McCain Oil Formation Volume Factor equation in the PVT Software

Math & Physics

B_o = \frac{\rho_{STO}+1.22117R_s\gamma_g}{\rho_{oR}}[2]

Example. Calculation of the oil density

Example source [3]

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[4]:

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

B_o = oil formation volume factor, rm3/sm3
R_s = solution gas-oil ratio, sm3/sm3
SG_g = gas specific gravity, dimensionless
\rho_{oR} = oil density at reservoir conditions, kg/m3
\rho_{STO} = stock tank oil density, kg/m3
