Abstract/Summary
In the context of FPSO, where the extraction, processing, and storage of hydrocarbons occur offshore and often in harsh environments, the benefits of virtual commissioning are particularly relevant.

The integration of DCS with a process simulator model provides a powerful tool for ensuring safe and efficient FPSO operation while minimizing risks, downtime, and operational errors.

It ultimately contributes to successful production, personnel safety, and environmental protection in this complex industrial setting.
