How to Calculate and Solve for Gas Flow of Reservoir Fluid Flow | The Calculator Encyclopedia

The image above represents gas flow. To calculate the gas flow, four essential parameters are needed, and these parameters are Performance Co-efficient (C), Average Reservoir Pressure (P_r^*), Flowing Bore Hole Pressure (P_wf^*) and Exponent (n).

The formula for calculating the gas flow:

Q_g = C(P_r^*² – P_wf^*²)ⁿ

Where;

Q_g = Gas Flow
C = Performance Co-efficient
P_r^* = Average Reservoir Pressure
P_wf^* = Flowing Bore Hole Pressure
n = Exponent

Let’s solve an example;
Find the gas flow when a performance Co-efficient is 9, the average reservoir pressure is 10, flowing bore hole pressure is 5 and an exponent of 20 is given.

This implies that;

C = Performance Co-efficient = 9
P_r^* = Average Reservoir Pressure = 10
P_wf^* = Flowing Bore Hole Pressure = 5
n = Exponent = 20

Q_g = C(P_r^*² – P_wf^*²)ⁿ
Q_g = 9(10² – 5²)20
Then, Q_g = 9(100 – 25)20
Q_g = 9(75)20
So, Q_g = 9(3.17e+37)
Q_g = 2.85e+38

Therefore, the gas flow is 2.85e+38.
