The plot of water production rate

LaTeX Math Inline
bodyq_W
(along y-axis) against the oil production rate
LaTeX Math Inline
bodyq_O
 (along x-axis).

It can be used in express water cut diagnostics for express Watercut Diagnostics of thief water production.

The mathematical model of the thief water production from  aquifer is based on the following equation:

...


LaTeX Math Inline
bodyq_W

water production rate

LaTeX Math Inline
bodyq_O

oil production rate

LaTeX Math Inline
body--uriencoded--p%5e*_1

formation pressure in petroleum reservoir

LaTeX Math Inline
body--uriencoded--J_%7B1W%7D

water productivity index of petroleum reservoir

LaTeX Math Inline
body--uriencoded--J_%7B1O%7D

oil productivity index of petroleum reservoir

LaTeX Math Inline
body--uriencoded--p%5e*_2

formation pressure in aquifer

LaTeX Math Inline
body--uriencoded--J_%7B2W%7D

water productivity index of aquifer



For the case of aquifer pressure is higher than that of petroleum reservoir:

LaTeX Math Inline
body--uriencoded--b > 0 \Leftrightarrow p%5e*_2 > p%5e*_1

For the case of aquifer pressure is lower than that of petroleum reservoir:

LaTeX Math Inline
body--uriencoded--b < 0 \Leftrightarrow p%5e*_2 < p%5e*_1
