At whitson, we don’t just build software — we work hand-in-hand with engineers to help shape the future of petroleum engineering. Trusted by over 120 companies, from supermajors to independents and operators to financial firms, our platforms are designed to tackle the toughest reservoir and production challenges. With tools like PVT, RTA, DCA, automatic BHP, forecasting, and flowing material balance analysis — plus expert support and a strong community behind you — we’re here to help you succeed.
When rates are flat, pressure still speaks.
Unlock those hidden clues using physics-based models so you can understand what’s really happening beneath the surface. Gain clearer insight. Make smarter, more confident decisions on your wells.
Consulting Services
Tap into decades of experience from the industry’s top experts to get practical, proven solutions for your assets.
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.
Example Tasks
Example Tasks
- PVT Report / Data QC
- EOS Model Development
- Black Oil Table Generation
- Fluid Initialization
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.
Example Tasks
Example Tasks
- Relative Permeability Experiment Design
- Relative Permeability Modeling
- Condensate Blockage Modeling
- Gas Cycling / EOR
- EOS & Black Oil PVT Modeling
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.

Software Platforms
Access cutting-edge, web-based tools designed to empower petroleum engineers — anywhere, anytime.
A web-based, all-in-one petroleum engineering platform — built from the ground up over the past 4 years with the latest RTA methods, a full-physics simulator, and integrated thermodynamic engine. It’s now used by 120+ companies ranging from large operators (Chevron, Devon, Ovintiv, etc.) to PE-backed independents. Over 90% of our users have transitioned from other legacy tools, often starting with our popular workflow that auto-calculates bottomhole pressures across entire well sets (see Devon-Snowflake case study here).

A one-stop-shop for all things PVT! The three pillars of whitsonPVT are fluid data & model management, fluid model development, and fluid model utilization. Our goal is to follow and track the fluids from sampling and sample storage, to digitizing and visualizing PVT sample data (compositions and PVT experiments) and associated QA/QCs, to maximizing the available data in a consistent and highly accurate fluid model development (with associated QA/QCs), to finally using the fluid models inside whitsonPVT or easily exporting the models to other applications (reservoirs simulation, process simulation, network models, etc.).
