Petroleum Engineering – PVT, Experiments: Constant Composition Expansion
Once we have a sample of reservoir fluid, either directly or by recombination, we need to do reservoir fluid measurement,…
Petroleum Engineering – Hydrocarbon Phase Behavior
Ideally, laboratory measured PVT data should be utilized. Many times, laboratory data is not available and correlations must be used instead. This…
Petroleum Engineering – PVT, Experiments: Differential Liberation
The bubble point pressure is determined by an experiment called “Constant Composition Expansion” (CCE), also called: “flash liberation”. The device…
Petroleum Engineering – PVT, Experiments: Separator Test
Separator Test experiments are carried out for both oil and gas condensate mixtures. A sample of reservoir liquid is placed…
Petroleum Engineering – PVT, Sampling Methods
There are basically three ways of collecting fluids samples from a well, either by Downhole Sampling, Wellhead Sampling or by Surface Recombination Sampling. Downhole…
