Beggs-Robinson Correlation was used to calculate viscosity because this correlation is highly accurate among all
viscosity correlations. For volatile oil Begg’s correlation offers less error.

Where: A=10.715 ( R s +100 ) and B=5.44 ( R s +150 ) Next
step was to generate Inflow Performance Relationship (IPR) curves. “Multilayer-dp loss in wellbore” Reservoir
Model was used in this case to generate IPR curve for multizone well which shows that what reservoir can produce,
and each layer has its own IPR curve which shows their performance. Equation (5) which shows total pressure drops
in wellbore in case of multilayer well. ΔPT = ΔPHH +

∆PHH represents Hydrostatic Pressure Losses while ΔPf represents frictional losses.
Begg’s and Bill’s Correlation was used in this case to design Surface Equipment which is most accurate correlation
to select optimum surface equipment to reduce losses at surface. After that vertical lift performance curves were
generated based on different variables which showed the well performance. Petroleum Experts 2 correlation method
is most proficient and simple to generate vertical lift performance curve to reduce pressure losses during vertical
flow. In this case correlation Petroleum Experts 2 was applied to generate vertical lift performance curves.
