constants is more
accurate than Vogel’s
equation IPR
modeling
Where,
IPR model for partial two phase oil
reservoirs
Porosity: φ = 0:19
Effective horizontal permeability: k = 8.2 md
Pay zone thickness: h = 53 ft
Reservoir average pressure: = 5,651 psia
Bubble point pressure: pb =5651 psia
Fluid formation volume factor: Bo= 1.1
Fluid viscosity: µ=1.7 cp
Total compressibility: ct = 0.0000129 psi-1
Drainage area: A =640 acres
re =2,980 ft
Wellbore radius: rw = 0.328 ft
Skin factor: S = 0
Solution:
Steps:
• First calculate productivity index J* .
• Then calculate q max
• Then calculate flowrates for
different bottomhole pressure
Why?
Example 3
• A well tested at a rate of 200 STB/d with a Pwf of
3220pisa. Bubble point pressure measured on
surface recombined fluid samples was 3980
psia,very close to measured Pi = 4000 psia
• Plot the IPR using the Vogel equation.

Well Bore Performance
Learning Objectives
For NRe > 2100 or for turbulent flow use the Chen’s Correlation
Tubing performance relation curve (TPR)
development
Develop the tubing performance relation of this well up to the rate of 24 MMscf/d
Wellbore flow performance for
multiphase flow
Now move horizontally to intersect GLR = 1200 and read vertically the
required intake pressure ~ 1250 psia.
Solution
2. Enter x-axis at 2000 psia, representing tubing intake pressure.
Move vertically down to 1200 scf/STB. Move horizontally to
depth axis. Move up 5000 ft. Move back across to 1200 scf/STB
and vertically upward to read available wellhead pressure of
1000 psia.
