FutureOn launches subsea operations digital twin platform
(WO) — FutureOn has launched FieldTwin Operate, a digital twin platform designed to integrate engineering, inspection and operational data for offshore subsea assets into a single geospatial workspace.
The new platform expands FutureOn’s existing FieldTwin suite beyond early-stage field development and concept design into the operational phase of subsea projects.
According to the company, FieldTwin Operate is intended to help operators and offshore teams manage fragmented project data that is often spread across engineering systems, GIS platforms and inspection databases.
The platform uses an API-first architecture designed to connect with existing enterprise systems and industrial data platforms without replacing them. FutureOn said the system can support both greenfield and brownfield developments, including older assets that may not have complete 3D models available.
For brownfield operations, the platform can integrate existing GIS coordinates, spreadsheet-based equipment records, ROV inspection footage and point cloud scan data into a unified operational view.
FutureOn said the platform creates a “digital thread” linking project design data generated during earlier development phases with day-to-day offshore operations and maintenance activities.
“Operators don’t have a shortage of data, they have a shortage of usable context from across the project lifecycle,” said Stig Wølstad-Knudsen, CEO of FutureOn.
He added that operations teams are often forced to manually assemble information from multiple systems, slowing decision-making and increasing operational risk.
Industry adoption of digital twin technologies continues growing across offshore oil and gas operations as operators seek improved visibility into asset performance, maintenance planning and subsea infrastructure management.
FutureOn said FieldTwin Operate is now available to the company’s global customer base.
