Production fluid

Production fluid

Production fluid is the fluid mixture of oil, gas and water in formation fluid that flows to the surface of an oil well from a reservoir. Its consistency and composition varies.

Fluids may be described by a multitude of characteristics including:
*Water cut - the proportion of the fluid, which is water rather than hydrocarbons.
*API gravity - the oilfield measurement of the weight of the hydrocarbons.
*GOR - Gas to oil ratio describing how many standard cubic feet of gas can be obtained for every stock tank barrel of oil.
* H2S - the concentration of this gas. Fluids with a high concentration of H2S are described as "sour".
