Complimentary Public Courses
Join us in cities around the world for in-person courses designed to share practical reservoir engineering knowledge—free and open to the broader oil & gas community!
PVT Professional Development Courses
Dive into our PVT (Pressure-Volume-Temperature) courses to build a solid understanding of fluid behavior, lab data, and EOS modeling. Whether you join us online or in person, these courses are designed to be practical, technical, and immediately useful. Best of all, they’re complimentary for the whitsonPVT and whitson+ user community.

Tailored In-House Courses
If you are not located near a course venue or if you wish to have a personalized course, classroom training can be brought to you!
Why choose in-house training?
Flexibility: in-house courses can be customized to your company’s needs and participants’ backgrounds
Team building: attending an in-house course with your colleagues helps bonding and reinforce team player skills
Time management: participants don’t travel and focus on learning
Cost-efficiency: having a training delivered at your premises is often more convenient than sending a group of participants to another location.
The course can also be held virtual if wanted.
w+ Professional Development Courses
