Comparison Between Standing and Couto's Method

This document compares Standing and Couto's methods for calculating the inflow performance relationship (IPR) curve for an oil well. It provides an example calculation for two different flow efficiencies (FE), 0.7 and 1.3, showing the Pwf and IPR values calculated by each method plotted on a graph. Standing's method uses a table of pre-calculated values, while Couto's method uses a mathematical formula to directly calculate the Pwf and IPR values. The results show close matching values between the two methods.
