Evaluation of empirically derived PVT properties for Pakistani crude oils

Mohammed Aamir Mahmood, Muhammad Ali Al-Marhoun

Journal of Petroleum Science and Engineering, Volume 16, Issue 4, December 1996, Pages 275-290

Abstract

This study evaluates the most frequently used pressure-volume-temperature (PW) empirical correlations for Pakistani crude oil samples. The evaluation is performed by using an unpublished data set of 22 bottomhole fluid samples collected from different locations in Pakistan. Based on statistical error analysis, suitable correlations for field applications are recommended for estimating bubblepoint pressure, oil formation volume factor (PVF), oil compressibility and oil viscosity.
