It is related to Total sandface flowrate  as:

q_L = frac{q_t}{} B_w Y_w +[ (B_o - R_s B_g] + B_g (GOR-R_s)] (1-Y_w)

water, oil and gas sandface flowrates

water, crude oil and natural gas surface flowrates

formation volume factors between separator and sandface pressure/temperature conditions

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


Production Water Cut

Production Gas-Oil-Ratio



Starting with definition of Total sandface flowrate  and substituting the expression of Oil surface flowrateGas surface flowrateWater surface flowrate through Liquid production rate one arrives to .
