Three-phase Inflow Performance Relationship
3 Phase IPR calculates IPR curve for oil wells producing water at various watercuts.
3 Phase IPR equation was derived by Petrobras based on combination of Vogel's IPR equation for oil flow and constant productivity for water flow [1].
3 Phase IPR curve is determined geometrically from those equations considering the fractional flow of oil and water [1].
Math and Physics
Total flow rate equations:
For Pb < Pwf < Pr
For pressures between reservoir pressure and bubble point pressure:
For PwfG < Pwf < Pb
For pressures between the bubble point pressure and the flowing bottom-hole pressures:
where:
For 0 < Pwf < PwfG
where:
And
