WellFlo v4.01 Weatherford

WellFlo systems analysis software is a powerful and simple-to-use stand-alone application to design, model, optimize and troubleshoot individual oil and gas wells, whether naturally flowing or artificially lifted. With this software, the engineer builds well models, using a guided step-by-step well configuration interface. These accurate and rigorous models display the behavior of reservoir inflow, well tubing and surface pipeline flow, for any reservoir fluid. Using WellFlo software results in more effective capital expenditure by enhancing the design of wells and completions, reduces operating expenditure by finding and curing production problems and enhances revenues by improving well performance.

For over a decade, WellFlo software has been trusted by petroleum engineers around the world to solve their most challenging production engineering problems. It delivers sophistication, speed, and accuracy for designing completions, forecasting performance, diagnosing well problems, and optimizing production from existing installations. At the same time, the program remains simple to use, ensuring rapid learning and a high level of productivity in today’s highly demanding oil and gas industry.

WellFlo software integrates many sophisticated engineering features in a single program allowing rapid comparisons of different scenarios. As a result, users can quickly identify those engineering factors dominating well performance.

The WellFlo well analysis package is a sophisticated well modeling tool with a wide application to all producing or injecting oil wells. With more than a decade of use in applications in all major hydrocarbon producing regions it has benefited from the wide range of technical environments in which it has been used. WellFlo 4.0 software builds on this pedigree, providing a new level of sophistication, flexibility and ease-of-use. As the product matures and future enhancements are made, this robust analysis tool will continue to provide unsurpassed capabilities for well modeling and optimization.
