Specification of DFM dynamic inputs and outputs at well  level:

Excerpt




The pressure control is a usual condition for water injectors and gas injectors and specified by the THP maintained by the ground booster pump.

In this case a reservoir takes as much fluid as it can depending on quality of well-reservoir contact and reservoir capacity and reservoir transmissibility around a given injector.

Sometimes the pressure control becomes effective in Sometimes producing wells produce at nearly constant bottomhole pressure, when bottomhole pressure it is being reduced by the downhole pump to its minimal value

LaTeX Math Inline
bodyp_{wf} = p_{wf, {\rm min}} = \rm const
, specified by the pump location inside the wellbore.

In this case the liquid rate is declining 

LaTeX Math Inline
bodyq^{\uparrow}_L(t) < q^{\uparrow}_{LL}

This does not actually qualifies this production as Pressure Control and the well is still under Liquid Control conditions and once bottomhole pressure raises above minimal the pump returns to producing the target liquid rate 

LaTeX Math Inline
bodyq^{\uparrow}_L(t) = q^{\uparrow}_{LL} = \rm const
.
