ABSTRACT
Calculations of reservoir performance for petroleum reservoirs require accurate
knowledge of the volumetric behavior of hydrocarbon mixtures, both liquid and gaseous.
Coefficient of Isothermal oil compressibility is required in transient fluid flow problems,
extension of fluid properties from values at the bubble point pressure to higher pressures of
interest and in material balance calculations38, 35. Coefficient of Isothermal oil compressibility is a
measure of the fractional change in volume as pressure is changed at constant temperature29.
Coefficients of isothermal oil compressibility are usually obtained from reservoir fluid
analysis. Reservoir fluid analysis is an expensive and time consuming operation that is not always
available when the volumetric properties of reservoir fluids are needed. For this reason
correlations have been developed and are being developed for predicting fluid properties
including the coefficient of isothermal oil compressibility.
This project developed a mathematical model for predicting the coefficient of isothermal
oil compressibility based on Peng-Robinson Equation of State (PR EOS). A computer program
was developed to predict the coefficient of isothermal compressibility using the developed model.
The predicted coefficient of isothermal oil compressibility closely matches the experimentally
derived coefficient of isothermal compressibility.

CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
1.1.Background Information
The coefficient of isothermal compressibility is defined as the fractional change
of fluid volume per unit change in pressure at constant reservoir temperature1. The
coefficient of isothermal oil compressibility, co, is usually determined from the pressure-
volume measurements of reservoir fluids. These data are usually obtained from reservoir
fluid analysis. A convenient method of estimating the coefficient of isothermal
compressibility for reservoir fluids for a finite change in pressure and volume is to use
this simple equation41.
V1 V2
co = (1.1)
V1 (p 2 p1 )
Normally, an increase in fluid pressure (p2 > p1) causes the fluid volume to
decrease (V1 > V2). Hence the negative sign, to make the value of the isothermal
compressibility positive.
Isothermal compressibility is usually recorded for gas, oil, water and rock. In
order to have the number on the same basis, compressibility is recorded in 10-6 for
convenience. The unit of isothermal compressibility is the reciprocal of psi, psi-1,
sometimes called sip. A value of 10-6 psi-1 is called a microsip.
Equation 1.1 is useful in approximating the isothermal compressibility of single
phase gases and liquids undergoing small pressure changes. This assumption has a
1
definite limitation when the compressibility varies during small pressure changes. It is
further limited over large pressure changes by confusion over whether the denominator
should be V1 or V2, or some value in between41. To overcome this limitation, equation
1.1 is usually expressed in partial differential form at constant temperature, as follows
1 V
co = (1.2)
V p T
Equation 1.2, defines the instantaneous coefficient of isothermal compressibility
of a substance at a point on an isothermal pressure-volume curve for that substance.
Based on equation 1.2, the coefficient of isothermal compressibility is defined as the
fractional change of volume as pressure is changed at constant temperature.
The isothermal oil compressibility is a point function and it can be calculated
from the slope of a pressure versus specific volume curve, or from the differentiation of
an equation of state, or a correlation involving compressibility factor z, density or

