McCain Oil Formation Volume Factor correlation

McCain correlation is an empirical correlation for the oil formation volume factor published in 1990 [1].

McCain Oil Formation Volume Factor correlation in the PVT Software

Math & Physics

B_o = \frac{\rho_{STO}+1.22117R_s\gamma_g}{\rho_{oR}}

Example. Calculation of the oil density

Example source [2]

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

Application range

Description of the Data Used[3]:

133 \le P_b \le 6,700
77 \le T \le 327
18 \le R_{sb} \le 1,975
0.76 \le SG_o \le 0.95
0.556 \le SG_g \le 1.237
31.3 \le \rho_{ob} \le 55.77

Number of data sets = 684

Nomenclature

c_o = oil compressibility, 1/psia
P = pressure, psia
R_s = solution gas-oil ratio, scf/stb
SG_g = gas specific gravity, dimensionless
SG_{gSP} = gas specific gravity at separator pressure, dimensionless
SG_o = oil specific gravity, dimensionless
T = temperature, °F
\rho_{a} = apparent density of surface gas if it were a liquid, lbm/ft3
\rho_{ob} = liquid density at the bubble point pressure, lbm/ft3
\rho_{bs} = liquid density at reservoir pressure and 60°F, lbm/ft3
\rho_o = oil density, lbm/ft3
\rho_{po} = pseudoliquid formed by recombination of surface gas and liquid at standard conditions, lbm/ft3
\triangle \rho_{P} = adjustment to liquid density due to pressure, lbm/ft3
\triangle \rho_{T} = adjustment to liquid density due to temperature, lbm/ft3

Subscripts

b - bubble point
g - gas
o - oil
