Volumetric flowrate of dry gas measured at separatorSPE Standard Conditions (STP).

Usually produced from subsurface gas phase and oil phase .

It usually requires additional processing before taking commercial form of the Natural Gas.

For MBO fluid @modelFor volatile oil fluid model the gas surface flowrate 

LaTeX Math Inline
bodyq_G
 is related to gas sandface flowrate 
LaTeX Math Inline
bodyq_g
  and oil sandface flowrate 
LaTeX Math Inline
bodyq_o
 as (see derivation):

q_G =(1-R_v \, R_s)^{-1} \left( \frac{q_g}{B_g} +\frac{ R_s \, \frac{q_o}{B_o} \right)
