Advanced PVT and EOS Fluid Characterization

By the end of the course you will feel confident to:
- Make decisions about sampling and PVT laboratory procedures required
- Design and use PVT laboratory reports, including those for gas injection studies
- Develop EOS models
- Generate appropriate black-oil PVT tables for reservoir simulation

TOPICS:
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 characterisation with an equation of state (EOS)
Heptanes - plus characterisation
Tuning an EOS by regression
Pseudoizing to reduce the number of components
Generating modified black-oil properties
Slim tube simulations and MMP calculations

This course is designed for you, if you are:
- A practicing reservoir engineer and/or researcher dealing with phase behaviour, miscible displacement and compositional / complex black-oil reservoir simulation
- A process or chemical engineer

How we build your confidence:
- Laboratory experiments and correlations to obtain PVT data will be discussed and illustrated using practical examples
- You are urged to bring your own PVT reports to discuss with the trainer
- Fluid characterisation with an EOS using commercial PC-based programs will be performed
