Volumetric flowrate of mostly degasified oil normally measured at separator or at processing plant.
Usually produced from subsurface oil phase and gas phase.
It usually requires additional processing before taking commercial form of the Crude Oil.
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
The oil surface flowrate relates to Surface Liquid production rate :

q_O = (1-Y_W) \cdot q_L |
The oil surface flowrate r relates to Total sandface flowrate as:
LaTeX Math Block |
---|

q_O = \frac{1-Y_W}{B_w Y_W + \left[ (B_o - R_s B_g) + (B_g - R_v B_o) \, Y_G \right] \cdot (1-Y_W)} \cdot q_t |
It simplifies for the Black Oil model (
) to:

q_O = \frac{q_o}{B_o} =(1-Y_W) \cdot q_L = \frac{1-Y_W}{B_w Y_W + \left[ (B_o - R_s B_g) + B_g \, Y_G \right] \cdot (1-Y_W)} \cdot q_t |
