McCain Oil density correlation

McCain correlation is an empirical correlation for the oil density published in 1995 [1].

McCain oil density correlation in the PVT Software

Math & Physics

Pseudoliquid density:

\rho_{po} = 52.8 - 0.01 R_{sb}

Apparent liquid density:

\rho_a = a_0 + a_1\ SG_{gSP} + a_2\ SG_{gSP}\ \rho_{po} + a_3\ SG_{gSP}\ \rho_{po}^2 + a_4\ \rho_{po} +a_5\ \rho_{po}^2
a_0 = -49.8930
a_1 = 85.0149
a_2 = - 3.70373
a_3 = 0.0479818
a_4 = 2.98914
a_5 =- 0.0356888

Next pseudoliquid density[2]:

\rho_{po} = \frac{R_s\ SG_g + 4,600\ SG_o}{73.71+R_s\ SG_g\ / \rho_a}

Iterate until pseudoliquid densities are equal.

Next adjust density to the pressure of interest:

\rho_{bs} = \rho_{po} + \triangle \rho_P

where

\triangle \rho_{P} = \left ( 0.167 + 16.181 \times 10^{-0.0425\ \rho_{po}} \right) \frac{P}{1000} - 0.01 \left ( 0.299 + 263 \times 10^{-0.0603\ \rho_{po}}\right)\ \left (\frac{P}{1000}\right)^2

Adjust density to the temperature of interest:

\rho_{o} = \rho_{bs} + \triangle \rho_T

where

\triangle \rho_T = (0.00302 + 1.505\ \rho_{bs}^{-0.951}) (T - 60)^{0.938} - (0.0216 - 0.0233\ (10^{-0.0161\ \rho_{bs}})) (T - 60)^{0.475}

Oil density above the bubble point pressure:

\rho_{o} = \rho_{b}\ e^{c_o\ (P - P_b)}

Example. Calculation of the oil density

Example source [3]

Input data

R_s = 53.24 sm3/sm3
SG_o = 0.85 or 35 API
SG_g = 0.75
T = 90C or 363K
P = 10 MPa

Calculate oil density at p = 10 MPa?

Solution

\rho_o = 749.645 kg/m3

The solution is available in the online PVT calculator software model at www.pengtools.com
