IPR Analysis: Vogel & Fetkovich Methods

This document discusses inflow performance relationships (IPRs) and methods for calculating IPRs, including Vogel's and Fetkovich's methods. It addresses IPRs for single-phase, two-phase, and partial two-phase reservoirs. Vogel's method models IPRs below the bubble point pressure by accounting for effects of relative permeability and viscosity. Fetkovich's method provides a more accurate IPR equation than Vogel's. The document provides examples of using each method to calculate productivity indices and reservoir flow rates. It concludes with an announcement of an upcoming quiz and lab activities on these IPR topics.

Below the bubble-point pressure, the solution gas escapes from the oil and become free gas.
The free gas occupies some portion of the pore space, which reduces flow of oil. This effect
is quantified by the reduced relative permeability.
Also, oil viscosity increases as its solution gas content drops.
The combination of the relative permeability effect and the viscosity effect results in lower
oil production rate at a given bottom-hole pressure.
This makes the IPR curve deviating from the linear trend below bubble-point pressure.
If the reservoir pressure is below the initial bubble-point pressure, oil and gas two-phase
flow exists in the whole reservoir domain and the reservoir is referred as a ‘‘two-phase
reservoir.’’

Reservoirs
If the reservoir pressure is above the bubble-point pressure
and the flowing bottom-hole pressure is below the bubble-
point pressure, a generalized IPR model can be formulated
for partial two-phase reservoirs.
This can be done by combining the straight-line IPR model
for single-phase flow with Vogel’s IPR model for two-phase
flow.
