X-Crude.

Plan crude liftings around production and storage.

X-Crude models offshore production, storage and shuttle-tanker movements. Compare lifting schedules and fleet requirements while accounting for field production, tank capacity and vessel availability.

Lifting plan

PRODUCTION, INVENTORY AND VESSELS

Review when each field needs a lifting and which vessels can serve it. Compare projected inventory with storage limits.

WHAT IT DOES

What you can do with X-Crude.

01

Schedule liftings

Use production forecasts and inventory levels to determine when cargoes need to load.

02

Check storage capacity

Track inventory against the storage and ullage limits entered for each field.

03

Include operating windows

Represent vessel availability and the loading restrictions used in your planning assumptions.

04

Compare voyage plans

Assess the routes, voyage times and costs associated with each lifting programme.

05

Assess fleet requirements

Test whether different vessel combinations can serve the production plan.
