One of the most general form of IPR model below bubble-point pressure:

LaTeX Math Block

\Psi^n(p_b) - \Psi^n(p_{wf}) = (q/q_\mathrm{max} - q_b/q_\mathrm{max}) \left[  \frac{1}{(1-q_b/q_\mathrm{max})} \cdot \Psi^n(p_b) +  (1-q/q_\mathrm{max}) \cdot H(q)\right]
LaTeX Math Block

alignmentleft
H(q) = \frac{\sum_{k=0}^m a_k \, (q/q_\mathrm{max})^k}{\sum_{k=0}^m} b_k \, (q/q_\mathrm{max})^k} = 
\frac{a_0 + a_1 \cdot (q/q_\mathrm{max}) + a_2 \cdot (q/q_\mathrm{max})^2 + ... + a_m \cdot (q/q_\mathrm{max})^m}
{b_0 + b_1 \cdot (q/q_\mathrm{max}) + b_2 \cdot (q/q_\mathrm{max})^2 + ... + b_m \cdot (q/q_\mathrm{max})^m}

It needs well tests at least three different rates to assess

 but obviously more tests will make assessment more accurate.
