Nodal Analysis in whitson+ | 2026

Nodal Analysis in whitson+ | Full Training Recording (March 25, 2026) This full-session recording covers practical nodal analysis workflows for production engineers using whitson+ — combining theory with real-world application across oil and gas wells. Originally delivered live on March 25, 2026 (9:00 AM – 12:00 PM CT), this course walks through how to confidently analyze well performance, diagnose constraints, and optimize production using integrated IPR/VLP modeling. What you’ll learn This session focuses on applied nodal analysis, including: Estimating bottomhole pressure (BHP) from surface data with high reliability Diagnosing liquid loading and identifying underperforming wells Determining active gas lift valves and understanding valve behavior Building and interpreting IPR (Inflow Performance Relationship) and VLP (Vertical Lift Performance) curves Comparing casing vs tubing flow performance in gas wells Evaluating gas lift optimization scenarios across different injection rates Using gas lift performance curves to identify over-injection and inefficiencies Breaking down pressure losses in the wellbore (friction vs gravity dominance) Running mass-rate liquid loading diagnostics across well inventories Optimally distributing lift gas across multiple wells to maximize total production Why this matters Nodal analysis is one of the most powerful tools in production engineering — enabling engineers to: Identify true production constraints Optimize artificial lift performance Improve forecast accuracy Make faster, data-driven decisions across entire assets In this session, we move beyond theory and focus on repeatable, scalable workflows inside whitson+.
