Take advantage of The Learning Center by S&P Global Energy, 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™ software from S&P Global Energy 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.

Virtual Instructor-Led Training (VIL-T) Program Description
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:
- PDF copy of course manual
- Piper Exercise files to use for self-paced work
- Virtual networking with fellow attendees
- Opportunities to participate in live Q&A with instructors
