Three-phase Inflow Performance Relationship

3 Phase IPR Curve ^[1]

3 Phase IPR is an IPR curve calculated on the basis of total barrels of produced fluid, including gas.

3 Phase IPR curve is used in Pump Design software for pump sizing.

Math and Physics

The volume of 1 stb of liquid plus associated gas at any pressure and temperature is given by^[1]:

VF=WCUT\ B_w + (1-WCUT)\ B_o + (GLR\ - (1-WCUT)R_s - WCUT\ R_{sw})B_g

^[1]

The total volume of produced fluid rate (liquid plus gas) at any conditions of pressure and temperature:

V=q_{t_{sc}} \times VF

^[1]

$q_{t_{sc}}$ is calculated as usual using:

Vogel's IPR equation
Composite IPR equation

3 Phase IPR calculation example

Following the well #1 example given by Brown^[1]on Figure 5.8, page 191:
