Digital Twins: The key to achieving net zero emissions in the oil and gas industry
Last month, we attended the APPEA 2023 conference in Perth, Australia, where we learned about the latest trends and innovations in the oil and gas sector. One of the topics that caught our attention was the importance of digital twins in achieving net zero emissions by 2050.

But what are digital twins and how can they help the oil and gas industry reduce its environmental impact?
Digital twins are virtual replicas of physical assets captured with a combination of laser scanning and photogrammetry. They enable engineers to view their operational assets remotely, no matter where it is located. By using digital twins, oil and gas companies use it for decommissioning, project management and assets replacement in an efficient manner.
But capturing digital twins involves proper technologies and methodologies. At Airscope, we focus on precision and accuracy in capturing oil and gas assets. Our aim is to enable engineers to access a site/platform from all over the globe conveniently.
We use advanced drones and cameras to collect high-resolution images and point clouds of oil and gas facilities. We then process this data using our in-house software, Visualize, to create accurate 3D models that can be integrated with existing engineering systems. and digitising your assets, please contact us today.
