IT Dependencies & Downloads

Download our New V3.1.19.msi

The following items need to be installed manually if users install PHDwin from the .msi installer. The .msi installer cannot check for or automatically install these items.

Earlier versions of SQL (2016 or later) and the C++ redistributable (2015 or later) are fine. Only the .NET Framework 4.8.1 is actually new to build 3.1.13, so existing V3 users will only have to install that.

Comprehensive release notes for May 2026

New Features

Variance Major Phase (%):

This is a new measure of the quality of the projection’s fit; it shows the absolute percentage difference between the projection cumulative volume and the historical cumulative production for the overlap period. It can be found in sort, filter, graph titles, and a new “History & Projection Variance” Report

Virtual Handles for graphs

This highly requested feature allows users to interact with the handles on projections, even when the projection continues out of the graph. Handles out of graph focus will show as empty squares instead of filled out squares.

Monthly Volume Export Report​

Another highly requested feature, this report will export out monthly volumes of both history and projected OGW directly to excel.

Auto add qualifier to primary by dragging to scenario​

A pain point for many users that work with scenarios frequently was that it was too much work to click and drag qualifiers for each qualifier type. You can now drag and drop a qualifier directly on the scenario to add the qualifier as primary to all types at once.

Auto update of sort tokens​

Previously, changes made and saved in cases GUI (as opposed to grid or global edit) were not updated until the case list was refreshed or a report was run. Relevant sort tokens should now automatically update on the case list as soon as the changes are saved.

Third party integrations​

We are excited to introduce a new feature that will allow us to integrate third-party tools and software. More information will be available for this feature in the future.

General Improvements and Bug Fixes

Case memos​

There was a GUI refresh issue that prevented deletion of case memos after initial save that has been fixed.

Case list​

Duplicated cases were not automatically becoming the new active case on the case list; it should correctly display the duplicated cases’ data as the active case.

Eco Engine​

Related bug fix and improvement:

  • Corrected potential PW profile mismatches caused by group case and child case’s linked date interaction.
  • The default time-out of 5 seconds was being exceed by some slower machines. It has been increased to 10 seconds to account for the slower setups.
  • Improved exception handling of circular references and corner cases.

Global Editor​

Related bug fix and improvement:

  • You will now be able to choose a selected static variable or all for clear static variable.
  • Fixed an issue where case specific energy factor was overwritten by default 1000 when applying a new $/MMBTU gas price model.
  • Curve fit – ARPS should now apply to products with formula history.
  • Fixed refresh issue with Y-axis auto scale not scaling correctly for certain setups.
  • Apply fiscal model will now correctly skip over norm curve cases and process all other cases in the selection instead of ignoring them.

Graphs

Related bug fix and improvement:

  • Right click to edit text on graph notes was fixed to save changes made
  • Fixed issue where after Copying alternate projection qualifier, editing the projection before saving caused case save error.
  • Applying a graph model that includes a cash formula product will no longer cause an exception.
  • Color and line style changes for daily data were not being applied correctly.
  • If a case is non-economic and “Truncate at ECL” is enabled, the segment will now truncate at the earlier of eco start and report date.

Grid Editor

Related bug fix and improvement:

  • Fixed issue where changes were made to alternate qualifier when primary qualifier was blank.
  • Static variables on grid editor will now only show the case level static variables of the currently applied fiscal model.
  • Recompletion and incremental cases no longer automatically add “INCR” and “RCMP” to case name when edited.
  • “insert row below” issues fixed for multiple grid editor pages.

Group Cases

Related bug fix and improvement:

  • Waterflood projection unit now allow right click “select all children cases” as expected.
  • Sumplot and norm curves no longer have their volumes excluded, as it is by default marked as “do not report this case”, and volume numbers are needed for sort and graph title token cum and EUR values.

GUI

Related bug fix and improvement:

  • Fixed rare occurrence of status bar showing previous database if you were on a linked incremental case when you switched to an empty database
  • Navigating the scenario settings window with the arrow key causing a crash has been fixed.
  • Streams already used will now be greyed out on the add button for prices/expense form.
  • Third party integration has been added with v3 connect in this build.
  • Products configuration window should display full list of products as expected

Import

Related bug fix and improvement:

  • Fixed issue where after Importing and applying gas price model from .mod file, global editor wouldn’t apply energy factor model
  • Improved ARIES import experience with fixes to lookup table, investment, expense, ownership, and projection data.
  • Fixed issue where dragging mapping tokens out of order was importing monthly production incorrectly
  • Importing product test with decimal numbers will now bring in all columns as expected

Incremental

Related bug fix and improvement:

  • Incremental cut offs should now properly be honored when linked back to base case
  • When creating an incremental economic group case using right click, the forecast, monthly, daily, and test production should not be linked to the base case
  • When creating an incremental of a standard case using right click, the forecast should not be linked to the base case

Merge

Related bug fix and improvement:

  • Allocation subcategory exclusion should now be included in merge as expected
  • Report exclusion selection should now be included in merge as expected

Project Manager

Now allows copy paste of a column from excel to manage offset for large amount of prospect cases.

Prospect Case Creator​

Had an issue where the labeling of the success and dry holes in the case list was swapped when half or more of success cases were dry holes. It will now also follow the fiscal model of the success case.

Reports

Fixed issues with eco excel export when on multi-scenario run. Discrepancies between graphs and graph reports were also addressed.

Scenario Manager

You can now drag and drop a qualifier directly on the scenario to add the qualifier as primary to all types at once.

Changes to Reporting

New Report Features

Note: there was a GUI refresh issue that prevented deletion of case memos after initial save that has been fixed.

History & Projection Variance Report is new in V3.1.19

This report offers a monthly view of the historical volume, projected volume, historical cum, and variance where history and projection overlap for Oil and Gas. The variance has a checkbox to trigger whether to display the variance in volume or percentage. This works in line with the variance shown in sort token and graph titles.

Monthly Volume Export is new in V3.1.19

This report offers a monthly view of the historical and projected production for Oil, Gas, Water, and NGL. While the grid editor – monthly production export can be used to similar effect, there were limitations based on number of rows. This report will allow users to easily export out production to excel.
