Inflow Performance Relationship Overview

This document discusses the inflow performance relationship (IPR) of oil wells. It introduces the IPR and productivity index, and describes common equations used to model the IPR, including the straight line relationship from Darcy's law and models proposed by Vogel and Standing. Vogel's model accounts for reservoir pressure below the bubble point pressure using a dimensionless flow rate and pressure. Standing's model extends Vogel's work to include the effects of skin damage or stimulation on well productivity.

Inflow performance relationship
Introduction
Inflow Performance Relationship (IPR) of a well is the relation between
the production rate and flowing bottom hole pressure. For oil wells, it is
frequently assumed that fluid inflow rate is proportional to the
difference between reservoir pressure and wellbore pressure. This
assumption leads to a straight line relationship that can be derived
from Darcy's law for steady state flow of an incompressible, single
phase fluid and is called the Productivity Index (PI). However, this
assumption is valid only above the bubble point pressure.

Productivity Index (J)
The use of this method involves measurement of the static bottom-hole
pressure and the bottom-hole pressure while the well is flowing at
various rates of production. This measure of the relative ability of a well
to produce is termed its Productivity Index (PI or J).

Vogels Method
Vogel reported the results of a study in which he used a mathematical
reservoir model to calculate the IPR for oil wells producing from
saturated reservoir.
Vogel arrived at the following relationship between dimensionless flow
rate and dimensionless pressure.

for application to damaged or stimulated wells.
