Rigid pipeline engineering, alike most of the engineering activities, has to manage a deep
transformation in the way it is performed. This trend is seen throughout the industry. This …

The concept of digital transformation is based on two principles: data driven—exploiting
every bit of data source—and user focused. The objective is not only to consolidate data …

Abstract The Digital Twin, Heerema Simulation Center (HSC), is able to capture the offshore
behavior in a realistic real-time digital environment with high fidelity hydrodynamics and …

The objective of this paper is to introduce and address the programmatic and technical
challenges associated with the implementation of systems engineering (SE) at the …

Considering the low and volatile oil and gas prices, cost reductions are an impending
challenge in the oil and gas industry. For example, offshore pipelines constitute …

The offshore industry has always been at the vanguard of technical innovation and this is not
about to change. The next wave of technology will not come, however, from new ways to …

Energy production is one of the most important segments in the global economy, and at a
larger scale, the oil and gas industry is one of its biggest sectors, Therefore, its offshore …
