Sampling

• The value to be attached to thelaboratory determinationsdepends on whether the sampleinvestigated is representative ofthe reservoir contents.

• The taking of samples can beaccomplished either by sub-surface sampling or by surfacesampling.

1. Subsurface Sampling

• In this case a subsurface sampleris lowered into the well and keptopposite the producing layer for asufficiently long time, figure innext slide.

• Subsurface samples can only berepresentative of the reservoircontents when the pressure at thepoint of sampling is above orequal to the saturation pressure. Ifthis condition is not fulfilled, oneshould take a surface sample.

The crude oil density is definedas the mass of a unit volume of thecrude at a specified pressure andtemperature. The specific gravity of acrude oil is defined as the ratio of thedensity of the oil to that of water. Bothdensities are measured at 60°F andatmospheric pressure; although thedensity and specific gravity are usedextensively in the petroleum industry,the API gravity is the preferred gravityscale. This gravity scale is preciselyrelated to the specific gravity.

The American Petroleum Institutegravity, or API gravity, is a measure ofhow heavy or light petroleum liquid iscompared to water. If its API gravity isgreater than 10, it is lighter and floatson water; if less than 10, it is heavierand sinks. API gravity is thus aninverse measure of the relative densityof a petroleum liquid and the density ofwater, but it is used to compare therelative densities of petroleum liquids.For example, if one petroleum liquidfloats on another and is therefore lessdense, it has a greater API gravity.Although mathematically, API gravityhas no units (see the formula below), itis nevertheless referred to as being in"degrees". API gravity is gradated indegrees on a hydrometer instrument.The API scale was designed so that

most values would fall between 10 and70 API gravity degrees.

Measurement of API gravity from its density

To derive the API gravity from thedensity, the density is first measuredusing either the hydrometer, detailed inASTM D1298 or with the oscillating U-tube method detailed in ASTM D4052.Density adjustments at differenttemperatures, corrections for soda-limeglass expansion and contraction andmeniscus corrections for opaque oilsare detailed in the PetroleumMeasurement Tables, details of usagespecified in ASTM D1250. The specificgravity is then calculated from theformula below and the API gravitycalculated from the first formula above.

Classifications or grades

Generally speaking, oil with an APIgravity between 40 and 45 commandsthe highest prices. Above 45 degreesthe molecular chains become shorterand less valuable to refineries.

Crude oil is classified as light, mediumor heavy, according to its measured APIgravity.

Light crude oil is defined as havingan API gravity higher than 31.1°API (less than 870 kg/m3)Medium oil is defined as having anAPI gravity between 22.3 °API and31.1 °API (870 to 920 kg/m3)Heavy crude oil is defined as havingan API gravity below 22.3 °API(920 to 1000 kg/m3)Extra heavy oil is defined with APIgravity below 10.0 °API (greaterthan 1000 kg/m3)

Not all parties use the same grading.The United States Geological Surveyuses slightly different definitions.

Crude oil with API gravity less than 10°API is referred to as extra heavy oil orbitumen. Bitumen derived from the oilsands deposits in the Alberta, Canadaarea has an API gravity of around 8°API. It is "upgraded" to an API gravityof 31 °API to 33 °API, and theupgraded oil is known as syntheticcrude.

Calibration

1. Remove the lid from the cup, andcompletely fill the device withwater after heating it till reach60°F (make sure thethermometer)

2. Replace the lid and wipe dry.3. Use the balance in order to get

the net weight of the water.4. Calculate the density by dividing

the net weighton the volumewhich is writen on the device.

Conversely, the specific gravity ofpetroleum liquids can be derivedfrom the API gravity value as

Thus, a heavy oil with a specificgravity of 1.0 (i.e., with the samedensity as pure water at 60°F)would have an API gravity of:

Chandler's high pressure viscometer is a manual,time-measuring, instrument that operates onthe principle of the measurement of time requiredfor a rolling ball, affected by shear andpressure of the fluid, to travel a pre-determineddistance at controlled conditions. It employsa rolling steel ball for determining the dynamicviscosity of liquid-phase samples at constanttemperatures and pressures. The ball is positionedinside the measuring barrel with the testfluid sample so that it is limited to only rollingtype motion. An electronic timer records thetime required for the ball to roll through thebarrel.

The Chandler high pressure Rolling BallViscometer is a precision instrument used todetermine the viscosity of bottom-hole andsurface samples of reservoir oils at elevatedtemperatures and pressures to 10,000 psi at300°F. Accurate and reproducible engineeringdata is obtainable, whether the specificapplication is to determine the viscosity ofpetroleumfluids at simulated reservoir conditions, or liquidphase viscosities at other predeterminedpressures and temperatures. The samplesmeasured must be electrically non-conductive.The viscometer operates on a rolling-ballprinciple where the roll-time of a ¼-inch-diameterball is used to obtain viscosity data. Viscosityvalues are then obtained by correlation of themeasured data with curves of fluids with known

viscosities and densities.

