Water formation volume factor

The water formation volume factor represents the change in volume of the brine as it is transported from the reservoir conditions to surface conditions[1].

The units are reservoir barrels per surface barrel at standard conditions, res bbl/STB.

Water formation volume factor correlation in the PVT software at pengtools.com

Math and Physics

 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

Application range

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