Flowrate of a given fluid component or pseudo-component 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:
Expression | Symbol | Meaning |
---|---|---|
Oil production rate | Separator measurement of total production of oil from all produced fluid phases | |
Gas production rate | Separator measurement of total production of gas from all produced fluid phases | |
Water production rate | Separator measurement of total production of water from all produced fluid phases | |
Liquid production rate | ||
Water injection rate | Separator measurement of total water injection | |
Gas injection rate | Separator measurement of total gas injection |
The surface flowrates are also used to calculate the total sandface flowrate at downhole conditions.
