Definitions
Fluid means liquids and gases.
Below is the list of the most popular fluid types
| Abbreviation | Description | Components |
|---|---|---|
| GAS | Dry Gas | Gas |
| BO | Black Oil | Water, oil wth saturated gas, gas |
| VO / MBO | Volatile Oil (Modified Black Oil) | watwer, oil with saturated gas, gas with oil vapor |
| EOS | Compositional or Equation of State | water, up to 16 hydrocarbon components |
Goals
Predict multi-compositional multi-phase fluid properties in the thermal and hydrodynamic equilibrium as functions of temperature and pressure.
Objectives
- Assessing the fluid properties from laboratory data
- Building a fluid model for a user-defined range of temeratures, pressures and fluid composition:
- density
- compressibility
- formation volume factor
- viscosity
- specific heat capacity at constant pressure
- thermal conductivity
- cross-phase exchange coefficients
- density
