3D Model of an Oil Pumping Station Created in Russia
A “digital twin” contains more than five million 3D elements, each with detailed technical information.
Specialists at a Tomsk-based research institute of Rosneft have developed a three-dimensional model of the country’s largest oil pumping station.
The facility will include a tank farm, pumping units, water treatment facilities, and a fire station. In total, it will comprise 480 buildings and structures, 280,000 construction elements, and 75,000 pieces of process equipment. The total length of pipelines will reach 130 km, while cable lines will extend for 1,500 km. The complex is designed to transport more than 100 million tonnes of oil per year.
Benefits at Every Stage
The station’s digital twin was developed using domestic software. The virtual replica includes more than five million 3D elements, each containing detailed information on dimensions, links to specific construction stages, materials, regulatory documentation, and other parameters.
Information modeling technologies help analyze and optimize data at the design stage, improve the efficiency of facility management, and serve as a kind of digital simulator for training responses to emergency situations.
