By: Mathias Carlsen I’m personally a fan of using all the “tools in the toolbox” when analyzing well performance. In whitson+, that includes, They should all tell a story. And a consistent analysis would tell a consistent story. BUT each method has its own strengths, weaknesses, and assumptions. And those are important to understand. In […]

Author: Markus Hays Nielsen In order to describe the behavior of petroleum fluids, an accurate and consistent fluid model is needed. Different fluid systems can behave significantly differently during depletion of the reservoir and throughout the downstream system. The aim of the following articles is to describe what makes different fluids behave differently and how […]
Author: Markus Hays Nielsen The most critical part of making a fluid model for petroleum mixtures is the C7+ characterization. We will be publishing a set of articles on this topic where we go through all the nitty-gritty, but for now we just wanted to get in the mood by becoming more familiar with the […]
