Brief

Beggs - Robinson is an empirical correlation for the oil viscosity published in 1975 [1].

Math & Physics

Dead oil viscosity:

\mu_{od} = 10^X-1

where:

X = T^{-1.163} \times e^{(13.108-6.591/SG_{o})}

Saturated oil viscosity:

\mu_{os} = A \mu_{od}^B

where:

A = 10.715\ (R_s + 100)^{-0.515}
B = 5.44\ (R_s + 150)^{-0.338}

Undersaturated oil viscosity:

\mu_{o} = \mu_{os} (P/P_b)^m [2]

where:

m = 2.6\ P^{1.187}\ e^{(-11.513-8.98 \times 10^{-5}\ P)}

Discussion

Application range

Nomenclature

P = pressure, psia
P_{b} = bubble point pressure, psia
R_s = oil gas ration, scf/stb
SG_o = oil specific gravity, dimensionless
T = temperature, °F
/mu = viscosity, cP
