Digital Twin Road Network as a Part of ITS Rig Move Model: Case Study Oil Industry of Oman

Abstract

This paper presents a digital twin approach to address a component of the Rig Scheduling Problem (RSP) - rig transport or rig move. The main idea is to apply Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) technology to solve problems during rig transportation, avoid potential risks, and minimize costs. The ITS concept for the rig move process is based on a Model of Intelligent Transport System from a Russian research group, modified to be applied in the current Petrol Development Oman system. The conclusions will be presented to the mainboard of the PDO unit responsible for Traffic and Transportation as a way to improve rig transportation and further move the entire process into digital twin technology.
