Dear All

For production wells we generally take 25% margin on well fluid flow rate for surging & 15 % margin on oil flow for swelling.

Here I understand the surging but what is the meaning of selling with oil.

Kindly someone through some light on this.

Thanks in advance.

Thank you Sir.
Here I understand that due to reduction in well pressure more vapour is generated from oil resulting in increased volumetric flow. That is swelling of oil...

aroon,

 

The link was functioning when I had posted it. I am also unable to trace it. The new web site of "Fekete" does not return a search on oil swell.

 

Regards,

Ankur.
