Vogel & Flow Efficiency: 2005 #26 (similar)

Vogel problems often involve flow efficiency (FE). Why? They both need Pwf & Pr.

Example: Say Pwf = 1M and Pr = 2M psi at q = 490 BOPD. What is qmax?
Go to the Vogel table (7 PRD 1) with Pwf/Pr = 0.5; note qo/qmax = 0.7.
So qmax = qo/0.7 = 490/0.7 = 700 BOPD.

But what then if FE is 0.7 and we stimulate to an FE = 1? See 12 WLT 2:

Another way to describe FE: the percentage of well fluid producing at a given drawdown compared to what it would produce with zero skin (FE = 1).

So at FE = 1.7M/0.7 = 1,000 BOPD.

  1. If i'm given Initial reservoir, bubble point, current reservoir, and flowing bottom hole (as in 26), can you help me understand what to use?

  2. You need to BP to see it's saturated and thus Vogel applies. After that:
    1. Pwf/Pr = 1,100/2,200 = 0.5
    2. Vogel Chart: 0.7 = qwf/qmax = 420/qmax so qmax = 600 BPD
    3. FE = 600 BPD / 0.7 = 857 BPD.
    Check?

  3. Sorry, i think my question was more around how do i know to use bubble point pressure for Pr? If my current reservoir pressure is under BP, know I need to use that as my new res press?
