Volume of fluid mass passing through a certain area AA per unit time:
q = \frac{d V}{ d t} |
| SI unit | Metric unit | Oilfield units |
|---|---|---|
| m3/s | cmd = m3/d | bpd |
In Petroleum Industry this term depends on context and may mean pipeline flowrate or wellbore flowrate which can be measured at separator (and called Surface flowrates) or downhole (and called Sandface flowrates).
