Determining of reservoir fluids properties using PVTP simulation software- a case study of buzurgan oilfield

The measurement of oil reservoirs and their performance with hydrocarbon reservoirs is used to distinguish the properties of reservoir fluids, which is significant in various reservoir studies. As a result, in the various oil industries, adopting the appropriate methods to obtain accurate property values is very important. The current paper is about a case study of the BUZURGAN Oilfield and how the PVTp software was used to predict phase activity and physical properties. To understand the properties of fluids for the reservoir and phase behavior, the black oil model and the equation of state (EoS) model are used. (Glaso) correlation is used to calculate the bubble point strain, solubility, and formation volume factor. The Beal's correlation was also used to measure viscosity, while the equation of state (EoS) model was used to determine phase behavior and density. Furthermore, the properties of PVT were discovered using the software, and the results were compared to laboratory analysis of PVT, with suitable models being displayed. According to the findings, the used model has the highest saturation pressure, which was chosen for use in reservoir management processes and the preparation of a geological model to reflect the field later. It is clear that the program is appropriate due to the accurate dependence of PVT measurements on laboratory tests in the case that tests are required during the reservoir's productive existence.

pvT-Behavior of Polymers under Processing Conditions and Implementation in the Process Simulation

The development of high performance products at lowest possible product development-time and costs is the demand of the plastics industry today. A successful use of process simulation to describe the behavior of complex structures and to minimize the technical and economic risks for companies requires application and process-relevant material data.The pvT-behavior of polymers is an essential parameter for process simulations. Especially the dependence of the specific volume of pressure and temperature [1, 2] under process conditions is not mapped to the existing measurement methods.In this study pvT measurements were performed on selected amorphous and semi-crystalline polymers (PP, HDPE, POM, PBT, and ABS) with a Pirouette pvT device, a combination of a dilatometer and Couette rheometer. The specific volume was determined as a function of temperature (25-300°C) and at pressures ranging between 200-1000 bar. On top of that, the influence of the cooling rate was also investigated by pvT measurements performed at cooling rates of 0.1°C/s, 1°C/s and 100°C/s.The coefficients for the 2nd domain Tait pvT-model, which is implemented in the software Autodesk Moldflow, were determined by fitting the experimental pvT data and comparing them with the measured curves. As a result, the semi-crystalline polymers show a shift of the transition temperature to lower temperatures and a reduction in the specific volume in the melt is observed. For validation, in a case study shrinkage results in real were compared with the simulation.