Safety Requirements• Operator SHOULD avoid contact with the baresurface of the test assembly jacket whenin operation. The instrument control boxSHOULD NOT at any time be opened duringoperation. Anunskilled person SHOULD NOT troubleshootpotentially dangerous equipment. SafetySHOULD NOT be assumed. The operator mustkeep in mind, even the most sophisticatedinstrument cannot think; (a) insulators do notalways insulate, (b) conductors do not alwaysconduct properly, (c) resistors do not alwaysdissipate the required heat. For these reasons, theoperator should carefully follow the outlinedinstructions of this manual and consult themanufacturer when specific questions arise.CAUTION: Exposure to H2S is potentially fatal.Use adequate safety procedureswhen handling H2S samples. Consult your safetydepartment for proper procedures for handlingH2S.

Operation

In the rolling-ball viscometer, the time it takes ametal ball to roll from one end of a fluid filledtube to the other is an indication of the viscosity

for the fluid. Mathematically this isexpressed as

From the above equation it can be seen that for aconstant ball and fluid density ( B – F), theviscosity ( ) is directly proportional to the ballroll-time (t). Effectively, the ball is forceddown the tube due to gravitational effects at a ratedependent upon the fluid viscosity and thedifference between the density of the ball and thatof the fluid. Any increase in fluid densityreduces the effect of gravity acting on the ball.The ball will correspondingly fall more slowly(an increase of the t term), and indicates a higherviscosity value. Conversely, as the density termdiminishes to zero, the viscosity value alsoapproaches zero.1. Choose the correct ball size. This can be doneby examining the sample fluid. If thefluid viscosity is estimated to be below 25centipoise (above 25° API), a .252- or .248-inch diameter ball should be used. Above 25centipoise (below 25° API), the .234-inchdiameter ball will be appropriate. The balls arenot interchangeable and must be keptseparate.2. Clean the test assembly. Since the barrel, balland inner chamber must be completelyfree of dirt and lint, care should be taken to securea clean test assembly before

undertaking any measurements. Light oil, such askerosene, and thin paper should beused to clean the ball and chamber.

3. Place the ball in the bottom of the emptymeasuring barrel from the upper end of theassembled test unit.4. Evacuate the test assembly. This is done byopening the vacuum pump valve at the lowerend of the unit and closing the charging valve.5. Charge the test sample fluid to the viscometer.The vacuum valve should be closed whilethe high pressure charging valve should now bereopened.6. Rock the test assembly to obtain a single-phasesample. A mixing device called the "SlipRing Mixer" is installed to facilitate the effort.Effectively, the task is completed whenpressure fluctuations of the sample have ended.Sufficient time afterwards should beallowed to permit the newly liberated gas bubblesto escape from the measuring barrel.Particularly in the case of heavy fluids, a bubbletrapped under the ball will sometimeshinder it from free-fall. The surface tension of theoil prevents the bubble from passing

between the confines of the barrel and ball; thebubble thus reduces the weight of the balland lengthens its roll-time or might preventelectrical contact entirely.7. Set the temperature of the viscometer to thedesired test temperature with the barrel valveopen. First, the main power switch (Item #10)must be switched to the ON position. Setthe desired temperature on the temperaturecontroller (Item #9; this is done by pressingthe UP and DOWN arrows; refer tomanufacturers’ manual for instructions). The OP1light will illuminate to indicate the propertemperature cycling. During heating, it is veryimportant that the chamber be open to a pressurecontrol system. Allow one hour after thetemperature set point has been reached for the testunit and sample to reach thermalequilibrium. Once the desired temperature andpressure has stabilized, rock the testassembly again to homogenize the sample andthen close the charging valve.

8. Bring the ball into the TOP position at theupper end of the measuring barrel by rotatingthe receptacle arm handle (Item #49; SeeDrawing #1602-1). The handle should berotated towards the upper end of the test unit untilthe 180° stop assembly (Item #67)engages with the stop lug mounted on the testunit. The Top indicator (Item #6) willilluminate when the ball has travelled through thelength of the barrel and made contact

with the barrel valve plunger (Item #1 fromDrawing #1602-1). At this time, theappropriate resolution of the timer may bedetermined. The Timer has a 6-digit displaywith a maximum resolution of 0.001 seconds; thissetting yields a maximum test time ofapproximately 16 minutes and 40 seconds. If theball takes longer than this to fall fromthe bottom to the top, adjust the resolution of theTimer (refer to manufacturers’ manualfor instructions).9. Energize the solenoid with the Coil toggleswitch (Item #11) in the ON position. Nowthe ball can be held in the TOP position. The testunit is then returned to the operatingposition.10. Zero the clock by pushing the RST button onthe Timer (Item #7).11. Release the ball by pressing the DROPbutton. The TIMER will start when the ball is nolonger in contact with the barrel valve plunger.When the ball makes contact at the end ofthe roll, the Timer stops, the Alarm (Item #5)

sounds and the Bottom light illuminates.

