    PVT Properties of Petroleum Fluids (RILS)

    This course will present the methods for obtaining values of reservoir fluid properties from laboratory data and correlations.  Chemical properties of hydrocarbons, conventional laboratory PVT (Pressure-Volume-Temperature) tests and quality control will also be covered.  Participants will learn about phase diagrams, mixing rules, EOS, EOS tuning, and fluid properties while attending this course.

      • Miscibility concept
      • Reservoir Fluids
    • Equations of State for Ideal and Real Gases
    • PVT Properties of Natural Gas
    • PVT Properties of Black Oil
    • Black Oil Correlations

    • Ideal and Non-Ideal Gas-Liquid Equilibrium
    • Evaluation of phase boundaries and flash equilibrium with EOS
    • Cubic Equation of State
    • Solution of van der Waals EOS

    • Fugacity Evaluations
    • PVT-VLE Evaluation
    • Tuning of Equations of State
    • Surface Separation and example separator Calculations

    • PVT sampling methods , quality control and sample selection 
    • Complex Fluid sampling

    Workshop with Generic Data

    • Load sample/sample(s) into PVTi
    • If gas condensate/volatile oil sample, perform material balance calculations on CVD experiment
    • Tune EoS using lab measurements CVD/DL, CCE, separator tests, swelling experiments (this can be very time consuming for multiple samples)
    • Split tail of sample
    • Group components into pseudo components
    • Tune viscosity separately from EOS
    • Export EOS for use with compositional simulation
    • Export PVT tables for use with black oil simulation (ensure that separator conditions are used)
