Methods to Evaluate Fluid Properties

Compositional ModelOil and gas are mixtures of several componentsAll components may be present in liquid and gas phasesVolumetric properties function (P,T, compositions) are evaluated using an Equation of State (EOS) for all phases.

Phase Behavior and Fluid Properties

Black Oil ModelHas only two components named as the phases: Gas (G) and Oil (O).G may be dissolved in the oil phase and accounted by the solution gas oil ratio (Rs). O cannot dissolve in the gas phase.Phase volumetric properties determined from separate correlations

Viscosity Definition & Units

Viscosity is a measure of the resistance to flow exerted by a fluidThis is called dynamic viscosity and has units of centipoise = g mass / 100 sec cm

Kinematic viscosity is viscosity / density, units are in centistokes = centipoise /g/cc

Chemical Analysis of Water

All formation water contains dissolved ions. The ions may be classified into two groups. Positively charged, or cations, and negatively charged or anions, these ions proceed from salts in solution and conduct electricity offering more or less resistance depending upon the salt concentration (property used in electric logs).
