\frac{q}{q_{max}} = 1 -\frac{p_{wf}}{p_R}

where

bodyq_{max} = J \, p_R
 – is the maximum flow rate which si also called AOF – Absolute Open Flow.

For gas producers, the fluid compressibility is high and formation flow is essentially non-linear, inflicting the downward trend on the whole WFP – Well Flow Performance plot (Fig. 2).
