Use case

Speed up contractor engagements with FieldTwin Collaborate

Bring your EPC partners into your digital environment to cut planning time and improve project outcomes

Development coordination challenges

Independent operators working with EPC contractors face significant coordination hurdles throughout field development projects. With complex multidisciplinary work spanning different phases, companies often struggle to maintain alignment, share accurate information, and collaborate effectively. Traditional approaches lead to communication gaps, inconsistent data, and inefficient workflows that extend timelines and increase project risks.

Focused on seamless partnership

FieldTwin Collaborate provides a digital workspace that enables operators and their EPC contractors to work within the same environment using the same data. With controlled access, intuitive visualization, and real-time information sharing, FieldTwin Collaborate ensures all parties stay aligned throughout the project while maintaining appropriate security and data ownership.

How it works

Exploring operator-contractor teamwork

An independent oil and gas company is developing a field in the North Sea with their preferred EPC contractor.

FieldTwin Collaborate brings together operators and EPC contractors in a shared digital environment that makes communication and collaboration easy. Here's how FieldTwin Collaborate enhances their working relationship:

Creating the digital foundation

The operator establishes a comprehensive digital twin of their North Sea development, incorporating all available field data, subsea and topside assets, and relevant metadata. This becomes the central environment where both operator and contractor will collaborate, providing immediate context and clarity that traditional documentation cannot match.
Inviting contractors to the platform

With a few clicks, the operator invites their EPC contractor to collaborate, configuring specific access permissions that reflect their role and responsibilities. The contractor gains immediate access to precisely the information they need, eliminating the traditional delays associated with data transfers and information requests.
Controlled information exchange

Throughout the project, the operator maintains complete control over what information is shared with the contractor. As different phases require different levels of access, permissions can be adjusted easily without disrupting workflow. All data remains securely owned by the operator while being accessible to trusted partners as needed.
Shared visualization and understanding

Both teams now work from the same visual representation of the field, ensuring everyone understands the project in the same way. This shared view eliminates the misinterpretations and misunderstandings that frequently occur when different organizations use different tools and formats to visualize the same project.
Collaborative problem-solving

When challenges arise, engineers from both companies can examine the issue together in the shared environment, discussing potential solutions with full context and visual support. This collaborative approach leads to faster, more effective problem-solving than traditional methods involving emails, conference calls, and separate visualization tools.
