Three-phase Inflow Performance Relationship

3 Phase IPR Curve [1]

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:

q_t =J (P_r - P_{wf}) [1]

For PwfG < Pwf < Pb

For pressures between the bubble point pressure and the flowing bottom-hole pressures:

q_t =\frac{-C+\sqrt{C^2-4B^2D}}{2B^2}\ for B \ne 0[1]
q_t =D/C\ for B = 0[1]

where:

A=\frac{P_{wf}+0.125F_oP_b-F_wP_r}{0.125F_oP_b}[1]
B=\frac{F_w}{0.125F_oP_bJ}[1]
C=2AB+\frac{80}{q_{o_{max}}-q_b}[1]
D=A^2-80\frac{q_b}{q_{o_{max}}-q_b}-81[1]

For 0 < Pwf < PwfG

q_t =\frac{P_{wfG}+q_{o_{max}}tan(\beta)-P_{wf}}{tan(\beta)}[1]

where:

tan(\beta) = CD/CG [1]
CD = F_w\frac{0.001q_{o_{max}}}{J}+F_o0.125P_b \left ( -1+\sqrt{81-80 \frac{0.999q_{o_{max}}-q_b}{q_{o_{max}}-q_b}} \right)[1]
CG = 0.001 q_{o_{max}}[1]

And

P_{wfG}=F_w \left ( P_r - \frac{q_{o_{max}}}{J}\right )[1]
q_{o_{max}}=q_b+\frac{JP_b}{1.8}[1]

3 Phase IPR calculation example

Following the example problem #21, page 33 [1]:

Given:

P_r = 2550 psi
P_b = 2100 psi

Test data:

P_{wf} = 2300 psi
q_t = 500 b/d

Calculate:

Determine the 3 Phase IPR curves for Fw=0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, and 1.

Solution:

The problem was run through PQplot software for different values of watercut.

Result 3 Phase IPR curves are shown on Fig.1. Points indicate results obtained by Brown [1].
