COURSE OVERVIEW
This course is designed to provide the audience with classical and novel approaches in phase behavior studies of reservoir fluids. The course starts with an overview of reservoir fluids and their classification. The audience will become familiar with the role of PVT phase behavior in upstream field development plan and downstream process design.
Then, the challenges and errors associated with fluid sampling are reviewed. A detailed Quality check (QC) of collected fluid samples from subsurface and surface is presented and discussed, and a unified approach is presented for sampling and recombination of gas condensate samples to obtain a representative reservoir fluid. Next, PVT correlations and Physical property estimation methods are reviewed for black oil and compositional fluid samples. After that, the material balance of PVT tests are reviewed and several real-world, field examples will be presented and discussed. Following a review of heavy-end fluid characterization and EOS tuning, a systematic approach towards fluid characterization and equation of state (EOS) tuning is presented with worked examples.
