Whitson Initiates Well Performance Consortium

This consortium represents a continuation of the 2022 Numerical RTA JIP and 2023 Multiphase RTA JIP with more than 60 participating companies. In this study, the focus will be on improving the workflows and associated software related bottomhole pressure calculations, RTA/FMB[1] workflows and nodal analysis

Whitson Initiates Uinta Basin JIP

This JIP is designed to develop a basin-wide EOS model, and/or formation-specific EOS models for the Uinta Basin. Industry participants will contribute with a participation fee and PVT laboratory reports. The resulting EOS model(s) will provide a means to generate key PVT data for individual wells based on readily-available data such as reservoir temperature, separator […]

Whitson Initiates Multiphase RTA Consortium

This consortium represents a continuation of the 2022 Numerical RTA JIP with more than 35 participating companies. In this study, the focus will be on improving the workflows and associated software related to three fundamental RTA technologies that have been recently introduced in the industry i) Numerical RTA (Apache, 2018-2020), ii) Multiphase Flowing Material Balance […]

Whitson Initiates Powder River JIP

This JIP is designed to develop a basin-wide EOS model, and/or formation-specific EOS models for the Powder River. Industry participants will contribute with a participation fee and PVT laboratory reports. The resulting EOS model(s) will provide a means to generate key PVT data for individual wells based on readily-available data such as reservoir temperature, separator […]

Whitson Initiates Numerical RTA JIP

This JIP is related to the numerical RTA workflow proposed by Bowie & Ewert (2020). In short, the workflow leverages a full-physics reservoir simulator to estimate key RTA outputs (e.g., LFP and OOIPs), while rigorously accounting for superposition and multi-phase flow effects. GOALS Develop best practices and guidelines related to the methodology. Use field (“real”) […]

Whitson Initiates Duvernay JIP

This JIP is designed to develop a basin-wide EOS model, and/or formation-specific EOS models for the Duvernay. Industry participants will contribute with a participation fee and PVT laboratory reports. The resulting EOS model(s) will provide a means to generate key PVT data for individual wells based on readily-available data such as reservoir temperature, separator gas […]

Whitson initiates SCOOP/STACK/MERGE JIP

This JIP is designed to develop a basin-wide EOS model, and/or formation-specific EOS models for the Anadarko Basin, including the Merge, SCOOP and STACK. Industry participants will contribute with a participation fee and PVT laboratory reports. The resulting EOS model(s) will provide a means to generate key PVT data for individual wells based on readily-available data […]
