DORIS Group, Schneider Electric & AVEVA join hands to develop a strategic partnership to delivery Digital Twin technology for the upstream oil and gas markets. These new solutions will support the goals of oil & gas organizations to improve asset performance, increase sustainability and maximize return on capital on projects.

DORIS is an engineering and project management company, while Schneider offers digital transformation of energy management & automation and AVEVA is an engineering & industrial software. Together the three company will combine their offerings to bring engineering capabilities, an asset lifecycle software solution and digital specialization in order to create a fully formed digital twin to serve as a backbone for improving performance for the upstream sector. The new solution will bring new assets to stream faster through the use of cloud-enabled software that improves collaboration and increases engineering efficiencies. It will also deliver enhanced safety leading to better business outcomes, while improve traceability through a single point of accountability. The solution will further enable remote operations and production assurance through a fully functional Living Digital Twin that mirrors all aspects of the operating asset.

Though digital has been here since long, but oil & gas operators have been struggling to go digital due to lack of a structured offering and orchestration. This is due to the lack of a single vendor delivering what is required to

achieve this. Hence the trio together will offer a structured digital and collaborative solution across the lifecycle of projects that will help oil & gas owner operators address many of their challenges including going digital.

Christophe Debouvry, CEO of DORIS Group, states, “DORIS Group is excited to be strategically partnering with Schneider Electric and AVEVA in this unique venture which will allow us to accelerate the building out of our digital transformation strategy. Combining our complementary expertise will go a long way to providing a powerful enabler to offer our customers embarking on their digital transformational journeys with optimized solutions throughout their assets lifecycle."

Craig Hayman, CEO, AVEVA, also commentes, “Leaders driving the next wave of transformation are moving quickly and that’s why this partnership with Schneider Electric and DORIS Group is so opportune. Our common aim is to support organizations on their digital journey especially in the current environment, helping them accelerate the use of digital technology, realize the value of a digital twin and also work towards a more sustainable future. It’s never been easier to begin a digital transformation program, as access to cloud computing, great connectivity, a merged edge and enterprise combined with analytics and machine learning, means that the ability to digitally drive productivity improvements into the industrial world is now unprecedented.”

Christopher Dartnell, President Oil & Gas and Petrochemicals at Schneider Electric, asserts, “This partnership is in line with Schneider Electric’s objectives around Digitization and Energy Transition and we will bring our expertise in both energy and process efficiency to the industry. Our goal is to support customers looking to adopt a digital twin model, by offering our experience to facilitate the overall digital transformation for our clients enable them to improve lifecycle performance and safe operations while also making their operations more sustainable.”
