3D Model Specification Kick-off meeting
On Thursday 12 March 2020, the kick-off meeting was held for the 3D Model Specification proposed by USPI. Ca 40 people attended the 2 hour web conference, including most major owner operators and EPCs, as well as several software suppliers, service providers and knowledge institutes.
The objective of the 3D Model Specification project is to create a practical specification to be used by Owner Operators in the contracts with EPCs that can optimize the return on the investment in a 3D model. The specification should capture current best practice of Owner Operators to optimize the value of the 3D model throughout the execution of a capital project and subsequently in the operate phase. The specification shall enable the creation of a digital twin, allowing real time data to be projected upon the 3D model. The specification will in the first instance be applicable to proprietary 3D modelling systems, but may evolve into a neutral format over time.

New CFIHOS release marks key digitalisation milestone for the Process Industries
A major milestone was achieved today on The challenging route to digitalisation of the oil, gas, chemicals and nuclear sectors. The absence of a common data standard has driven significant and unnecessary costs by obstructing efficient exchange of information across the extensive and complex supply chains in both projects and assets.
With the agreement reached today to publish a new version of the CFIHOS Standard aligned with the requirements of the full supply chain, these issues are likely to become history.
