Gas/Oil Interfacial Tension

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

Gas/Oil Interfacial Tension correlation in the PVT software at pengtools.com

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}=\sigma_{68} + \frac{(T - 68) * (\sigma_{100} - \sigma_{68})}{ (100 - 68)}
At\ T>100F,\ \sigma_{od}=\sigma_{100}
 \sigma_{o}=\sigma_{od} \times (1-0.024P^{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
 SG_{oAPI} = oil specific gravity, °API
 \sigma_{o} = gas/oil interfacial tension, dynes/cm
 \sigma_{od} = gas/oil interfacial tension for dead oil, dynes/cm
