Gas/Oil Interfacial Tension

Gas/Oil Interfacial Tension correlation was published by Baker and Swerdloff in 1956.

Math and Physics

\sigma_{68} =39 - 0.2571 SG_{oAPI}
\sigma_{100} =37.5 - 0.2571 SG_{oAPI}
At\ T<68F,\ \sigma_{od}=\sigma_{68}
At\ 68F<T<100F,\ \sigma_{od}=\frac{\sigma_{68} + (T - 68) * (\sigma_{100} - \sigma_{68})}{ (100 - 68)}
At\ T>100F,\ \sigma_{od}=\sigma_{100}
\sigma_{o}=\sigma_{od} \times (1-0.24P^{0.45})

The interfacial tension becomes zero at miscibility pressure. 1 dyne/cm is used for calculations, then it becomes less than 1.

if (\sigma_{o}<1) \sigma_{o}=1

Nomenclature

P = pressure, psia
\sigma_{o} = gas/oil interfacial tension, dynes/cm
\sigma_{od} = gas/oil interfacial tension for dead oil, dynes/cm
T = temperature, °F
