Amount of fluid mass passing through a certain area A per unit time:
(1) | \dot m_A = \frac{d m}{ d t} \Big|_A = j_m \cdot A |
where
j_m | mass flux |
Mass flowrate is related to volumetric flowrate
q_A and fluid density
\rho_A as:
(2) | \dot m_A = \rho_A \cdot q_A |
In case of Volatile Oil Reservoir the connection with surface flowrates will be:
