SLB and Quorum Software introduce joint digital planning solution

SLB and Quorum Software have introduced a joint digital planning solution, which leverages Quorum’s Planning Space business planning and petroleum economics offering within the FDPlan agile field development planning solution from SLB.

The integrated solution enables automatic evaluation of project economics and enhances collaboration to cut the time required for field development planning by up to 50%. This allows customers to analyse a broader range of development scenarios and make better global investment decisions, faster.

“Quorum and SLB have released a powerful evaluation and planning solution for improving asset selection and development decisions,” comments Trygve Randen, senior vice president of digital products and solutions, SLB. “With subsurface and petroleum economics connected, customers can quickly assess their global asset portfolio to prioritise their development projects, lowering costs, maximising returns, and significantly reducing time to value through streamlined field development planning processes.”

The solution brings petroleum economics data into the earliest stage of asset evaluation and incorporates corporate standard fiscal regimes, prices, and currencies. Subsurface data, domain workflows, and corporate decision-making are united, increasing collaboration between development geoscientists, engineers, and petroleum economics teams for faster and better-informed decisions.

“Delivering this integrated solution with SLB and Planning Space, our industry-leading planning and economics solution, is truly an exciting first for the market,” said Tyson Greer, chief products officer at Quorum. “This integrated solution will enhance performance and profitability for energy companies globally with seamless connectivity between petrotechnical data and business planning. We’re committed to continuing to co-innovate with SLB across planning, economics and reserves to better serve the global energy community.”

Quorum and SLB’s agreement to integrate their solutions within the cloud-based Delfi digital platform was initially announced in June 2022, and it is now commercially available.