CalibrationAs stated previously, operation of the Chandler

Rolling Ball Viscometer is based on thefollowing equation:

IJSER

The Calibration Constant (K) is dependent uponthe size of the ball, the angle of themeasuring barrel and the vertical distancetraveled. Therefore, everything else being equal,the value of K varies with each ball and rollangle. A calibration should be conducted foreach individual ball used at each measuringangle.Chandler Engineering recommends an annual“spot check” of the Calibration Constant foreach ball used, at each angle and at least three (3)temperatures. A simple “spot check”procedure would be to measure the viscosity of aViscosity Standard. A full calibrationshould also be performed if any criticalcomponent (the ball, measuring barrel, coilassembly,lower contact assembly, control cable or controlbox) is replaced.

Figure 1.4: RrollingBall Viscometer

Calibration ProcedureOne or more Viscosity Standards (fluids ofknown density and viscosity at test temperatures)should be used. A roll-time mean is taken fromfive consistent readings at each desired RollAngle. All calibrating tests are made atatmospheric pressure.

1. Choose the correct ball size. If the viscosity ofthe Viscosity Standard is below 25centipoise (above 25° API), a .252- or .248-inch

diameter ball should be used. Above 25centipoise (below 25° API), the .234-inchdiameter ball will be appropriate. The balls arenot interchangeable and must be kept separate.2. Check the diameter and density of the selectedball.3. Select a minimum of three (3) TestTemperatures from the data sheet of the ViscosityStandard. Typically these are:a. Ambient (77°F or 25°C)b. Mid-Range (122°F or 50°C)c. High Temperature (212°F or 100°C)

WARNING: Select temperatures that areBELOW the Boiling Point of theViscosity Standard.4. Clean the test assembly. Since the barrel, balland inner chamber must be completelyfree of dirt and lint, care should be taken to securea clean test assembly beforeundertaking any measurements. Light oil, such askerosene, and thin paper should beused to clean the ball and chamber.5. Place the ball into the empty measuring barrelwhile in a horizontal position. Slowly raise

the barrel from horizontal and allow the ball togently roll to the bottom.6. Fill the viscometer with the Viscosity Standard.Rock the test assembly to obtain a single-phasesample.

7. Set the temperature controller to the first testtemperature. Allow one hour after the setpoint has been reached to allow the temperatureto balance throughout the unit.8. Run several roll tests until at least five (5)consistent roll times are obtained at eachmeasuring angle: 70°, 45°, and 23°.9. Repeat steps 7 and 8 above for each testtemperature.

10. Select as many different Viscosity Standardsas required and repeat the above procedure.11. Compute the mean roll time for each set ofroll times (i.e. for each combination of ball,measuring angle, Viscosity Standard andtemperature).12. Divide the known viscosity of the ViscosityStandard by the product of the mean rolltime and the difference in density of the selectedball and that of the Viscosity Standard.This is the Calibration Constant. Tables similar tothe one below may facilitate thisprocess.

Gas Density & Specific GravityTheory

One of the main gas properties that arefrequently of interest to engineers is theapparent molecular weight. If yirepresents the mole fraction of thecomponent in a gas mixture, theapparent molecular weight is definedmathematically by the followingequation:

Ma = yi Mi

Where Ma = apparent molecular weightof a gas mixtureMi = molecular weight of thecomponent in the mixtureyi = mole fraction of component i in themixtureThe density of an ideal gas mixture iscalculated by simply replacing themolecular weight of the pure

component with the apparent molecularweight of the gas mixture to give:

EXPERIMENT NO. 6GAS VISCOSITY

The viscosity of a fluid is a measure ofthe internal fluid friction (resistance)to flow. If the friction between layers ofthe fluid is small, i.e., low viscosity, anapplied shearing force will result in alarge velocity gradient. As the viscosityincreases, each fluid layer exerts alarger frictional drag on the adjacentlayers and velocity gradient decreases.

The viscosity of a fluid is generallydefined as the ratio of the shear forceper unit area to the local velocitygradient. Viscosities are expressed interms of poises, centipoise the gasviscosity is not commonly measured inthe laboratory because it can beestimated precisely from empiricalcorrelations. Like all intensiveproperties.

