Phase behaviour plays an important role in most oil recovery processes and is an essential part of all enhanced oil recovery processes. Thus, understanding of the underlying phase behaviour is an important first step towards description and modelling of Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) processes. The use of both laboratory experiments and correlation to obtain PVT data will be discussed and illustrated using practical examples. Participants are urged to bring their own PVT reports. Fluid characterization with an EOS using commercial PC-based programs will be performed. PC’s and software will be provided.
OUTLINE
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 characterization with an equation of state (EOS)
Heptanes - plus characterization
Tuning an EOS by regression
Pseudoizing to reduce the number of components
Generating modified black-oil properties
Slim tube simulations and MMP calculations
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
This course is aimed at practicing reservoir engineers and researchers dealing with phase behaviour, miscible displacement and reservoir simulation. Process and chemical engineers will also be able to follow the course.
CUSTOMER FEEDBACK
This is just what I was looking for - in depth knowledge of EOS, not just the description of them, that's hard to find in the market.
Comment on how useful phase behaviour was: it was excellent although I have a very good knowledge of this topic.
The best course I have attended - both topics and organisation.
