Excel in Production Engineering
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.
