Maximum flow rate (Vogel's equation)

Input(s)

q: Tested Production Rate (stb/d)

P: Reservoir Pressure (psi)

Pw\boldsymbol{P}_{\boldsymbol{w}}: Tested Flowing Bottom Hole Pressure (psi)

Output(s)

qmax\boldsymbol{q}_{\max }: Maximum Flow Rate (stb/d)(\mathrm{stb} / \mathrm{d})

Formula(s)

qmax=q10.2(PwP)0.8(PwP)2\mathrm{q}_{\max }=\frac{\mathrm{q}}{1-0.2 *\left(\frac{\mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{w}}}{\mathrm{P}}\right)-0.8 *\left(\frac{\mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{w}}}{\mathrm{P}}\right)^{2}}
