Aspen HYSYS® Field Development and Conceptual Design Builder (Aspen CDB)
Enables rapid development and screening of design alternatives for new production facilities
Aspen HYSYS Field Development and Conceptual Design Builder (Aspen CDB) provides a consistent framework for making technical and commercial decisions at the early stages of a plant or process assessment. The application reduces the time required to develop a conceptual design and costing of an oil and gas facility, and facilitates a consistent approach to design and analysis. Aspen CDB is a core element of AspenTech’s aspenONE® Engineering applications.
Features
- Rapid generation of conceptual designs and associated capital and operating expense analysis for oil and gas production facilities
- Development of rigorous, detailed and extensible simulations from preliminary field data
- Case study analysis of multiple design scenarios over the production life cycle (e.g., production, energy, emissions)
- Generation of detailed Aspen HYSYS® simulation case files for each design scenario
- Rapid determination of equipment sizes and weights
- Development of cost estimates using Aspen Process Economic Analyzer for one or for all of the Aspen HYSYS cases
- Microsoft® Excel reporting of plant configuration, heat and mass balance, production profile and emissions profile

As part of the Aspen HYSYS product family, generation of capital and operating expense analysis is enhanced using AspenTech’s integrated costing and sizing workflow to generate a cost estimate with Aspen Process Economic Analyzer. In addition, engineering quality deliverables can be generated using Aspen Basic Engineering.
