Last updated: 15 January 2024 Bakken – Multi-Client Study The Bakken multi-client project was first initiated in 2018. The main objective of the study was to create one, field-wide equation of state (EOS) model for the entire Bakken. Since then more data has been incorporated into the model, resulting in a more robust thermodynamic description. […]

whitson is excited to provide an update of our software implementation progress. New Feature Highlights Our focus is increasing the functionality and with upgrades focused on simplifying the user experience: Production Data Upload Handling of different time steps (hourly, daily and monthly data and/or mix of them all) Faster copy-paste of data into manual upload Mass […]
Author: Ilina Yusra Analyzing infinite-acting linear flow using the square root of time plot has been important in tight unconventional reservoirs since it was first introduced in 1988 by Wattenbarger et al. The goal of the analysis is to determine the fundamental reservoir parameters by solving the analytically derived equations for the two flow regimes […]
EOS Component Lumping Optimization To reduce CPU time in compositional petroleum simulation models (e.g. compositional reservoir simulations), a minimum number of components should be used in the equation of state (EOS) to describe the fluid phase and volumetric behavior. A ″detailed” EOS model often contains from 20 to 40 components, with the first 10 components […]
Author: Markus Blytt With the creation of Fortran during the 1950s and 1960s, computer science took a giant leap in the direction of popularizing the art of coding. Today, Fortran is considered an ancient language, mainly because of two things: (1) a wide range of much more high-level programming languages exist, making it easier for […]
Two common goals of Rate Transient Analysis (RTA) are the quantification of early time well performance using the Linear Flow Parameter (LFP), as well as Original Oil In Place (OOIP) volume being drained. These two parameters are essential for understanding the effects of completions, geology, and depletion which then advises different strategies for optimizing the […]
Houston — 23 September 2021 — whitson and Cimarex Energy Co. (NYSE: XEC) are pleased to announce the signing of a technical collaboration agreement related to reservoir evaluation software. The focus of the development is key reservoir characterization modules for tight unconventional wells. Background. Over the last four years, Cimarex has developed a novel multiphase […]
By Mathias Lia Carlsen, August 2021 We are launching a joint industry project (JIP) related to the numerical RTA workflow proposed by Bowie & Ewert (2020) that will kick-off in Q4 2021. But what is “Numerical RTA”? Well, in short the workflow leverages a full-physics reservoir simulator to estimate key RTA outputs (e.g., LFP and […]
