News – Well Performance 40th Anniversary Printing
Well Performance 40th Anniversary Printing
17 November 2025
40 years later… and still shaping how we think about wells.
In January, we’re releasing the 40th Anniversary Printing of Well Performance — a book first published in 1986, but still quietly influencing how engineers diagnose and understand wells around the world.
This reprint keeps the original manuscript exactly as it was. No rewrites. No modern polish. Just the ideas that helped an entire generation learn to “see” wells differently — ideas that still apply today, even in a world of horizontal, multi-fractured, ultra-tight wells stretching miles long. 🚀🛢️
Why bring it back now?
Because so many of the fundamentals haven’t changed. And because the conversations around those fundamentals absolutely have.
As we prepare for the January release, we’d love to hear from the people who grew up with this book on their desk (or inherited it from someone who did): 👉 How did the original Well Performance book shape your career, thinking, or approach to reservoir & well diagnostics?
Drop your stories below — and stay tuned for more on the 40th Anniversary Printing.
The history, it turns out, still has a lot to say about the future.✨
