Inflow performance relationship (IPR) for horizontal wells in solution gas-drive reservoirs (Fetkovich)

Input(s)

\(q_{\text {omax }}\): Maximum Flow Rate for Maximum Drawdown (STB/day)

\(P_{w f}\): Flowing Bottomhole Pressure (psi)

P: Shut in Pressure or Average Reservoir Pressure (psi)

\(\mathrm{n}\): Exponent (dimensionless)

Output(s)

\(q_{o}\): Oil Flow Rate \((\mathrm{STB} /\) day \()\)

Formula(s)

\[ q_{o}=q_{\text {omax }} *\left(1-\left(\frac{P_{w f}}{P}\right)^{2}\right)^{n} \]
