IPR

1. n. [Production Testing]

A mathematical tool used in production engineering to assess well performance by plotting the well production rate against the flowing bottomhole pressure (BHP). The data required to create the IPR are obtained by measuring the production rates under various drawdown pressures. The reservoir fluid composition and behavior of the fluid phases under flowing conditions determine the shape of the curve.

Alternate Form: inflow performance relationship
