FDPlan agile field development planning solution and Rystad Energy
Integrated benchmark intelligence for early planning
Overview
Transforming field development planning with integrated benchmark intelligence
Field development planning requires creating multiple development scenarios for technical and economic evaluation.
The FDPlan™ agile field development planning solution automates the creation and comparison of development options by integrating specialist engines across wells, facilities, subsea, pipelines, and production.
Through this partnership, the FDPlan solution seamlessly integrates with Rystad Energy’s Prospect Cost Estimator, enabling users to generate fully benchmarked CAPEX and OPEX estimates for every development concept, immediately.
This brings a new level of accuracy, automation, and defensibility to early-stage planning.
Start planning with benchmarks built in
Automate cost estimation. Accelerate conceptual planning. Make decisions with confidence.
How It Works
Automated cost estimation inside the FDPlan solution
- The FDPlan solution generates multiple conceptual field development options using its integrated scenario builder.
- For each concept, the FDPlan solution defines the key technical scopes required for cost estimation.
- These scopes are automatically sent to Rystad Energy’s Prospect Cost Estimating Solution, which is embedded as an automated engine within the FDPlan solution workflows.
- The integrated engine returns a complete CAPEX and OPEX estimate for each concept, covering wells, subsea networks, pipelines, and facilities.
- The FDPlan solution combines these results with the production forecast to create a fully integrated economic assessment for rapid comparison and ranking.
This enables users to move from concept to cost, to economics all within a single workflow
Benefits
Why the FDPlan solution and Rystad Energy deliver a new standard for planning
Full automation of development CAPEX and OPEX
Every scenario receives a complete cost breakdown across the full project scope.
Powered by Rystad Energy’s DynamiX-based Prospect Cost Estimating Solution
Cost estimates are continuously updated using Rystad Energy’s extensive research into cost drivers, market conditions, and global development outcomes.
Understand what's driving project costs
Users gain visibility into the relative importance of cost drivers, enabling optimization and value-focused decision-making.
Faster, more defensible decisions
Benchmark-aligned estimates improve confidence and reduce the time spent calibrating internal cost models.
Ideal for conceptual field development plans (FDPs) and asset screening
Evaluate 10, 20, or 50 field development options quickly and consistently.
Case Studies
