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[2]

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\ (5.615\ R_s + 100)^{-0.515})
 B = 5.44\ ( 5.615\ R_s + 150)^{-0.338}

Nomenclature

 A_0..A_{2} = coefficients
 B_0..B_{2} = coefficients
 C_0..C_{2} = coefficients
 P = pressure, MPA
 P_{bp} = bubble point pressure, MPA
 R_s = oil gas ration, m3/m3
 SG_g = gas specific gravity, dimensionless
 T = temperature, °R
 Y_{oil_API} = oil API gravity, dimensionless
