IPR (Fetkovich) Package

This package features scripts to calculate a well's inflow performance relationship (IPR) curve. The used methodology is based on [1].

Usage

Run the workflows from this package to perform the calculations. The schedules may be adapted to use different contexts.

Details

Back-Pressure Curve

The exponent and coefficient of a well's back-pressure curve are calculated from data of isochronal or flow after flow multipoint back-pressure tests. Furthermore a well's absolute open flow potential (oil) is calculated.

Inflow Performance Relationship

Here a well's IPR curve is calculated using the parameters calculated in the script Back-Pressure Curve.

Data Requirements

The following data is required on well level:
 reservoir pressure

 data of isochronal or flow after flow multipoint back-pressure tests:

reservoir pressure
well test oil production rate
well test bottomhole pressure
