Brief

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

Oil density in the PVT Tool

Math & Physics

Pseudoliquid density:

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

Apparent liquid density:

\rho_a = -49.8930 + 85.0149\ SG_g - 3.70373\ SG_g\ \rho_{po} + 0.0479818\ SG_g\ \rho_{po}^2 + 2.98914\ \rho_{po} - 0.0356888\ \rho_{po}^2
\rho_{po} = \frac{R_s\ SG_g + 4,600\ SG_o}{73.71+R_s\ SG_g\ / \rho_a}

Discussion

Application range

Description of the Data Used[2]:

  20 \le R_s \le 2,070
  0.75 \le SG_o \le 0.96
  0 \le P \le 5250
  70 \le T \le 295

Number of oil systems = 600
Number of dead oil observations = 460
Number of live oil observations = 2,073

Nomenclature

 A = coefficient
 B = coefficient
 m = coefficient
 P = pressure, psia
 R_s = solution gas-oil ratio, scf/stb
 SG_o = oil specific gravity, dimensionless
 T = temperature, °F
 x = coefficient
 \mu = viscosity, cP

Subscripts

b - bubble point
od - dead oil
os - saturated oil
o - undersaturated oil
