Vogel's Inflow Performance Relationship

Vogel's IPR[1]

Vogel's IPR is an empirical two-phase (oil + gas) inflow performance relationship correlation published in 1968 [1].

Vogel's IPR is based on computer simulations to several solution gas drive reservoirs for different fluid and reservoir relative permeability properties.

Vogel's IPR is the default IPR correlation to calculate oil wells performance in the PQplot nodal analysis software which is available online at petroleum engineering site www.pengtools.com.

Math and Physics

Vogel's IPR equation

\frac{q_o}{q_{o_{max}}} = 1-0.2 \frac{P_{wf}}{\bar{P}} - 0.8 \left ( \frac{P_{wf}}{\bar{P}} \right )^2

Single phase liquid and Vogel's IPR

Combination Constant PI Darcy's law and Vogel's IPR[2]

Combination Constant PI and Vogel's IPR

q_{ob} = J (\bar{P} - P_b)
q_{o_{max}} = q_{ob} + \frac{J P_b}{1.8} [3]
q_o = q_{ob} + (q_{o_{max}} - q_{ob}) \left (1-0.2 \frac{P_{wf}}{\bar{P}} - 0.8 \left ( \frac{P_{wf}}{\bar{P}} \right )^2 \right )
J = \frac{q_o}{\bar{P}-P_b + \frac{P-b}{1.8} \left (1-0.2 \frac{P_{wf}}{\bar{P}} - 0.8 \left ( \frac{P_{wf}}{\bar{P}} \right )^2 \right ) }

Why Vogel's IPR?

Vogel's IPR solution has been found to be very good and is widely used in prediction of IPR curves.
