First centralized data platform for efficient and collaborative development of offshore energy projects

Project description

Setting sail for Europe’s ocean energy industry

Today, European companies are global leaders in ocean energy, accounting for more than a third of tidal energy patents and nearly half of wave energy patents. Over the past 10 years, the European Commission has invested over EUR 300 million in ocean energy research, development and innovation (RD&I), through a multitude of funding programmes. The EU-funded FieldTwin project is a digital working environment for planning, installing and operating energy fields. Unlike anything else on the market, FieldTwin is commercialised as a PaaS model. It is a collaborative, open digital tool that can interact with any data source at any time for any user in the decision-making ecosystem.

Objective

Offshore project design, planning and maintenance are complex tasks involving a multitude of companies and domain experts. The industry is lacking the ability to share information across the ecosystem of companies. This status quo substantially delays project timelines and prevent for risks to be uncovered. In an industry characterized by high capital cost, streamlined execution and avoided risk enable millions in savings.

FieldTwin is a digital working environment for planning, installing, operating and abandoning energy fields. Assets are integrated with external data sources and smart analytic tools creating smart digital fields. Collaboration occurs in a visual relevant context (as it will in real-world), in real-time and based on real data. The benefits are a lower risk of communications and planning errors; 30% to 70% reduced cost in the design process for the whole value chain by quickly finding the best solution and accelerated timelines across the life of a project, 20-80% lead time reduction in planning and design phases and total project lead time reduction or 10-30%.

With FieldTwin we are first to market. FieldTwin is commercialised as a PaaS model. We already have over 100 beta user-licenses, counting with big corporations amongst our clients. We estimate selling 11k licensees by 2022, generating €26.4M. The feasibility study will serve as the basis to finalize our product development strategy and commercial and financial plan.
FutureON AS emerges from Xvision AS - with more than 15 years’ experience as provider of visual engineering solutions for clients worldwide in the offshore domain. Our core team and co-founders are all experienced entrepreneurs and senior professionals within visual design, software development and offshore domain experts. Our mission is to provide the Energy Industry a collaborative open digital tool that interacts with any data source at any time for any user in the decision-making ecosystem.

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Funding Scheme

Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
