| Popis: | Empirical correlations to evaluate crude oil fluid properties such as the formation volume factor, bubble point, viscosity, and oil compressibility above the bubble point are used extensively by petroleum and process engineers to perform calculations for subsurface and surface processes. The published correlations are mostly based on regional data, such as Standing's for California crudes, Petrosky and Farshad's for Gulf of Mexico crudes, and Glaso's for North Sea crudes. Use of these regional correlations is more appropriate for crudes from the same basins for which the correlation is derived. Other correlations, such as the Vasquez and Beggs correlation, are based on data from a very large number of samples coming from multiple regions. Eventhough one is tempted to use these “universal” correlations, the range of error for their predictions is, however, typically large due to the scatter involved in using a large number of data sets to generate these correlations. The UAE fields are quite signi... |
