Using detailed technical algorithms and regional databases, QUE$TOR provides a consistent methodology for generating cost estimates associated with both CAPEX and OPEX. Managers receive the data needed for effective cost control, optimisation of development cost, and rapid and consistent global project cost evaluation.

At the heart of QUE$TOR are cost and technical databases covering all producing regions of the world. These databases are updated every six months with costs gathered from fabricators, vendors, service companies etc.
Using primary input data (recoverable reserves, reservoir depth etc) a production profile is generated, the development concept defined, and design flowrates calculated. The program then sizes facilities, pipelines, substructures and calculates capital costs, drilling costs and operating costs. These costs are then scheduled to provide project cashflows and use for cost control.

Unit rates for equipment items, materials, fabrication installation, hook-up and commissioning, decommissioning and other project costs populate the regional databases. QUE$TOR has been benchmarked against actual project costs and is continuously updated to reflect the latest changes in technology.
QUE$TOR produces management quality reports, which can be printed or exported to spreadsheets for further analysis. Project cashflows can be imported into our AS$ET™ software for post-tax economic analysis.

QUE$TOR Onshore includes the following components for onshore oilfield estimation:

  • Wellsites: includes manifolding, equipment and flowlines.
  • Drilling: various types of rig, multiple well profile types and multilaterals.
  • Facilities: options for manifold stations, gathering stations and production facilities with full oil and gas processing.
  • Terminals: options for inland and coastal terminals including storage and export systems.
  • Pipelines: infield flowlines and export pipelines with options for different terrains, crossings and booster stations.
  • Infrastructure: includes for construction camps, roads, airstrips, buildings etc.
