the power of collaboration: teaming up with microsoft, slb

The collaboration is focused on three products: FDPlan, DrillPlan and DrillOps.

FDPlan leverages the power of high-performance computing to bring subsurface models together. By doing so, it helps employees use the best data available to make faster and better decisions in highly complex environments.

In the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, FDPlan allows Chevron to quickly analyze different options for developing a reservoir, to ensure that its teams focus on the best scenario.

DrillPlan is used by engineers who are developing drilling plans, and DrillOps is a platform used by the teams that drill the wells.

With DrillPlan, Chevron has cut 30 days off its deepwater well planning process. In Argentina, the tool has helped the company reduce its well planning cycle time for an eight-well pad from two weeks to less than a day.
