AspenTech’s Engineering Solution for Midstream
Drive operational excellence and profitability through optimal process design and operations
Solutions for gas processing of conventional and unconventional hydrocarbons including shale gas
AspenTech's Engineering solution for Midstream is a subset of aspenONE® Engineering for Exploration & Production. It is an integrated lifecycle solution—from conceptual design of gathering systems and facilities to modeling of inlet separation, acid gas removal and NGL plants—enabling you to model, build, and operate more competitive and reliable gas processing facilities. Companies are able to reduce costs, improve and optimize throughput, maintain safety, and achieve environmental stewardship.
AspenTech’s Engineering solution for Midstream enables companies to:
- Reduce capital costs through simultaneous steady-state and dynamic process optimization, pipeline flow analysis, equipment design, and cost estimation
- Reduce operating costs by integrating simulation models with actual operating data for operations planning and decision support
- Improve safety and operability through integrated design of process and control systems early in the asset lifecycle
Companies can bring new gas processing facilities to market faster with a higher return on investment. In addition, you can improve asset performance through monitoring, de-bottlenecking, and revamps, quickly adapting to changing market conditions.
