WHITE PAPER
Delivering the Highest Value from Assets in Oil & Gas
Mounting pressures from investors, customers and regulators are creating huge capital planning challenges for oil and gas companies globally. Low commodity prices, aging assets, decarbonization, Environmental Social and Governance (ESG) commitments, digitalization, and increased regulation are forcing companies to rethink how they approach capital planning. Value-based decision making in a transparent, data-driven environment is the formula for success.
Copperleaf® helps oil and gas companies optimize investment decisions and direct funding to the activities that will best address all of these key challenges.
Decision Analytics for Oil & Gas
Helping companies manage, communicate, and defend investment needs—today and into the future
- Create “what-if” scenarios to explore the impact of different investment strategies on risk, economic return, and sustainability metrics
- Understand the risks associated with your asset base and how you are managing those risks through your investment plan
- Optimize the allocation of capital across business areas and divisions to maximize value
- Analyze the impact of changes in commodity pricing and macroeconomic parameters on your investment strategy
- Create a more structured approach to business case development and approvals to improve planning efficiency and support corporate governance requirements
Adopted by Industry Leaders
YPF, the leading vertically-integrated oil and gas company in Argentina, selected the Copperleaf Decision Analytics Solution for its downstream business, which includes three refineries, an extensive pipeline network, and more than 1,500 gas stations. The system went live in 2018 to help YPF optimize its CAPEX investment portfolios, proactively manage risk, and align investment planning processes with the ISO 5500x standard.
Copperleaf Portfolio™ provides the ability to perform sensitivity analysis on financial parameters (e.g. inflation rates, oil prices, multicurrency) to evaluate the impact of various macroeconomic conditions on investment strategies. This enables YPF to optimize the allocation of capital, better communicate and justify its investment decisions, and increase planning efficiencies across the enterprise.
Future-proof your investment strategy
Oil and gas companies will likely face a capital-constrained future, one in which self-funded growth will be more commonplace. In turn, tighter capital will only add to the urgency with which oil and gas companies must respond to the complex, intrinsic and even existential market disruptions they face.”
Predict the sustainment needs of diverse assets
Many oil and gas companies struggle to forecast sustainment needs across the diverse asset types that exist within their upstream, midstream and downsteam businesses. Copperleaf Asset™ provides a long-term view by determining the optimal economic intervention dates for every unique asset, based on age, condition, degradation, and risk profile. Copperleaf Asset considers the total cost of operating, maintaining, refurbishing and replacing the asset, as well as the risks associated with potential failures, throughout its entire lifecycle.
Adaptable Enterprise Solution
Copperleaf provides a highly configurable software solution that can grow with you as your business needs evolve. It integrates seamlessly with existing EAM, APM, ERP, GIS, and other systems for more efficient, data-driven decision making.
