Q&A with Maisa Monteiro Da Cunha
Maisa Monteiro Da Cunha is Digital & Data Engine Lead at TotalEnergies in the UK, Strategy & Business. She is based in Aberdeen, where she develops digital products for drilling and wells teams and other disciplines, informed by her broad experience within TotalEnergies. Originally from Buenos Aires, Maisa has an MEng in Industrial Engineering. She worked for local oil and gas sector companies in Argentina, before joining TotalEnergies’ Argentinian operation in 2008 during a key phase of the country’s shale gas development. She held various engineering positions covering well servicing, completions and stimulation before transferring to France, where she was responsible for preparing specific stimulation and completion studies for TotalEnergies affiliates around the world. Since then, she has held positions related to safety improvement, operational and cost optimization of drilling, completion and well servicing activities, and also worked on the successful integration of Maersk Oil’s technical standards and procedures after its acquisition by TotalEnergies in 2017, before moving to her current position.

Mark Enzer: Why We Need To Connect Digital Twins Together
Digital twins are becoming commonplace in many industries, including the oil and gas sector. Their ability to simulate real world conditions on a computer system, work with AI-driven models to enable better decision-making, and then drive an intervention back in the real world is already technology of proven worth for many organisations. The next step is to connect digital twins together within and between organisations in order to produce better-informed decisions and drive more useful interventions. We asked Mark Enzer about the benefits of joining up digital twins, and what technical and organisational challenges needed to be overcome for it to happen.
