One of the most general form of IPR model below bubble-point pressure:

\Psi^n(p_b) - \Psi^n(p_{wf}) = (q/q_\mathrm{max} - q_b/q_\mathrm{max}) \left[  \frac{1}{(1-q_b/q_\mathrm{max})} \cdot \Psi^n(p_b) +  (1-q/q_\mathrm{max}) \cdot H(q)\right]
H(q) = \frac{\sum_{k=0}^m a_k \, (q/q_\mathrm{max})^k}{\sum_{k=0}^m b_k \, (q/q_\mathrm{max})^k} = 
\frac{a_0 + a_1 \cdot (q/q_\mathrm{max}) + a_2 \cdot (q/q_\mathrm{max})^2 + ... + a_m \cdot (q/q_\mathrm{max})^m}
{b_0 + b_1 \cdot (q/q_\mathrm{max}) + b_2 \cdot (q/q_\mathrm{max})^2 + ... + b_m \cdot (q/q_\mathrm{max})^m}
 p_b > p_r > p_{wf} 


where

bottom-hole pressure (BHP)

bubble-point pressure

sandface flowrate

Absolute Open Flow (AOF) 

pseudo-pressure function specific to fluid type

pseudo-pressure curvature

laminar flow coefficient

turbulent flow coefficient


It needs well tests at least three different rates to assess   but obviously more tests will make assessment more accurate.
