As a startup founder, I’m constantly juggling ideas, pitches, and strategies — this AI-powered whiteboard has been a huge help. It makes it easy to break down complex plans, expand ideas with GPT-4 and Claude, and quickly turn messy brainstorms into polished decks.

The diagram represents the pressure drop at different stages of fluid flow, starting from the reservoir porous medium and moving up through the wellbore to the separator and stock tank. The flow path includes:
1.Reservoir (Pₑ) to Wellbore (Pₚ)
1.Pressure drop (ΔP₁ = Pₑ - Pₚ)
2.This represents the loss in porous medium as fluids move from the reservoir through the formation toward the wellbore.
3.Flow Pattern: Single-phase flow (oil, gas, or water) or multiphase flow in the reservoir.
2.Wellbore Inflow (Pₚ) to Wellbore (Pₜw)
1.Pressure drop (ΔP₂ = Pₚ - Pₜw)
2.This represents the loss across the completion due to permeability and skin effects.
3.Flow Pattern: Single-phase or multiphase flow depending on fluid properties and reservoir conditions.
3.Wellbore Flow (Pₜw) through Bottomhole Restriction (P_DR)
1.Pressure drop (ΔP₃ = P_UR - P_DR)
2.Loss occurs across restrictions like a perforation tunnel, sand control screen, or gravel pack.
3.Flow Pattern: Multiphase flow (liquid and gas mixture if gas is present in solution).
4.Wellbore Flow (P_DR) to Safety Valve (P_DSV)
1.Pressure drop (ΔP₄ = P_USV - P_DSV)
2.This loss occurs across the safety valve due to turbulence and restriction.
3.Flow Pattern: Multiphase flow (oil, gas, and water).
5.Flow Across Surface Choke (P_DSC)
1.Pressure drop (ΔP₅ = P_wh - P_DSC)
2.Loss occurs as fluid passes through the surface choke, where expansion and velocity increase cause pressure loss.
3.Flow Pattern: Multiphase flow (gas expands rapidly, liquid may flash).
6.Flow in Flowline to Separator (P_sep)
1.Pressure drop (ΔP₆ = P_DSC - P_sep)
2.Loss in flowlines due to friction, elevation changes, and phase behavior.
3.Flow Pattern: Multiphase flow with gas-liquid separation occurring along the flowline.
7.Separation and Final Pressure Drop (P_sep to Sales Line)
1.Pressure drop (ΔP₈ = P_wh - P_sep)
2.The fluid enters a separator where gas and liquid separate, with gas moving to the sales line and liquid going to the stock tank.
3.Flow Pattern: Gas phase in gas line, liquid phase in stock tank.
Conclusion
The fluid flow experiences different flow regimes throughout its journey:
•Reservoir to Wellbore: Single-phase or multiphase flow.
•Wellbore: Multiphase flow with gas breakout occurring.
•Chokes and Flowlines: High-velocity multiphase flow.
•Separation: Gas and liquid separate into distinct phases.
