Digital twin software provider Aize and bp have agreed to extend their partnership to all five of bp’s North Sea oil and gas assets.

Aize helps bp manage engineering and operational data, giving users a common digital view of the physical assets consolidating information from internal and external sources into a user-friendly workspace.

bp in the North Sea Region have embraced the Aize digital twin solution as their “system of insight”, enabling them to create and augment processes supporting maintenance, inspection, modifications and turnarounds.

bp find that the visualisation of the assets that a digital twin solution provides, empowers the bp teams to operate safely and efficiently.

The agreement culminates an extended period of close work between the two companies, with a product-focused mindset as the main driver.

Anders Brun, Aize CCO, said: 
"The collaboration with bp has been invaluable in getting customer and user insight to develop a product that enables experts to do their jobs even better. It’s a privilege to have the opportunity to extend this collaboration with one of the leading operators globally."

Jason Brown, Aize SVP and Manager Strategic Accounts, said: 
"Our work with bp is helping us develop our product every day. We are now onboarding bp end-users continuously, which means increasing our knowledge base by the minute."
