Brian Collins 89 Energy Reservoir Engineering Advisor
whitson+ has completely changed the way that I approach and conduct reservoir engineering. Combining solid PVT with both numerical RTA and multiphase FMB gives a lot of freedom to investigate well performance and find “consensus.” In addition to being a well-thought-out platform, working with the guys from whitson has also been exceptional. Not a single problem goes unanswered both from a long-term functionality perspective as well as immediate bug fixes.

Matt Maguire Diamondback Energy Senior Reservoir Engineering Advisor
whitson is an excellent company to partner with. They bring expertise across PVT, hydraulic BHP calculations, RTA, DCA, and provide a well-constructed easy to use seamlessly integrated Web based software. In addition, their response time on questions, software modifications, and overall support is blazing fast. Touching on software modifications: I have never worked with a company that is not only open to making changes to help clients but completes them quickly. Not years, not quarters, not months, but in days or weeks. Very impressive. Just a great group of folks to work with.

Brian Bounds Rimrock Resources VP Reservoir Engineering
I believe that great software solutions are only as good as the people that develop and more importantly support the product. The whitson professionals are exceptional on many levels: excellent client support and training, attentive to client’s needs, setting a new industry standard in awareness to industry trends and enhancing the product accordingly. The whitson+ solution is revolutionizing the process of better understanding reservoir characteristics using RTA, numerical simulation, PVT analysis and much more. whitson+ has created an efficient, easy to use software solution that has given me more confidence in best understanding well density, recoverable reserves, completion efficiency and just a better overall understanding of the reservoirs I evaluate. Did I mention that the training and support are best in class?

Saul Rivera Barraza Murphy Staff Reservoir Engineer
The whitson+ team and software have made a significant impact at Murphy, demonstrated by the ability to model over 1,000 South Texas wells, some with a vintage dating back to 2010. This work, which involved various artificial lift systems and targeted different benches, was completed within a three-month period. The team’s customer-centric culture is evident not only in their quick responses to inquiries and feedback, but also in the development of their work products. The knowledge sharing sessions, training, and whitCon conference foster a sense of community, positioning whitson+ as more than just another tool in our toolbox but a game changer for the industry.

Key Features
Take PVT to the next level
PVT has an impact on essentially every discipline in the petroleum domain. However, utilizing and accessing PVT information can be costly, impractical and time-consuming. whitsonPVT streamlines the access to both PVT data and models throughout an organization. Every PVT report, black oil table, fluid initialization model or gas-EOR calculation is centralized in one place. We like to think about it as a living document for PVT data and models that ensures consistency and enables collaboration across an organization.
- PVT laboratory quality checks (QCs)
- C7+ Characterization & Gamma Modeling
- EOS Tuning & Pseudoization
- Physical & Thermodynamic Consistency Checks
- Fluid Databasing & Management

Fluid Characterization
Understanding petroleum fluids is fundamental to maximizing the profitability of oil and gas assets, as the fluids are what we produce, and what we sell. An equation of state (EOS) model is one of the most sophisticated technologies available to describe these petroleum fluids. We have over the last 30+ years specialized in EOS model development and fluid characterization. Our EOS development projects generally involve multiple fluid samples from different wells.
- PVT Report / Data QC
- EOS Model Development
- Black Oil Table Generation
- Fluid Initialization
Example Tasks
Gas Condensate Reservoirs
whitson gas condensate services include topics related to PVT, condensate blockage, and simulation of well productivity, depletion and gas cycling using black-oil and EOS reservoir models. We work with all PVT laboratories on design, QC and interpretation of conventional and special gas condensate PVT studies. We develop EOS and black-oil PVT models with special emphasis on gas condensate issues like CGR variation, condensate blockage and gas cycling EOR. Together with Stratum Reservoir (Trondheim Lab) we quantify near-well flow leading to blockage; whitson designs and interprets the lab tests, then develops velocity-dependent relative permeability models.
- Relative Permeability Experiment Design
- Relative Permeability Modeling
- Condensate Blockage Modeling
- Gas Cycling / EOR
- EOS & Black Oil PVT Modeling
Example Tasks
Gas-Based EOR
Enhanced oil recovery with gas injection is a commonly used strategy to increase the recovery from existing oil and gas fields. We assist our clients in both conventional and unconventional assets in addressing the challenges related to the implementation and operation of gas EOR projects, specifically assisting in selection of wells for injection, design of injection strategy (number of wells, injection pressures & volumes), and history-matching once the EOR has been started.
