Despite of terminological similarity there is a big difference in the way Dynamic Modelling (DM), Well Flow Performance (WFP) and Well Testing deal with (WT) usually define formation pressure and flowrates which results in a difference in productivity index definition and corresponding analysis.. The most typical definitions (although they do not cover the full variety of definitions referred in petroleum literature) are summarised This difference is summarized in the table below: Flow rateProducivity DMfieldaverage within the 9-cell area {e9}{e9, \ i,j} 9sumphase flowrate at sandface: | LaTeX Math Inline |
