Cumulative production of all reservoir fluids to the surface from the beginning of production  t_0 until current moment of time  t adjusted to reservoir conditions:

(1) Q^{\uparrow}_t(t)=\int_{t_0}^t q^{\uparrow}_t(\tau) d\tau

where

q^{\uparrow}_t(\tau)

instantaneous offtakes at time moment \tau


For the volatile oil fluid model the cumulative offtakes is related to surface flowrates history of fluid components as:

(2) Q^{\uparrow}_t(t) = \int_{t_0}^t \left[ B_w \, q^{\uparrow}_W + \frac{B_o - R_v B_g}{1 - R_v R_s} \, q^{\uparrow}_O + \frac{B_g - R_s B_o}{1 - R_v R_s} \, q^{\uparrow}_G \right] d\tau

where

q^{\uparrow}_W(\tau), \, q^{\uparrow}_O(\tau), \, q^{\uparrow}_G(\tau)

water, oil, gas surface flowrates at time moment \tau

p_e(\tau), T_e(\tau)

formation pressure and formation temperature at time moment \tau

B_w(p_e, T_e), \, B_o(p_e, T_e), \, B_g(p_e, T_e)

formation volume factors between separator and sandface pressure/temperature conditions

R_s(p_e, T_e), \, R_v(p_e,T_e)

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


The difference between cumulative offtakes and cumulative production is that cumulative offtakes recalculates produced surface volumes to sandface conditions and accounts for the shrinkage factors and cross-phase exchange coefficients dependence on formation pressure  p_e(t) and formation temperature  T_e(\tau) which may vary over time:

Cumulative offtakes

(no reference to the fluid)

Cumulative production

(no reference to the fluid)

Q^{\uparrow}_{\rm off} = \int_0^t B(p_e(\tau), T_e(\tau)) q^{\uparrow}(\tau) d\tau

Q^{\uparrow}_p = \int_0^t q^{\uparrow}(\tau) d\tau
