Volumetric flowrate of the fluid phase across the well-reservoir contact


In most popular practical case of a 3-phase fluid model this will be:

Oil sandface flowrate

q_o

Gas sandface flowrate

q_g

Water sandface flowrate

q_w

Total sandface flowrate

q_t


In case of Volatile Oil Reservoir the connection with surface flowrates and mass flowrates will be:

(1) q_o = \frac{ B_o \cdot ( q_O - R_v \, q_G) }{1- R_s \, R_v}
(2) q_O = \frac{m_O}{\rho_O}
(3) q_g = \frac{ B_g \cdot ( q_G - R_s \, q_O)}{1- R_s \, R_v}
(4) q_G = \frac{m_G}{\rho_G}
(5) q_w = B_w \cdot q_W
(6) q_W = \frac{m_W}{\rho_W}
(7) q_t = q_o + q_g + q_w
(8) q_t = B_o \cdot ( q_O - R_v \, q_G) + B_g \cdot ( q_G - R_s \, q_O) + B_w \cdot q_W
(9) q_t = \frac{B_o - B_g \, R_s}{\rho_O} \cdot \dot m_O + \frac{B_g - B_o \, R_v}{\rho_G} \cdot \dot m_G + \frac{B_w}{\rho_W} \cdot \dot m_W
(10) \rho_t = (\dot m_O + \dot m_G + \dot m_G)/q_t
