Upstream

The industry is facing challenges of meeting increased energy demand at lower cost with fewer emissions. Our digital solutions optimize the value chain from exploration to production to secure the world’s needs for sustainable and affordable energy for the future.

High costs and uncertainty in assessing the feasibility of new oil & gas exploration projects was a challenge for a major operator in the Caspian Sea region.

Learn how the company used AspenTech solutions to reduce the scope for new exploration wells significantly while maintaining the quality of production forecasts by focusing on the key uncertainties.
