Vasquez and Beggs Oil Compressibility correlation

Vasquez and Beggs is an empirical correlation for the oil compressibility published in 1980[1].

Vasquez and Beggs Oil Compressibility correlation in the PVT Software

Math & Physics

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

Example. Calculation of the oil formation volume factor

Example source [3]

Input data

R_s = 53.24 sm3/sm3 at P = 10 MPa
SG_o = 0.85 or 35 API
SG_g = 0.75
\rho_{oR} = 749 kg/m3 at P = 10 MPa

Calculate oil formation oil factor at p = 10 MPa?

Solution

B_o = 1.199 rm3/sm3

The solution is available in the online PVT calculator software model 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
21.1 \le T, C \le 160

Nomenclature

B_o = oil formation volume factor, rm3/sm3
R_s = solution gas-oil ratio, sm3/sm3
SG_g = gas specific gravity, dimensionless
SG_o = oil specific gravity, dimensionless
\rho_{oR} = oil density at reservoir conditions, kg/m3
\rho_{STO} = SG_o \times 1000 = stock tank oil density, kg/m3
