ABS to lead digital twin, condition monitoring project for Petrobras FPSO

ABS says that it has secured a contract to provide and test a digital twin solution for real-time condition monitoring for a Petrobras FPSO unit.

The ABS solution will provide a digital twin of the asset, and as part of the project, ABS has selected Akselos S.A. to deploy the Akselos Structural Performance Management software that will be evaluated over the course of a year by monitoring one of the four FPSO units in the Cessão Onerosa oil field.

Matthew Tremblay, ABS Vice President, Global Offshore, said: “Condition monitoring is an important process for supporting older assets. The life extension evaluation process takes place to verify that the unit will be able to operate in conformance with existing safety standards beyond its design life. Incorporating real-time operational data from Akselos will provide even more information to improve our analysis for Petrobras.”
