The formation water (brine) isothermal compressibility data is published in 1990 by McCain^[1].

Water compressibility data ^[1]

B_w = (1+\Delta V_{wP})(1+\Delta V_{wT})

^[1]

where

\Delta V_{wP} = -1.95301(10^{-9}) P T - 1.72834(10^{-13}) P^2 T - 3.58922(10^{-7}) P - 2.25341(10^{-10}) P^2

\Delta V_{wT} = -1.0001(10^{-2}) + 1.33391(10^{-4}) T + 5.50654(10^{-7}) T^2

The correlation is valid through the full range of solids concentrations, temperatures to 260F, and pressures to 5000psia^[2].

Example source ^[1]

Calculate water formation volume factor at 3176 psia and 165°F?

\Delta V_{wP} = -0.0047241

\Delta V_{wT} = 0.027

B_w = 1.022

B_w

= water formation volume factor, res bbl/STB

P

= pressure, psia

T

= Temperature, °F

\Delta V_{wP}

= pressure correction, res bbl/STB

\Delta V_{wT}

= temperature correction, res bbl/STB
