Upstream

Optimize and maintain asset performance to maximize production from exploration to operations to reservoir closure. Apply analytics combined with rigorous models to achieve higher asset reliability and yields, while maximizing asset utilization and reducing carbon footprint.

Seismic Classification and Modeling Solutions for Optimized Drilling, Reduced Risk

Read this case study to learn how YPF, a state-owned energy company, used AspenTech solutions to:

  • Visualize well and seismic data to create structural models of the reservoir
  • Gain insight of geological settings for drilling optimization
  • Identify potential drilling areas outside of the main structure to propose new wells
