Numerical Modeling in whitson+ | 2026

Numerical Modelling | Recorded September 24, 2026 Numerical modelling provides engineers with a flexible, physics-based approach for understanding well performance, testing development scenarios, and generating production forecasts. In this three-hour course, Hamid Behmanesh covers the fundamentals of numerical modelling and puts the theory into practice using the whitson+ software platform. Through a combination of technical explanation and hands-on examples, Hamid walks through the key components of building and working with both single-well and multi-well numerical models. What You'll Learn Single-well numerical modelling fundamentals Time stepping and its impact on model performance Well controls and boundary conditions Grid refinement and model resolution Different forecasting options and workflows Running sensitivities to evaluate key assumptions Probabilistic modelling and uncertainty analysis Introduction to multi-well numerical modelling How to apply numerical modelling workflows directly in whitson+ Why This Matters Numerical models allow engineers to move beyond simplified analytical assumptions and represent more complex reservoir and well behavior. Understanding how to construct, refine, and test these models helps engineers evaluate uncertainty, compare development scenarios, and build more robust production forecasts. About whitson+ whitson+ is an integrated reservoir engineering platform that combines PVT analysis, material balance, decline curve analysis, rate transient analysis, pressure transient analysis, numerical modelling, production forecasting, and field development workflows in a single environment. Built by engineers for engineers, whitson+ helps teams move seamlessly from data to decision-making with transparent, physics-based workflows.
