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.
-
whitson+ has been instrumental in our operations, seamlessly integrating 5000+ wells for daily updates. The real-time production and wellbore data, allowing us to calculate bottomhole pressures, have been a game-changer. The support from whitson+ is top-notch. Their team is responsive and knowledgeable, ensuring our operations run smoothly.
-
whitson is keen to improve their product with user feedback and cutting-edge technical tools. whitson+ workflows span the needs of petroleum engineers, from basic DCA on thousands of wells to full physics simulations. Feedback and questions are always encouraged, and a whitson team member will respond to your query within minutes.
-
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?
-
I have been using whitson+ for quite some time now and I can’t stress enough how much I appreciate its user-friendly interface. The workflow is so intuitive that it makes my task a breeze. Plus, the customer support is top-notch (best I have seen so far in O&G). Whenever I’ve had questions or needed assistance, their team has been incredibly helpful resolving any issues promptly. This level of support has made my overall experience with whitson+ truly outstanding.
-
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.

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.

- 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.
