Piper Learning and Training

Take advantage of The Learning Center by S&P Global, a premier learning portal where you have full access to Virtual Instructor-led Training (V-ILT), training videos, and other knowledge resources to maximize your Piper subscription.

Piper^TM software from S&P Global allows you to plan and optimize gas gathering systems from the reservoir to the delivery point.

Designed for engineers and technologists, Piper training provides instruction on how to quickly model existing or future gathering systems by defining wellbores, compression, pump capacity, pipeline configuration and deliverability in a map-based environment. Optimize production by identifying bottlenecks, data inconsistencies, liquid loading, and uplift potential. Run multiple scenarios to determine the effects of infill drilling, compression, and pipeline capacity on economic forecasts.

Key benefits:

Build integrated asset models for optimal management and accurate forecasts
Forecast gas and gas liquid production from wellhead or sandface
Diagnose bottlenecks, high-pressure areas, and wells with untapped potential
Model and manage operating and capital costs
Assess impact of gathering system changes on deliverability
Evaluate individual well/complete well system value
Earn professional development credits

Virtual Instructor-led Training (V-ILT) programs:

S&P Global’s learning and training courses are offered with flexibility in mind, including self-guided and instructor-led online courses to best fit any education needs. This multi-faceted approach allows your organization the flexibility necessary to obtain a critical understanding of current gathering system challenges and optimization opportunities – without the inconvenience of travel. This is especially important during times of uncertainty, social distancing requirements or other factors that may impact training or travel abilities.

We've built virtual instructor-led training (V-ILT) courses that are intended to provide software instruction and assistance in place of our in-person training classes.

The online offering is still a live, instructor led course; students will spend their time with the instructor covering various topics and have an opportunity to ask questions following the lecture.

Participants of V-ILT courses can expect to receive:
