Flowrate of a specific fluid component(s) or pseudo-component(s) measured at separator.
Whenever is used the fluid component / pseudo-component for which the surface flowrates is measured should be explicitly specified to avoid confusion, for example:
Property | Symbol | Meaning |
---|---|---|
Oil production rate | q^{\uparrow}_O | Surface flowrate of total production of oil from all produced fluid phases measured at SPE Standard Conditions (STP). |
q^{\uparrow}_G | Surface flowrate of total production of gas from all produced fluid phases measured at SPE Standard Conditions (STP). | |
Water production rate | Surface flowrate of total production of water from all produced fluid phases measured at SPE Standard Conditions (STP). | |
q^{\uparrow}_L | ||
Water injection rate | q^{\downarrow}_{WI} | |
Gas injection rate | q^{\downarrow}_{GI} |
The surface flowrates are also used to calculate the total sandface flowrate at downhole conditions.
