Input(s)

$n$: Performance Exponent for Flow in the wellbore (dimensionless)

$P_{t f}$: Wellhead Flowing Pressure $(\mathrm{psi})$

$P_{w f}$: Bottomhole Flowing Pressure (psi)

$C_{1}$: Performance Coefficient for Flow upwards in the Wellbore (bbl/d psi)

Output(s)

$W$: Flow Rate $(\mathrm{bbl} / \mathrm{d})$
