Three-phase Inflow Performance Relationship

3 Phase IPR Curve [1]

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 (volume factor) at any pressure and temperature is given by[1]:

 VF=WCUT\ B_w + (1-WCUT)\ B_o + (GLR\ - (1-WCUT)R_s - WCUT\ R_{sw})B_g [1]


The total volume of produced fluid rate (liquid plus gas) at any conditions of pressure and temperature:

 V=q_{t_{sc}} \times VF [1]
 q_{t_{sc}} is calculated as usual using:

3 Phase IPR calculation example

Following Brown[1] well #1 example on Figure 5.8, page 191:

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].

The PQplot model from this example is available online by the following link: 3 Phase IPR calculation example
