The method outlined in the complete paper creates an operational twin by using a tridirectional sync from the operational controls, a remote platform, and a phone application.
