Three-phase Inflow Performance Relationship
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]:
The total volume of produced fluid rate (liquid plus gas) at any conditions of pressure and temperature:
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:
Given:
= 2550 psi
= 2100 psi
Test data:
= 2300 psi
= 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].
The PQplot model from this example is available online by the following link: 3 Phase IPR calculation example
