Clearly, a flow efficiency of 1 indicates an undamaged well with Δ''p''<sub>skin</sub> = 0, a flow efficiency > 1 indicates a stimulated well (perhaps because of a hydraulic fracture), and a flow efficiency < 1 indicates a damaged well. Note that, to determine flow efficiency, we must know the average reservoir pressure, [[File:PR.PNG|middle| | Clearly, a flow efficiency of 1 indicates an undamaged well with Δ''p''<sub>skin</sub> = 0, a flow efficiency > 1 indicates a stimulated well (perhaps because of a hydraulic fracture), and a flow efficiency < 1 indicates a damaged well. Note that, to determine flow efficiency, we must know the average reservoir pressure,[[File:PR.PNG|middle|25x25px|PR]], and skin factor, ''S''. Methods to measure these quantities are discussed in [[Determination_of_flow_efficiency_and_skin|Determination of flow efficiency and skin]]. | ||
The impact of skin on well productivity can be estimated by the use of [[Reservoir_inflow_performance|inflow performance relationships]] (IPRs) for the well such as those proposed by Vogel, <ref name="r3">Vogel, J.V. 1968.
