Total produced flowrate of live oil across the well-reservoir contact with the volumes measured at the sandface temperature and pressure conditions.



For the volatile oil fluid model the total sandface flowrate is related to surface flowrates of fluid components as:

q_o = \frac{B_o - R_v B_g}{1 - R_v R_s} \, q_O + \frac{B_g - R_s B_o}{1 - R_v R_s} \, q_G

where

water, oil, gas surface flowrates

formation volume factors between separator and sandface pressure/temperature conditions

Solution GOR and Vaporized oil ratio at sandface pressure/temperature conditions



It simplifies for the Black Oil model to:

q_t =  B_o \, q_O + (B_g - R_s B_o) \, q_G =B_o \, (q_O -R_s q_G) + B_g  \, q_G


and simplifies further down to production from undersaturated reservoir as:

q_t = B_w \, q_W + B_o \, q_O 

and even simpler for single-phase fluid with  surface flow rate  and formation volume factor B:

q_t = q \cdot B
