Gas/Oil Interfacial Tension

Gas/Oil Interfacial Tension correlation was published by Baker and Swerdloff in 1956.

Math and Physics

\sigma_{68} =39 - 0.2571 SG_{oAPI}

\sigma_{100} =37.5 - 0.2571 SG_{oAPI}

At\ T<68F,\ \sigma_{od}=\sigma_{68}

At\ 68F<T<100F,\ \sigma_{od}=\sigma_{68} + \frac{(T - 68) * (\sigma_{100} - \sigma_{68})}{ (100 - 68)}

At\ T>100F,\ \sigma_{od}=\sigma_{100}

\sigma_{o}=\sigma_{od} \times (1-0.024P^{0.45})

The interfacial tension becomes zero at miscibility pressure. 1 dyne/cm is used for calculations, then it becomes less than 1.

if (\sigma_{o}<1) \sigma_{o}=1

Nomenclature

P

= pressure, psia

SG_{oAPI}

= oil specific gravity, °API

\sigma_{o}

= gas/oil interfacial tension, dynes/cm

\sigma_{od}

= gas/oil interfacial tension for dead oil, dynes/cm

T

= temperature, °F
