Synonym: Fluid @model = PVT @model
The ultimate part of PVT study is responsible for predicting dynamic fluid properties at various temperature and pressure based on the laboratory tests of available fluid samples.
The fluids may vary from simple (like water or methane) to multi-component and multi-phase (like live oil) and assumed to be in thermodynamic equilibrium.
Below is the list of the most popular categories of fluid models:
| Abbreviation | Description | Components |
|---|---|---|
| COMP / EOS | Compositional fluid model ( also called Equation of State ) | Water, alkanes components, minor organic and inorganic chemical substances |
| MBO / VO | Modified Black Oil ( also called Volatile Oil ) | Water, dead oil with solution gas, natural gas with volatile oil |
| BO | Black Oil | Water, dead oil with solution gas, natural gas |
| DO | Dead Oil ( also called Degasated Oil ) | Dead oil |
| GAS | Dry Gas | Natural gas |
| WAT | Water | Water |
