Usually abbreviated as 

LaTeX Math Inline
bodyq_t
 or
LaTeX Math Inline
bodyqB
 (with the latter does not imply a product) or specifically
LaTeX Math Inline
body--uriencoded--q%5e%7B\uparrow%7D_t
 for production and 
LaTeX Math Inline
body--uriencoded--q%5e%7B\downarrow%7D_t
 for injection.

The concept applies both to producing and injecting wells.

For volatile oil fluid model the total sandface flowrate is related to surface flowrates of fluid components as:

LaTeX Math Block
anchorqt_VO
alignmentleft
q^{\uparrow}_t = q^{\uparrow}_w + q^{\uparrow}_o + q^{\uparrow}_g = B_w \, q^{\uparrow}_W + (B_o - R_s \, B_g) \, q^{\uparrow}_O + (B_g - R_v \, B_o) \, q^{\uparrow}_G
LaTeX Math Block

alignmentleft
q^{\downarrow}_t = q^{\downarrow}_w + q^{\downarrow}_g = B_w \, q^{\downarrow}_W + B_g \, q^{\downarrow}_G

Solution GOR and Vaporized oil ratio at sandface pressure/temperature conditions


The total sandface flowrate 

LaTeX Math Inline
body--uriencoded--q%5e%7B\uparrow%7D_t
 of production is It is related to Liquid production rate 
LaTeX Math Inline
bodyq--uriencoded--q%5e%7B\uparrow%7D_L
as:

LaTeX Math Block
anchorqt
alignmentleft
q^{\uparrow}_t = \Big[ B_w Y_W + \Big( \, (B_o - R_s B_g) +  Y_G \cdot (B_g - R_v B_o) \,  \Big) \cdot (1-Y_W) \Big] \cdot q^{\uparrow}_L

...

and even simpler for single-phase fluid (water, dead oil or dry gas) with  surface flow rate

LaTeX Math Inline
bodyq--uriencoded--q%5e%7B\uparrow%7D
 and formation volume factor B as below:

LaTeX Math Block
