Phase behaviour plays an important role in most oil recovery processes and is an essential part of all enhanced oil recovery processes. Thus, understanding of the underlying phase behaviour is an important first step towards description and modelling of Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) processes. The use of both laboratory experiments and correlation to obtain PVT data will be discussed and illustrated using practical examples. Participants are urged to bring their own PVT reports. Fluid characterization with an EOS using commercial PC-based programs will be performed.

OUTLINE:


  • Traditional and modified black-oil PVT properties
  • Using correlations and laboratory data to obtain PVT properties
  • Laboratory PVT experiments - how they are conducted, for what purpose and how they should be applied
  • Fluid characterization with an equation of state (EOS)
  • Heptanes - plus characterization
  • Tuning an EOS by regression
  • Pseudoizing to reduce the number of components
  • Generating modified black-oil properties
  • Slim tube simulations and MMP calculations



WHO SHOULD ATTEND:

This course is aimed at practicing reservoir engineers and researchers dealing with phase behaviour, miscible displacement and reservoir simulation. Process and chemical engineers will also be able to follow the course.
