Vertical Lift Performance (VLP), named also Outflow or Vertical Flow Performance (VFP), describes the bottom-hole pressure as a function of flow rate. The VLP depends on many factors including fluid PVT properties, well depth, tubing size, surface pressure, water cut and GOR. It describes the flow from the bottom-hole of the well to the wellhead.
