oil_rate_linear

Calculate oil production rate for horizontal wells or linear flow geometries using Darcy's law with automated PVT property computation.

Instructions

Calculate oil production rate for linear flow.

INFLOW PERFORMANCE TOOL - Computes oil production rate for horizontal wells or wells with linear flow geometry using Darcy's law. Automatically calculates PVT properties (Rs, Bo, μo) at average pressure. Essential for horizontal well performance analysis and completion design.

Parameters:

  • pi (float, required): Initial/reservoir pressure in psia. Must be > 0. Example: 4000.0.

  • pb (float, required): Bubble point pressure in psia. Must be ≥ 0. Example: 3500.0. If pi < pb, reservoir is saturated (gas cap present).

  • api (float, required): Oil API gravity in degrees. Valid: 0-100. Example: 35.0.

  • degf (float, required): Reservoir temperature in °F. Valid: -460 to 1000. Example: 180.0.

  • sg_g (float, required): Gas specific gravity (air=1). Valid: 0-3. Typical: 0.6-1.2. Example: 0.75.

  • psd (float or list, required): Sandface/draining pressure(s) in psia. Must be > 0 and < pi. Can be scalar or array. Example: 1500.0 or [1000, 1500, 2000].

  • h (float, required): Net pay thickness in feet. Must be > 0. Typical: 10-200 ft. Example: 50.0.

  • k (float, required): Permeability in millidarcies (mD). Must be > 0. Typical: 1-1000 mD. Example: 100.0.

  • area (float, required): Cross-sectional flow area in square feet. Must be > 0. Typical: 100-10000 ft². Example: 1000.0.

  • length (float, required): Flow length in feet. Must be > 0. Typical: 100-5000 ft. Example: 500.0.

  • rsb (float, required): Solution GOR at bubble point in scf/stb. Must be ≥ 0. Example: 800.0.

Flow Geometry: Linear flow occurs in:

  • Horizontal wells (early-time flow)

  • Hydraulically fractured vertical wells (fracture flow)

  • Channelized reservoirs

  • Edge water drive systems

Darcy's Law Formula (Linear): qo = (0.001127 × k × area × (pi - pwf)) / (μo × Bo × length)

Where PVT properties (μo, Bo) are calculated at average pressure (pi + pwf)/2.

Linear vs Radial Flow:

  • Linear: Flow perpendicular to wellbore (horizontal wells)

  • Radial: Flow converging to wellbore (vertical wells)

  • Linear flow typically has higher productivity than radial

Returns: Dictionary with:

  • value (float or list): Oil rate in STB/day (matches input psd shape)

  • method (str): "Darcy linear flow"

  • units (str): "STB/day"

  • inputs (dict): Echo of input parameters

Common Mistakes:

  • Using separator temperature instead of reservoir temperature

  • Pressure in barg/psig instead of psia (must be absolute)

  • Confusing flow area (perpendicular to flow) with wellbore area

  • Using wrong flow length (should be distance from boundary to well)

  • Not accounting for net pay thickness correctly

  • Confusing linear flow (horizontal wells) with radial flow (vertical wells)

Example Usage:

{ "pi": 4000.0, "pb": 3500.0, "api": 35.0, "degf": 180.0, "sg_g": 0.75, "psd": [1500, 2000, 2500], "h": 50.0, "k": 100.0, "area": 1000.0, "length": 500.0, "rsb": 800.0 }

Result: Oil rate decreases as sandface pressure increases (typical IPR curve).

Note: This tool automatically calculates PVT properties. You don't need to provide Rs, Bo, or μo - they are computed internally at average pressure. Linear flow is characteristic of horizontal wells and hydraulically fractured wells.

Implementation Reference

  • The core handler function for the 'oil_rate_linear' tool. It processes input parameters, computes necessary PVT properties (Rs, Bo, μo) at average reservoir-sandface pressure, and calls the underlying pyrestoolbox.oil.oil_rate_linear function to compute the oil rate for linear flow regime.

  • The server.py file imports and calls register_inflow_tools(mcp), which in turn defines and registers the oil_rate_linear tool via @mcp.tool() decorator.

  • The register_inflow_tools function defines the @mcp.tool() decorated oil_rate_linear handler, effectively registering it with the MCP server when called.
