Suggestions are made as to which issues should be considered in selecting an appropriate model. Validation guides the user through the various simulation tools in PanSystem. Test Design is a sophisticated tool which should always be used to guide users in well test design. This process ensures that the well test will be appropriately designed to meet its objectives and that , for example, will be capable of flowing at the design rates. Other important issues such as ensuring that the resolution of the gauge will be high enough to measure the response anticipated are considered.

Units Systems PanSystem is used in almost every known oil province and with the industry's infamous approach to measurement units, it has had to be equipped with a very sophisticated units conversion and support system. Internally PanSystem operates in oilfield units but a wide range of SI units are provided through the user interface and the user can configure these or oilfield units to create hybrid unit systems to support those in use in their particular application. Documentation Extensive online documentation is available with PanSystem . In the latest version, the manual can be accessed from the Help menu. This accesses a PDF file with the manual set up in a 'screen readable' form.
