PVT tool

Brief

PVT tool provides the basic input for any Petroleum Engineering calculation.

PVT tool calculates the main properties of oil, gas and water using a set of black-oil correlations.

PVT Tool

Main features

• Plots of PVT properties vs pressure at reservoir temperature.
• Output section contains values under reservoir conditions.
• Results section contains values under standard conditions and at pressures between surface atmospheric and reservoir at reservoir temperature

Interface features

• "Default values" button resets input values to the default values.
• Switch between Metric and Field units.
• Save/load models to the files and to the user’s cloud.
• Export pdf report containing input parameters, calculated values and plots of the PVT properties.
• Share models to the public cloud or by using model’s link.
• Continue your work from where you stopped: last saved model will be automatically opened.
• Download the chart as an image or data and print (upper-right corner chart’s button).
• Export results table to Excel or other application.
