The averaging method of flow rate, which shows a work of one average well in group of wells.

Average per-well rate are calculated by formula

(1) <q_i>_1 =\frac{q_i}{N}

where

<q_i>_1

per-well rate

q_i

rate (production or injection)

N

total number of wells (producers or injectors)

i

index, which points to the type of fluid or gas (see table below)


Depending on index, the rate q_i may mean:
