Effect of Altered Permeability 2
IPR
• The flow of oil, gas and water from the
reservoir is characterized by the Inflow
Performance relationship.
– IPR is a measure of “Pressure losses” in the
formation.
• The functional relationship between flow rate
and bottomhole pressure is called IPR.
– Indicator of well performance.

Solution
• Another method of doubling the well’s rate would be
to double the Productivity Index to a value of 0.1122
STB/psi.
• We would do this by decreasing the skin factor by
stimulating the well.
• To determine the new skin factor

equally to the flow.

Notes
• With all else equal, asymmetric well-reservoir
configurations have lower PI and flow rate
compared with a symmetric well-reservoir
configuration
• For pseudosteady state flow with constant
well flowing pressure, average reservoir
pressure and flow rate decline continuously
due to depletion.
• For single phase flow, PI does not change
with changes in changes in flow rate and
average reservoir pressure due to depletion.

Absolute Open Flow Potential
• AOF – For a given well-reservoir pair and average
reservoir pressure, AOF is the maximum theoretical
flow rate that the well can provide.

IPR for non-Darcy Gas Flow
• At high flow rates, Darcy’s Law is not valid.
• There are many high flow rate gas wells where
Darcy’s law is not obeyed in the near-wellbore region
(i.e., where gas velocities are greatest).
• The observed pressure drop exhibits a rate-
dependent skin effect

• st denotes the total apparent skin factor, and D is a
non-Darcy coefficient.

Multiphase IPR
• IPR under multiphase flow conditions cannot
be easily calculated.
• The most accurate method is by solving the
equations governing the flow in the porous
media through a reservoir simulator.
• The IPR is so important to Production
Engineers that simplified or empirical
methods to estimate it are necessary.
• The most common correlations are Vogel and
Fetkovich
33
Vogel IPR
• Vogel used a numerical reservoir simulator to
generate the IPR. He studied several cases
for a specific condition:
– Mechanism of production – Solution Gas Drive
– No water production
– Reservoir pressure below bubble point –
Saturated conditions
• He changed several other conditions such as
fluid and rock properties

Vogel IPR
• Vogel IPR can be obtained from well tests.
• Although the method was developed for
solution gas drive reservoirs, the equation is
generally accepted for other drive
mechanisms as well.
• It is found to give excellent results for any well
with a reservoir pressure below the oil bubble
point, i.e., saturated reservoirs.

Development of Vogel IPR

Vogel Method- non Zero Skin Factor
(Standing Modification)
The method for generating an IPR presented by Vogel did not
consider an absolute permeability change in the reservoir.
Standing proposed a procedure to modify Vogel's method
to account for either damage or stimulation around the
wellbore.
The degree of permeability alteration can be expressed in
terms of a Productivity Ratio PR or Flow Efficiency FE, where:

Undersaturated Reservoirs with FE ≠ 1 :
Standing's modification of Vogel's method to be
used when the flow efficiency is not equal to one
may also be applied to undersaturated reservoirs.
