PetroBench Platform v2.0 — Redesigned rod lift engineering, now live.See what's new

Product Update v2.0

Introducing PetroBench Platform v2.0

PetroBench V2 is a complete rebuild, designed for how modern engineering organizations actually operate. Whether your team is ten engineers in one office or hundreds spread across divisions and regions around the world. One platform, one source of truth for every well, every simulation, and every rod string design across your entire company.

Existing accounts and all simulation data have been migrated automatically. New organizations can request access through our team.

Product Update

Why We Built V2

Rod lift engineering hasn't changed much in decades, but the organizations that do it have. Global teams, thousands of wells, and the need for real visibility into what engineers are doing and why. The tools most teams rely on were never built for this.

V2 is a ground-up rebuild designed for how modern engineering organizations actually operate - with enterprise structures, global unit and language support, and the governance large operators require. Not a desktop app on one person's laptop. One platform, one source of truth for every well, every simulation, and every rod string design across your entire company.

Redesigned From the Ground Up

Every screen has been rebuilt for clarity and speed. Navigation is streamlined, simulation setup requires fewer clicks, and results are easier to read. The admin console has a new structure that gives managers and administrators better visibility across their organization. Engineers spend less time navigating and more time engineering.

Global Unit Systems

The platform supports metric, imperial, and international unit systems with per-user preferences. An engineer in Houston sees feet and psi while their counterpart in Abu Dhabi sees meters and kPa, all on the same simulation. Unit preferences are saved per user and applied consistently across wells, simulations, and reports.

Multi-Language Support

The entire interface is available in multiple languages including English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Arabic, Russian, and more. Full right-to-left support for Arabic. Region-specific date formats, number formatting, and localized UI elements. Every engineer works in a familiar environment regardless of where they are in the world.

Version Control on Every Simulation

Every change to a simulation design is automatically versioned. Restore any previous state, compare versions side by side, and see exactly who changed what and when. No more overwriting a colleague's work or losing a configuration that performed better three iterations ago.

Improved Simulation Comparisons

Compare up to five rod pump configurations side by side in a single view. Every simulation run is tracked with full simulation logs so you can review exactly what inputs produced what outputs and trace changes over time. Detailed comparison reports can be exported as professional PDFs for clients and management.

Improved 3D Wellbore Visualization

Import directional surveys and visualize wellbore trajectories in interactive 3D with detailed tooltips and measurements. Dogleg severity, buckling tendency, and side loading charts alongside the 3D view give engineers a complete picture of wellbore conditions.

Improved PDF Reporting

Redesigned report templates with cleaner layouts and more detail. Simulation results, rod string analysis, and comparison summaries export as professional PDFs ready for clients, management, and regulatory submissions.

Improved Custom Pumping Units & Rods

Redesigned equipment management with better search, filtering, and organization. Create and manage custom pumping units and rod configurations alongside the standard library. Equipment catalogs are maintained at the division level and inherited by regions so your team always has the right tools available.

Enterprise Organization Structure

Built for operators with complex org charts. Headquarters set global standards and equipment libraries. Divisions customize templates for their basins. Regions inherit those defaults while maintaining local autonomy. Groups scope access at the team level.

Roles, Permissions & Audit Trail

Granular role-based access control at every organizational level. Define who can manage your organization, who can create and modify simulations, and who has read-only access. SSO integration with Azure AD and Okta supports SCIM provisioning for automated user lifecycle management. Every action is logged with compliance-ready audit trails.

Bulk Import Legacy Simulation Files

Bring existing work into V2 without starting over. Bulk import SROD and RODSTAR files directly into the platform. All historical simulation data, rod string configurations, and well parameters are preserved and ready to use in the new system.

Data Integrations & Automation

Connect PetroBench directly to your data infrastructure. Bi-directional synchronization with Snowflake, Databricks, WellView, and custom data lakes. Automation pipelines push simulation results back into production databases and SCADA systems automatically.

Built-in Onboarding Tours & Documentation

New team members get up to speed fast with interactive guided tours that walk through every major workflow. Complete documentation is accessible directly from the platform with step-by-step guides for every feature.

What's Coming Next

V2 is the foundation. Here is what we are actively working on:

  • Email notifications when simulations complete, when someone modifies a well, or when a review is requested
  • Simulation templates to save rod string configurations as reusable templates shared across teams
  • In-app comments & mentions to communicate directly on wells and simulations without leaving the platform
  • Real-time collaboration with multiple engineers working on the same simulation simultaneously
  • Internal & external sharing of wells and simulations with contractors, consultants, and partners
  • Review & approval workflows for structured oversight before designs go to the field
