Digital Twin Projects in Shaybah: Local Assets and Inspection Codes
Atlantis NDT Digital Twin gives integrity teams in Shaybah, Saudi Arabia one 3D model of the asset with every UT, PAUT, TOFD, RT, MT, PT and ET reading mapped to the exact location it was taken. Corrosion rates and remaining-life trends update automatically as new readings land, from measured thickness instead of a spreadsheet snapshot.
This page covers digital twin work for sites in Shaybah. How the platform puts inspection data and CMLs on one 3D model is explained on the asset integrity digital twin page, and the reports it issues on digital twin inspection reporting.
The Shaybah asset base this is built for
Shaybah is Saudi Aramco's remote oil field deep in the Rub' al Khali (Empty Quarter), one of the most logistically demanding production environments in the world, producing high-quality Arabian Extra Light crude through gas-oil separation plants and an integrated NGL recovery and gas processing complex, with all production and personnel access requiring dedicated pipeline, road, or air logistics across hundreds of kilometers of open desert. The field's extreme remoteness, sand encroachment, and thermal cycling create unique asset integrity challenges for pressure vessels, gas processing trains, and export pipelines, while flying in inspection crews and physically transporting historical inspection records is costly and slow. This logistics profile makes Shaybah one of the clearest cases in Aramco's portfolio for 3D digital twins paired with remote NDT data review, letting engineers in Dhahran assess corrosion trends and plan turnaround inspection scope without deploying teams to one of the most isolated oil fields on earth.

How the twin is built
Capture the geometry (LiDAR, photogrammetry, drone survey, or import your existing BIM/CAD and isometrics), ingest inspection data over REST API or file drop from any instrument, overlay the governing damage mechanisms per API RP 571, then publish colour-coded remaining-life and condition views to integrity, maintenance and planning. Records are retained audit-ready under ISO 9001, ISO 17020 and ISO 17025.
Integrations
Atlantis ERP has an open REST API, so it connects to SAP, Maximo, NetSuite or any other system that accepts API connections; each integration is scoped with you during implementation. Full data export — you keep your data in a format you can leave with.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does Atlantis Digital Twin work in Shaybah?
We start with a 3D scan of your asset (drone, laser, photogrammetry), build a CAD-fidelity model, and then overlay every NDT inspection event (UT thickness readings, TOFD/PAUT scans, MT/PT indications, RT defect maps). Inspection data updates the model in real-time and colour-codes condition zones for engineering review. Operators in Shaybah use this to drive faster turnaround scoping, cleaner inspection evidence, and audit-grade regulatory reporting.
What does Digital Twin NDT cost in Shaybah?
Atlantis Digital Twin is an affordable, accessible, fully customizable enterprise SaaS platform sized for up to 500 assets, with ASNT Level III consulting and unlimited NDT data ingest included. Enterprise tiers are available for multi-site fleets, and on-prem deployment is offered at the same price point. Request a Shaybah-specific quote and we will model your asset count and data-volume requirements.
How long does deployment take in Shaybah?
A typical first-asset deployment runs 8-12 weeks: 2 weeks model build, 2 weeks data integration, 2-4 weeks workflow configuration, 2 weeks user training. Multi-asset rollouts are sequenced asset-by-asset after the first deployment is live, with each subsequent asset typically taking 4-6 weeks once the platform is configured for your Shaybah site.
Which NDT standards does the platform support in Shaybah?
API 510 (pressure vessels), API 570 (piping), API 653 (storage tanks), API 579 FFS, API 581 RBI, ASME Section V articles 2/4/6/7, ISO 9712 personnel qualification, ASNT SNT-TC-1A, and local code requirements depending on Shaybah's regulatory environment. Custom reporting templates can be configured for any additional national or operator-specific code.
Can Atlantis Digital Twin integrate with our existing CMMS in Shaybah?
Yes. We support REST API hooks for IBM Maximo, SAP PM, IFS, Oracle EAM, and most major CMMS platforms. Work-order creation, asset master sync, anomaly hand-off into corrective work, and inspection-evidence packaging for management-of-change submittals can all be automated, allowing your Shaybah integrity team to focus on engineering judgement rather than data entry.
