whitson+ – comprehensive software updates list
- Nodal Analysis
- Calculate VLPs and Vogel IPRs
- Compare well bore configurations
- Integrated with bottomhole pressure and flowing material balance feature.
- Chow Pressure Group
- Easily drag and drop put on production (PoP) line.
- Calculate Δp, Δp’ and CPG
- Drag and drop CPG interpretation
- DCA & Type Well Upgrade
- Upgraded drag-and-drop functionality

- More flexibility in setting artificial lift calculation settings for when liquid levels, gauge pressures and gas lift rates are not available.
- Explicitly edit water viscosity.
- Bulk export tuned BHP parameters (liquid hold-up and friction factor).
- 30% speed increase for bhp calculations.
- Data integration
- Upgrade of whitson+ API endpoints.
- Upgrade of whitson+ direct database connection process and procedures.
