Brian Collins 89 Energy Lead Research & Reservoir Engineer
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.
-
Jon Pratt Devon Energy Production Engineer
The whitson+ platform is fast, intuitive to learn, and supported by a fantastic developer team. The tool suite is integrated in a way that enables quick calculation and efficient communication of key parameters used by reservoir and production engineering teams.
-
Maria Putt Magnolia Senior Reservoir Engineering Advisor
The whitson+ platform offers a robust multiphase flow simulator allowing for better matches in all three fluid phases while cutting evaluation time in half. The level of technical support and great understanding of RE fundamentals to explain workflows implemented in the tool help users standardize processes and build best practices in reservoir characterization. The platform covers empirical, analytical, and numerical approaches which greatly helps when analyzing data. It has been a pleasure working with the Whitson team as they are incredibly responsive in addressing issues, adding new features, and enable knowledge sharing with industry peers. They truly stand out from other “software providers” and something that every reservoir engineer should have in their toolkit.
-
Matt Padgham Citizen Energy Senior Reservoir Engineer
The whitson team is what you want in a partnership, they have the technical know how along with a desire to build the best and most efficient platform. I am routinely blown away by their responsiveness to questions and product enhancements. A reservoir simulation study or sensitivity that took hours or days historically can now be completed with confidence in the matter of minutes. As a reservoir engineering community, we are also fortunate that Whitson is committed to enhancing the overall discipline by providing training, knowledge sharing, and joint industry projects.

Steve Jones Consultant Recognized Reservoir Engineering Expert
I love the PVT tools and the fact the black-oil tables work flawlessly in simulators. I’ve also found whitson to be the most responsive in implementing new technologies for reservoir analysis, while working out the fundamentals necessary to bring them to practical application.
-
Michael Tantillo Anschutz Exploration Corporation Reservoir Engineer
whitson+ has proven to be an incredible resource. The user-friendly interface allows for quick analysis, which has allowed to us to make decisions to drive spacing and completions for future development. The customer service at Whitson is one of a kind; through training, fast response time, and continuous development to the program, my experience with whitson+ has been wonderful.

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 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.
