Maximum flow rate (Vogel's equation)
Input(s)
q: Tested Production Rate (stb/d)
P: Reservoir Pressure (psi)
\(\boldsymbol{P}_{\boldsymbol{w}}\): Tested Flowing Bottom Hole Pressure (psi)
Output(s)
\(\boldsymbol{q}_{\max }\): Maximum Flow Rate \((\mathrm{stb} / \mathrm{d})\)
Formula(s)
\[
\mathrm{q}_{\max }=\frac{\mathrm{q}}{1-0.2 *\left(\frac{\mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{w}}}{\mathrm{P}}\right)-0.8 *\left(\frac{\mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{w}}}{\mathrm{P}}\right)^{2}}
\]
