Production Potential is the maximum rate that can be delivered by Well, Pattern, Block or Reservoir.

The Darcy's law can be written as:

Q = T \times \Delta P \times J_D

where:

Q

is the oil or gas production rate,

T

is the Reservoir transmissibility and is given by the Mother Nature,

\Delta P

is the Lift System Drawdawn which is set by the operational engineering practices^[1],

J_D

is the Completion System dimensionless productivity index which is set by the design engineering practices^[1].

The rate $Q$ is maximum then $\Delta P$ and $J_D$ are maximized.
