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 (see derivation):
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} |
