3t Energy Group’s technology company, 3t Transform is developing a four-week tailor-made training programme, which will include a virtual reality digital twin of BP’s facilities, to help deliver an immersive experience of the project.
Using the digital twin, the operational personnel will be able to familiarise themselves with the layout of the facilities and learn operating systems and procedures.
Operational personnel will begin training this summer before joining the facilities during facility construction and commissioning. Up to 100 personnel will go through the training programme over the next 18 to 24 months.
Gavin Taylor, 3t Energy Group global sales and strategy vice president, said: “We are delighted and honoured to secure this revolutionary training project with BP. This is blended learning at its very best and will set the standard for the way training is delivered in the future
“Ultimately our aim is to embed an unrivalled safety culture through technology-led training, which will be game-changing for the oil and gas sector.”
Will Kelly, BP Project operations staffing lead, said: “The 3T Energy Group demonstrated a creative and innovative approach to the project requirements and we are excited about working with them on this and future projects.”
