Excel in Production Engineering
Premium Workshop
For PEA Members Only
Most production engineering calculations don't need expensive software — they need Excel used well. This live 2-hour beginner workshop shows you how to build the core tools of well performance analysis directly in a spreadsheet. You'll create working models for inflow performance, nodal analysis, and decline curves from scratch, using nothing but Microsoft Excel — so you understand what's happening under the hood instead of treating commercial software as a black box.
Workshop Objectives
By the end of this workshop, you will be able to:
Build Inflow Performance Relationship (IPR) curves and understand what drives well deliverability
Set up nodal analysis to find a well's operating point and diagnose performance
Run decline curve analysis to forecast production and estimate recoverable reserves
Turn raw well data into clean, decision-ready charts and models in Excel
About the Presenter
Mostafa Keihani is a Production Engineer at Dana Energy, where he has spent the past four years across production engineering and field operations, including work as a Cementing and Stimulation Field Engineer. That mix gives him a practical, field-grounded view of well performance — not just the theory, but how it plays out on real wells.
He holds engineering degrees from Sharif University of Technology and Amirkabir University of Technology, and is the author and co-author of several peer-reviewed publications. His technical focus spans production optimization, enhanced oil recovery, well stimulation, and carbon capture (CCUS). He brings both hands-on field experience and a strong analytical background to this workshop, built for engineers who want to actually use what they learn.

Reservoir Engineering & Well Testing in Excel The Hands-On Bootcamp
This hands-on bootcamp is designed for petroleum engineers who want to move beyond theory and actually build reservoir engineering and well testing models from scratch — in Microsoft Excel. Over two intensive days, participants work through 10 real-world projects covering the full spectrum of reservoir characterisation and well performance analysis. No black boxes, no third-party software — every model is built cell by cell, so you understand exactly what's happening under the hood. Exclusively available to PEA Members.
