Abstract: This document shows the current research progress and methodology applied to build a domain ontology for describing facilities in offshore petroleum production plants, based on an extensive requirement collection developed in industry and formalized through a set of competency questions. The final goal is to create a uniform and formally defined reference vocabulary to help engineers and information technology people label and relate measures and facilities in the production plant monitoring and simulation. The ontology uses BFO as a top-level ontology and employs GeoCore and an ongoing version of the core ontology produced by the Industry Ontology Foundry (IOF) as middle-level ontologies. This research is part of the Petwin project that studies the best practices for developing a digital twin for monitoring and simulating petroleum production in the industry.
