Velarde solution gas oil ratio correlation

Velarde correlation is an empirical correlation for the solution gas oil ratio published in 1997. [1]

Math & Physics

R_s = \frac{R_{sr}}{R_{sb}}
R_{sr} = \alpha1 \times P^{\alpha2}_r + (1 - \alpha1) \times P^{\alpha3}_r

where:

P_r = \frac{P-0.101}{P_b}
\alpha1 = A_0 \times SG^{A_1}_g \times Y^{A_2}_{oil_API} \times {(1.8 T- 459.67)}^{A_3} \times P^{A_3}_b

A0 = 1.8653e-4[2]
A1 = 1.672608
A2 = 0.929870
A3 = 0.247235
A4 = 1.056052

\alpha2 = B_0 \times SG^{B_1}_g \times Y^{B_2}_{oil_API} \times {(1.8 T - 459.67)}^{B_3} \times P^{B_4}_b

B0 = 0.1004[2]
B1 = -1.00475
B2 = 0.337711
B3 = 0.132795
B4 = 0.302065

\alpha3 = C_0 \times SG^{C_1}_g \times Y^{C_2}_{oil_API} \times {(1.8 T - 459.67)}^{C_3} \times P^{C_4}_b

C0 = 0.9167[2]
C1 = -1.48548
C2 = -0.164741
C3 = -0.09133
C4 = 0.047094

Example. Calculation of the solution gas oil ratio

Example source [3]

Input data

R_s = 60 sm3/sm3
SG_o = 0.85 or 35 API
SG_g = 0.75
T = 90C or 363K

Calculate bubble point pressure?

Solution

z1=-0.2422
z2=0.0294
z3=0.1122
z4=-0.0594

ln(P_b) = 2.4557
Pb = 11.65MPa or 115 atm

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

Application range

2.35 \le R_s \le 322
0.754 \le SG_o \le 0.989
0.555 \le SG_g \le 1.245
