FDPlan agile field development planning solution and FieldTwin from FutureOn
Integrated subsea and field layout planning at scale
Overview
Bring subsea layouts, facility configurations, and conceptual development scenarios together through a seamless integration between the FDPlan™ agile field development planning solution and FieldTwin.
Field development planning requires creating, comparing, and refining multiple development scenarios across domains, including geoscience, reservoir engineering, drilling, subsea, pipelines, facilities, and production operations.
The FDPlan solution automates the creation of conceptual scenarios and integrates with specialist engines to streamline multidisciplinary planning.
Through this partnership, FutureOn’s FieldTwin connects directly to the FDPlan solution, enabling a two‑way exchange of subsea and surface layout information.
This integration accelerates early‑stage planning by enabling:
- Import of existing infrastructure directly into the FDPlan solution.
- Export of FDPlan solution‑generated concepts into FieldTwin for detailed visualization and refinement.
- Continuous iteration between both systems for highly optimized development planning.
Accelerate your planning with integrated subsea insight
Integrate subsea layouts. Accelerate conceptual planning. Improve decisions with synchronized cross-domain workflows.
How It Works
Connected data exchange between the FDPlan solution and FieldTwin
- For brownfield cases, start in FieldTwin: Existing subsea and topside infrastructure is captured and managed within FieldTwin.
- This data is streamed directly into the FDPlan solution to support upgrades, expansion, and brownfield opportunities assessment.
- Greenfield scenario generation in the FDPlan solution: The FDPlan concept generator engine creates conceptual development options, wells, subsea network pre-design, facilities placement, and production paths.
- Send concepts from the FDPlan solution to FieldTwin: new development scenarios, upgrades, or expansions are sent to FieldTwin for visualization, layout optimization, and engineering refinements.
- Updated layouts back into the FDPlan solution for integrated analysis: Refined FieldTwin layouts are sent back to the FDPlan solution for further analysis across cost, production performance, and economics.
This integration creates a closed‑loop workflow that improves cooperation between subsurface and surface teams.
