Abstract: Apparatuses and systems and interfaces and methods implementing them including a virtual actor architecture that receives real-time, near real-time, and/or periodic data and information concerning oil/gas upstream, midstream, and downstream facilities via virtual actors, stores the real-time, near real-time, and/or periodic data and information in block of one or more blockchains, create virtual digital twins of the facility or a facility component, runs user requested or system requested simulations using either the real-time, near real-time, and/or periodic facility data directly or runs the user requested or system requested simulations on a virtual digital twin of the facility or facility component, and stores the results in blocks of the one or more blockchains.

Abstract: The present invention describes an architecture for increasing the performance of blockchain using a virtual actor model to provide stateful RESful services that are highly scalable and responsive to events as they support publishing and/or subscribing to streaming messages and/or events. The architecture as described leverages established distributed design practices to achieve what would otherwise require costly resource intensive hardware.
