QUE$TOR™ Offshore - Oil and Gas Project Cost Analysis Tool
|
The world’s leading software solution for new oil and gas project cost analysis with over 500 users in 40 countries countries has undergone a complete software rewrite, to provide all the former capabilities plus a significant impact to the speed and increased functionality.
This latest technology framework provides the foundation for future enhancements and functionality and linking to Onshore facilities.
QUE$TOR is a project modelling, evaluation and decision support system for global application in the oil and gas industry. It is the industry standard tool for cost evaluation and concept optimization of new oil and gas field developments. It enables the user to estimate and run sensitivities on the CAPEX and OPEX of alternative field development plans. |

- Proven system for screening studies, prospect evaluation and concept optimization
- Supplied with up-to-date worldwide cost and technical databases (which can be easily copied and edited) and models alternative contracting strategies
- Provides a rapid consistent approach to global project evaluation
- Generates complete life of field costs, CAPEX and OPEX
- Saves thousands of manhours
- Leverages IHS basin data as a start point
Using detailed technical algorithms and regional databases, QUE$TOR provides a consistent methodology for generating cost estimates and optimizing development plans.
At the heart of QUE$TOR are cost and technical databases (user accessible and built on Microsoft Access) covering all producing regions of the world. These databases are updated every six months with costs gathered from actual projects, fabricators, vendors, service companies etc.
Using primary input data (recoverable reserves, reservoir depth, water depth, etc leveraging IHS basin data) 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, operating costs and abandonment costs. These costs are then scheduled to provide project cashflows. From field level input to the cost estimate the time is only 2 seconds using the proven detailed methodology algorithms.
The regional databases are populated with unit rates for equipment items, materials, fabrication installation, hook-up & commissioning and other project costs. QUE$TOR has been benchmarked against actual project costs and is continuously developed to reflect the latest changes in technology.
QUE$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.
