Happy exploring! And remember we are always here to support at support@whitson.com
PVT
- Huge PVT revamp.
- 10x speed increase to create phase envelope, PVT table.
- 100x speed increase for GOR + psat method.
- 100x speed increase for gas Huff-n-Puff PVT experiment.
DCA
- Month option (x-axis: month | convert daily data to monthly data)
- Bulk edit plot settings
- Linked cutoff rates
- PHDwin import
- Mosaic: ratio forecast export/import
- Aries: ratio forecast export/import
BHP
- Option to specify the lift gas density
- Maximum injection depth for “automatic” valve depth calculation
- Liquid level in static / quiet side calculations
- 2x speed increase, plus stability improvements
RTA
- PNR vs Cum plot: new default to lower right, with forecast appended
- EUR calculation (we recommend doing this in real time)
- Option to add Dlim and/or cut off rate to empirical forecast
Numerical RTA
- Important Stability Upgrade
- Option to plot choke and bottomhole pressure on secondary axis
Numerical Model
- Frac angle option: provide lateral and fracture azimuth to evaluate wells where fracs are not perpendicular to the lateral.
- Distance dependent fracture permeability: change fracture conductivity as a function of fracture length.
- Economic Limit: cut off rate.
- Sensitivities: reporting errors of each run.
- Reporting base case error.
Nodal: IPR/VLP
- IPR / VLP saved cases are now in editable form. Much better experience for creating sensitivities and multiple cases at the same time.
- Include critical rate to lift for all VLPs (oil and gas), previously was only shown for gas VLPs
- Warning when the correlation selected is different than the correlation used for BHP.
Nodal: Gas Lift Optimizer
- Plot gas lift rate vs BHP, in addition to gas lift rate vs oil rate.
- Mass run of gas lift optimizer for 1000s of wells. Automatically picks the latest production date, and generates a gas lift optimization curve for all wells.
- Results page with all gas lift optimizer results, for identifying wells under-injecting vs wells over injecting.
Nodal: Gradient
- Show open GL valve depth on gradient plot.
- Report open GL valve on case table and on the plot.
- Improved table of detailed results, including deltaP per segment for friction, gravity and acceleration.
- In detailed table, added a new menu with check boxes to show/hide columns.
Auto-Forecast
- 10x speed increase
- Partial fit: decide if you want to fit the last x % of production data, the last x days of production data or a date range
- Ratio forecasting: apply a GOR, WOR, CGR, WGR or water cut forecast on your secondary phase.
- Auto-Forecast Hierarchy: Group Forecasts Under Type Well Areas
- Customizable plot settings: Set how You Would Like to visualize the plot
Type Well
- Blended forecasts in type well (use a mix of saved forecasts)
- Speed improvements for larger datasets
- Ability to append ratio forecasts
- Type Well Hierarchy: Group Forecasts Under a Type Well Area
Comparison Plot
- Append DCA option (can mix different DCA’s to be appended)
- Highlighting feature: single click time series in plot or well in well list.
- Aggregate: by sum or by average
- Save a Template
- Copy Plot to Another Project
Bulk Operations
- Bulk edit scenarios
- Bulk save the ‘Main’ case as a scenario
- Bulk run gas lift optimizer
- Bulk visualize / sort gas lift optimizer results
… in addition, this will be deployed the near future.
Filter and GIS upgrade
- Merging of filter and GIS
- Filter wells by graphical selection
- Save a filter set
- And / or option for filter
- Clustering
Cross Plots
- In comparison plot.
Production Data
- Truncate data option. Don’t delete but change the window where production data starts and ends.
