I used to do that back in the 70's and 80's. Working for Sperry Sun (now defunct and part of Halliburton), I and my team wrote very low level code to do borehole surveying and pressure well analysis. It was great fun at the time, but oh, how we could have done with more powerful processors.

During the early 80's (82 if I remember), we got hold of Lotus 1-2-3 and I was able to model it all using that (and one of my team designed a special interface to extratct the raw data to a PC) - a revolution for the well head engineers.
