● Brief Information: Vogel's

dimensionless IPR curve is commonly
used to forecast the performance of oil
wells in terms of inflow

accurate estimate of a well's inflow
performance when utilizing Vogel's
method. Secondly, predict the future of
inflow performance of oil wells by
evaluating a method

Determination of Drainage Area and Shape Factor of Vertical Wells
in Naturally Fracture Reservoir with Help Well testing and
Developed IPR Curve

● Brief Information:. In all pressure

and fluidity circumstances, this study
shows how to calculate the form factor
and drainage area of wells in
carbonated and naturally fractured
reservoirs.

● Article’s Objective: Discover an

accurate estimate of a well's inflow
performance when utilizing Vogel's
method. Secondly, predict the future of
inflow performance of oil wells by
evaluating a method
 MINI CONCLUSION

● Article 1: This paper points out additional errors that may occur when using Vogel's dimensionless IPR
curve to predict the inflow performance of an oil well. It demonstrates how the careful selection of the
flowing bottom-hole pressure and resultant single stabilized flow rate will result in more accurate IPR
curve prediction. A new, simple approach for predicting future IPR curves is also presented.

● Article 2: A simple production method called Inflow Performance Ratio (IPR) developed a well test
method to determine the drainage area and related form factor of the production well in the reservoir.
Various approaches are proposed methods based on solving mathematical equations of fluid flow in
conventional reservoirs, namely MDH (Miller, Days and Hutchinson), MBH (Miller, Days and
Hutchinson) and Dietz approaches

FORMULA
The equations and different
quantities will be introduced in this
section
 BRIEF INFORMATION

CHAIN FORMULA
Qo / Qomax = 1 – 0.2 ( Pwf / Pr ) – 0.8 ( Pwf / Pr )

IPR CURRENT PREDICTION

EQUATION
(Standing’s Equation)
Qo / Qomax @ FE = 1 = 1 – 0.2 ( P'wf / Pr ) – 0.8 ( P'wf / Pr )
Where,
P'wf = Pr - ( Pr - Pwf )FE

FE = (Pr - Pwf - 0.869 m S) / (Pr - Pwf )

 BRIEF INFROMATION
Standing’s equation was modified by Harrison to permit use of the model for all flow efficiencies greater than one.
Klins et al modified Vogel’s method to explicitly account for the effects of bubble point pressure and skin. Their
model, given by equation below

Qo /Qomax @ S = 0 = M [ 1 – 0.295 ( Pwf / Pr ) – 0.705 ( Pwf / Pr )n ]

Where,
M = 6.835 / ( 6.835 + S )

n = [ 1.235 + 0.72 ( Pr / Pb ) ] ( 1.235 + 0.001 Pb )

Future IPR curves can be predicted using a technique developed by Eickmeier by first solving for
Qomaxi using Vogel’s, Standing’s, or Klins’ equations, and then the maximum flow rate at future
conditions,
Qomaxf, using equation

Qomaxi / Qomaxf = ( Pri / Prf )3

 MINI CONCLUSION

This research will present an alternative method for

predicting future IPR curves for oil wells yielding more
reliable results than Eickmeier’s method.

APPLICATION
The data that we used to calculate
and make speculations
Millikan and Sidewell presented a true, experimentally
determined IPR curve obtained in the field for an
oil well in the Carry City field, Oklahoma. The IPR
curve was obtained by measuring stabilized
bottom-hole pressures as a function of flow rate.
This data, which was analyzed thoroughly by
Golan and Whitson, was utilized extensively in this
research.
 Figure 2 displays the plot and the
power-law trend Guyline equation.
This plot is similar to that obtained
from a conventional backpressure
test on a gas well
 This comparison, shown in Figure 3, was done to confirm that the ΔP2 method
equation was accurate and that it could therefore be used to predict both the current IPR
curve and future IPR curve

Finally, data for constructing future IPR curves
were obtained using the ΔP2 method
using the procedure developed by Chase
for gas wells and are shown as in the
columns labeled “ΔP2 Q0” in Table 4. The
predicted future IPR curves were plotted
versus the “Actual ΔP2 Q0” IPR curve
and are shown in Figure 5

DICUSSION OF
RESULT
Vogel's technique consistently over-
predicted inflow performance while
employing a single point from the
original production data, as seen in
Figure 6.
 Figure 7 displays the current IPR curves
generated using the ΔP2 method along with
the actual IPR curve of Figure 1, the ΔP2
method more accurately predicts the Qomax
for a much wider range of stabilized flow rate
values.
The actual future IPR curve and the
future Vogel IPR curves shown in
Figure 5 are re-plotted by Excel in
Figure 9 to show the relationship
between predicted future IPR curves
and the actual future IPR curve
 MINI CONCLUSION

It is better to use as high a flow rate and pressure

drawdown as possible along with Vogel’s equation to
find Qomax. Chase’s method utilizing the stabilized Q
and Pwf along with the value of Qomax found using
Vogel’s method should then be used to find a stabilized
deliverability curve and equation to generate the well’s
current and future IPR curves.

CONCLUSION
 Article 1

It can be determined from the article is that the research has grant the oil and gas industry many benefits:
• More precise, reliable and robust information to figure out fundamental equation of petroleum reservoir.
• Better predictions of the future production scheme while the shape and environment of reservoir
• High precision and fewer mathematical functions, an advantage which can be applied in various conditions like as
homogenous reservoirs.

Article 2
This study has also shown that when the stabilized flow rate is closer to 0.1Pr, the inflow performance of a well
calculated simply using Vogel's approach is more accurate. However, in the field, flowing a well at a 90 percent
pressure drawdown may be impractical. Furthermore, future IPR curves projected using Vogel's technique in
conjunction with Eckmeier’s equation have a higher level of error.

If the single stabilized flow rate and stabilized bottom-hole pressure, as well as the Q0max determined using Vogel's
equation, are utilized to construct a stabilized deliverability curve and equation, more accurate present and future
IPR curves are obtained.
