FDPlan

Accelerating time from exploration to production with data-driven, agile, and collaborative evaluations

In the energy industry, time is money, and decisions shape the future. The FDPlan™ agile field development planning solution accelerates the planning process by enabling data insights, collaboration, and agile evaluations. It empowers engineers, geologists, and project managers to explore alternatives, make better decisions, and deliver faster results, all within a single, integrated digital application.

From exploration to planning for greenfield and brownfield sites

→ Conceptual planning from exploration stages and annual planning cycles for greenfield and brownfield developments.
→ Applicable to onshore and offshore energy projects.
→ Supports oil and gas operations, carbon capture, utilization, and sequestration (CCUS), and emissions calculations.

Accelerate your timeline, for earlier production and a shorter time to cash flow

From accelerating project timelines to improving decision-making and collaboration, the data-driven approach and agile workflows of the FDPlan solution provide energy teams with the tools they need to optimize performance and maximize value.

Accelerated time-to-first-oil
