Volume of fluid which passes through wellbore per of fluid passing through a certain area
per unit time: LaTeX Math Inline body A

q_A = \frac{d V_A}{ d t} |
Depending In Petroleum Industry this term depends on context the flowrate and may mean pipeline flowrate or wellbore flowrate which can be measured at wellhead or downhole separator (and called Surface flowrate) or downhole (and called Sandface flowrate).
Volumetric flowrate
is related to mass flowrate LaTeX Math Inline body q_A
and fluid density LaTeX Math Inline body \dot m_A
as: LaTeX Math Inline body \rho
LaTeX Math Block | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|

\dot m_A = \rho \cdot q_A |