The Carr-Kobayashi-Burrows CorrelationMethodCarr, Kobayashi, and Burrows (1954)developed graphical correlations forestimating the viscosity of natural gasas a function of temperature, pressure,and gas gravity. The computationalprocedure of applying the proposedcorrelations is summarized in thefollowing steps:

Step 1. Calculate the pseudo-criticalpressure, pseudo-critical temperature,and apparent molecular weight from thespecific gravity or the composition ofthe natural gas. Corrections to thesepseudocritical properties for thepresence of the nonhydrocarbon gases(CO2, N2, and H2S) should be made ifthey are present in concentrationsgreater than 5 mole percent.Step 2. Obtain the viscosity of thenatural gas at one atmosphere and thetemperature of interest from Figure 2-5.This viscosity, as denoted by 1, mustbe corrected for the presence ofnonhydrocarbon components by usingthe inserts of Figure 2-5. Thenonhydrocarbon fractions tend toincrease the viscosity of the gas phase.The effect of nonhydrocarboncomponents on the viscosity of thenatural gas can be expressed

mathematically by the followingrelationships:

1 = ( 1) uncorrected + ( )N2

+ ( )CO2 + ( )H2S

where 1 = “corrected” gas viscosity atone atmosphericpressure and reservoir temperature, cp

)N2 = viscosity corrections due tothe presence of N2

)CO2 = viscosity corrections due tothe presence of CO2

)H2S = viscosity corrections due tothe presence of H2S

1) uncorrected = uncorrected gasviscosity, cpStep 3. Calculate the pseudo-reducedpressure and temperature.Step 4. From the pseudo-reducedtemperature and pressure, obtain theviscosity ratio ( g 1) from Figure 2-6.The term g represents the viscosity ofthe gas at the required conditions.Step 5. The gas viscosity, g, at thepressure and temperature of interest iscalculated by multiplying the viscosityat one atmosphere and systemtemperature, 1, by the viscosity ratio.

HYDROGEN ION CONCENTRATION (pH):

Theory

The acidity and the alkalinity ofthe drilling fluid can be measuredby the concentration of the (H+)ion in the fluid. As for instance,if H+ is large (1 x 10-1), then the(OH-) hydroxyl concentration isvery low (1 x 10-13), the solutionis strongly acidic. If the (OH-)concentration is (1 x 10-1) veryhigh then (H+) concentration isvery low then the solution isstrongly alkaline. The pH of asolution is the logarithm of thereciprocal of the (H+)concentration in grams moles perliter, expresses as:

Therefore, if the pH of a mixturedrops from 7.0 to 6.0, the numberof (H+) increase ten times.

Methods of measuring pH in thelaboratory:

1. The PH Paper: The PH paperstrips have dyes absorbed into the

paper display certain colors incertain pH ranges. It is useful,inexpensive method to determinepH in oil sample. The maindisadvantage is that highconcentrations of salts (10,000ppm chloride) will alter the colorchange and cause inaccuracy.

Aim: Determine acidity no to know if the oilcontains organic acid that may react withAlkaline or caustic flooding in order to formsurfactant with the aim of reduces the interfacialtension between crude oil and water inside thereservoir hence increase productivity.

PH

The acidity and the alkalinity of thefluid can be measured by theconcentration of the (H+) ion in thefluid. As for instance, if H+ is large (1x 10-1), then the (OH-) hydroxylconcentration is very low (1 x 10-13),the solution is strongly acidic. If the(OH-) concentration is (1 x 10-1) veryhigh then (H+) concentration is verylow then the solution is stronglyalkaline. The pH of a solution is thelogarithm of the reciprocal of the (H+)

concentration in grams moles per liter,expresses as:

PH = log HH

Example: If the solution is neutral thenH+ and OH- concentrations are thesame equal to 1 x 10-7.

PH =

Therefore, if the pH of a mixture dropsfrom 7.0 to 6.0, the number of (H+)increases ten times.

Conclusions

The Pressure Volume Temperature analyses areso important for oil and gas field with the aim ofestimate the oil prices leading to significantrevenue shortfalls in many energy exportingnations, while consumers in many importingcountries are likely to have to pay less to heattheir homes or drive their cars.Energy subsidies, which amount to more than$540 billion per year worldwide, are as commonas they are damaging to economies, the poor, andthe environment, since they stimulateconsumption and undermine efforts to saveenergy and use it more efficiently.

The price of oil is of critical importance to today'sworld economy, given that oil is the largestinternationally traded good, both in volume andvalue terms, creating what some analysts havecalled a hydrocarbon economy. In addition, theprices of energy-intensive goods and services arelinked to energy prices, of which oil makes up thesingle most important share. Finally, the price ofoil is linked to some extent to the price of otherfuels. Therefore, abrupt changes in the pi-ice ofoil have wide-ranging ramifications for both oil-producing and oil-consuming countries. Thesharp decline in world oil prices since late 1997certainly qualify as an abrupt and significantchange.
