What Does PI Stand For?
PI stands for Plugging Index
The Plugging Index (PI) is a quantitative measure used in the petroleum industry to assess the propensity of a well's production fluid to create and accumulate blockages in the flow paths. It evaluates the effectiveness of fluid flow and the likelihood of production issues due to contaminants such as sand, scale, or paraffins. A higher PI indicates a greater risk of plugging, guiding operators in well management and maintenance strategies to optimize production efficiency.
