1. n. [Production Testing]

Tests in an oil or gas well to determine its flow capacity at specific conditions of reservoir and flowing pressures. The absolute open flow potential (AOFP) can be obtained from these tests, and then the inflow performance relationship (IPR) can be generated. A deliverability test also is called a productivity test.

Synonyms: productivity test

See: absolute open flow potential,  AOFP,  flowing pressure,  inflow performance relationship,  IPR,  reservoir pressure
