Inflow Performance Relationship

Inflow Performance Relationship Curve

Inflow Performance Relationship is a curve of producing rates plotted against well bottomhole pressures for oil, water and gas wells[1].

IPR curve shows productive capacity and well performance.

IPR curve is used in Well Nodal Analysis for production systems design, analysis and optimization.

Math and Physics

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.
  • Composite IPR curve for oil wells producing water.
  • 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
