Advancing Offshore Operations with Digital Twin Technology: A Case Study of FLNG Operations in Offshore Environments

This paper delineates a meticulous case study centered on the deployment of digital twin technology in Unity3D to augment operations in offshore environments, with a particular emphasis on Floating Liquefied Natural Gas operations. It encompasses the integration of real-time meteorological data, the application of a Proportional-Integral-Derivative controller for refined vessel maneuvering, and the incorporation of an advanced voice navigation interface. The primary objective of this research is to substantially elevate the controllability, predictability, and operational efficacy within the realm of offshore asset management. The findings of this study significantly contribute to the enhancement of strategic decision-making frameworks and propel forward-looking innovations in the offshore sector, culminating in heightened operational efficiency and fortified risk management strategies.
