Three-phase Inflow Performance Relationship

3 Phase IPR Curve [1]

3 Phase IPR calculates IPR curve for oil wells producing water.

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

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

0 < Pwf < For PwfG

Oil well IPR equation

  • Darcy's law equation for the single-phase flow of incompressible liquid:
 q = \frac{kh}{141.2 B \mu}\ (\bar{P} - P_{wf}) J_D
  • Vogel's IPR two-phase flow equation (oil + gas) and it's combination with single phase liquid
  • 3 Phase IPR three-phase flow equation (oil + gas + water)

Gas well IPR equation

q_g=\frac{kh}{1422 \times 10^3\ T_R}\ (P_{\bar{P}} - P_{P_{wf}})\ J_D
  • C and n equation
