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.
