In this closing panel of the day, experts from FutureOn, bp, VEERUM, and Motiva Enterprises joined forces to reflect on the evolving role of digital twins and the most common pitfalls that can hinder their success. Moderated by Judy Moses, Reservoir Management Director, Americas at Chevron, the panel offered a candid and experience-rich discussion on navigating complexity, managing legacy infrastructure, and maximising long-term value.
Topics included deploying digital twins in brownfield environments, where legacy, document-centric systems remain a challenge; estimating the economic value of digital twin investments; and structuring data for faster returns. The panel also explored the value of co-innovation and partnership-led implementation strategies, as well as whether digital twins should function as fully integrated orchestration platforms or modular systems.
A lively comparison of different types of twins—dynamic, process, asset, and component—provided actionable insight into how to align the right twin with the right operational goals. Throughout, the panel emphasised pragmatism, collaboration, and flexibility as key enablers of digital twin success.
