Volumetric flowrate of dead oil measured at separator


Usually produced from subsurface oil phase and gas phase


For volatile oil fluid model the oil surface flowrate  is related to oil sandface flowrate  and gas sandface flowrate  as:

q_O =(1-R_v \, R_s)^{-1} \left( \frac{q_o}{B_o} +\frac{R_v \, q_g}{B_g} \right) 

where

oil formation volume factor between separator and sandface pressure/temperature conditions

Vaporized Oil Ratio at sandface pressure/temperature conditions


It simplifies for the Black Oil model to:

q_O = \frac{q_o}{B_o}
