Insulate your supply chain against volatility
Planning can make or break businesses vulnerable to the unpredictable fluctuations in demand for oil & gas. The risks of making financial decisions
based on forecasted demand are greater than ever. Ensuring safety and minimizing environmental impact while maximizing return on capital employed
requires optimization across integrated supply chains.
Optimize against constraints for healthier margins
Quintiq’s integrated supply chain planning software for oil & gas companies is configured to respect all of your organization’s business rules,
such as production capacity, inventory and logistics constraints and contractual requirements. Quintiq software provides you with only fully
practicable plans, optimized against your unique key performance indicators and constraints. All plans can be adjusted in real-time to reflect
the day-to-day realities of your business. Explore the benefits of Quintiq software for upstream, midstream, downstream and integrated oil &
gas companies.
Upstream
Exploration
Exploration is always risky - make it an informed risk with Quintiq.
-
Scenario planning
Assess the profitability of exploration wells by comparing different demand and supply scenarios and plant capabilities
-
Decision support
Compare the potential profitability of various sites in order to make the best decision for the future of your organization
-
Multi-resource optimization

-
Real-world plans
Create practicable plans that incorporate all business goals, rules and legislation
As the world's major oil & gas fields are depleted, oil & gas producers are forced to invest in the exploration of smaller, more
complex oil fields. This requires more sophisticated equipment operated by highly-trained specialists, both of which are in high demand
and come at a greater cost. Optimizing these valuable resources can mean the difference between a viable project and a costly mistake.
Get it right with Quintiq oil & gas planning software.