26, 10
formation volume factor . There are also a number of correlations that are available
to calculate the isothermal compressibility.
To construct a curve of pressure versus specific volume, the pressure and volume
data required are acquired from laboratory studies on reservoir samples collected from
the bottom of the wellbore and from the surface. Such experimental data are not always
available because of one or more of the following reasons: (i) reservoir samples collected
are not reliable. (ii) samples have not been taken because of cost savings. (iii) PVT
analyses are not available when data are needed. (iv) obtaining an accurate PVT behavior
of each reservoir fluid encountered will be costly and time-consuming. In such cases
2
when the experimental data are not available, PVT properties such as the isothermal oil
compressibility are determined from empirically derived correlations or equation of state.
There has been a lot of work in the last 50 years on the derivation of PVT
correlations. However, each of these correlations is applicable to a good degree of
reliability only in a well-defined range of reservoir fluid characteristics. This is due to the
fact that each correlation has been developed based on fluid samples from a restricted
geographical area, with similar fluid compositions and API gravity16. Some correlations
are also applicable only at a well-defined range of temperature and pressure.
Methods of predicting reservoir properties and performance, particularly those
based on the compositional-material-balance depend on the capability of accurately
expressing reservoir fluid properties as functions of pressure, temperature and
composition10. An equation of state has been defined as an analytical expression relating
the pressure to the volume and temperature. Equation of state (EOS) is used to describe
the volumetric behavior, the vapor/liquid equilibra (VLE) and thermal properties of pure
substances and mixtures3.
The equation of state has to be expressed in the form of the defining equation for
the particular reservoir properties it is describing. For the isothermal compressibility, the
equation of state is expressed in volume and partially differentiated with respect to
pressure at constant temperature. Also, since the evaluation of the isothermal
compressibility involves the derivatives of the volumetric data, the possible deviation in
these quantities is much greater than is encountered with the volumetric data only.
3
Accordingly, if the derived quantities are to be obtained from an equation for volume, it
is essential that the error be reduced to a minimum10.
Since the introduction of the equation of state by Van der Waals, many equation
of state (EOS) having the form of Van der Waals equation have been proposed. Two of
the most common and popularly accepted EOS is the Redlich-Kwong (RK EOS) and
Peng Robinson (PR EOS) EOS. The Redlich-Kwong equation has been the most popular
basis for developing new EOSs. Several modifications of the Redlich-Kwong equation
have found acceptance, with Soaves modification (SRK EOS) being the simplest and the
most widely used. Another trend has been to propose generalized three-, four-, and five
constant cubic equations that can be simplified into the PR EOS, RK EOS and other
familiar forms44, pp 47
. The Lawal-Lake-Siberberg (LLS EOS) EOS is a four parameter
EOS, which can be reduced to both the PR EOS and the RK EOS. The equation of state
used in this study to generate the isothermal compressibility for reservoir fluids are the
PR EOS and modified PR EOS.
1.2 Importance of Isothermal Oil Compressibility
Isothermal compressibility is used in a wide range of calculations involving
production and exploration of hydrocarbon reservoirs. Some of the reservoir
engineering applications for the isothermal compressibility include well testing analysis
and metering18.
Isothermal compressibility is required in all solutions of transient flow problems.
Solutions of pressure buildup and drawdown problems contain a parameter called the
4
total system isothermal compressibility. Calculations of the total system isothermal
compressibility involve the evaluation of the isothermal compressibility coefficient for
reservoir fluids as well as the compressibility of the formation. The total system
isothermal compressibility is expressed as,
c t = c oSo + c w S w + c g Sg + c f (1.3)
ct= Total Isothermal Compressibility, psi-1
co= Coefficient of Isothermal Oil Compressibility, psi-1
cg= Coefficient of Isothermal Gas Compressibility, psi-1
cw= Coefficient of Isothermal Water Compressibility, psi-1
cf= Formation Compressibility, psi-1
So= Oil Saturation, fraction
Sw= Water Saturation, fraction
Sg= Gas Saturation, fraction
The use of accurate total system compressibility in a properly-executed buildup
and drawdown analyses includes35:
o Better planning of pressure build-ups may be achieved to avoid unnecessary

loss of revenue due to excessively long shut-in periods, or to shut-in periods too
short to yield useable data. For example the equation to estimate the time at
which the boundary effect can be felt in a pressure drawdown test is given as:
c t A
t eia = (t DA )eia (1.4)
0.0002637k
teia = Time to end the infinite-acting period, hours
A = Well drainage area, ft2
5
ct = Total Compressibility, psi-1
(tDA)eia = Dimensionless time to the end of the infinite-acting period
k = Permeability, md
= Porosity, fraction
= Viscosity, cp
o Better and more reliable estimates of the static reservoir pressure for reserves
estimate and rate performance estimates.
o Reliable information for evaluation of well completion effectiveness, and

planning and interpretation of well stimulation efforts.
The isothermal compressibility coefficient is also essentially the controlling factor
in identifying the type of reservoir fluid. Reservoir fluids are generally classified into
three groups:
o Incompressible fluids These are fluids whose volume does not change with
pressure i.e. the values of the coefficient of isothermal compressibility for these
fluids are constant. Incompressible fluid does not exist; however, this behavior
may be assumed in some cases to simplify the derivation and the final form of
flow equations.
o Slightly Compressible fluids These slightly compressible fluids exhibit

small changes in volume, or density, with changes in pressure i.e. there is a
slight change in the coefficient of isothermal compressibility with changes in
pressure. Crude oil and formation water are slightly compressible fluids.
o Compressible fluids These fluids experiences a large change in volume as a

function of a change in pressure i.e. the coefficient of isothermal compressibility
changes drastically with a change in pressure5.

Isothermal oil compressibility is also used in the material balance equation for
undersaturated oil reservoirs, i.e. reservoirs that the initial reservoir pressure is greater
than the bubble point pressure. This material balance equation can be used to estimate
the initial reserve and predict future production. The material balance equation for
undersaturated oil reservoir is expressed as:
NB oi c e (p i p ) = N p B o We + B w Wp
(1.5)
So c o + S w c w + c f
ce =
B oi (p i p ) (1.6)
N = Initial Oil in Place, STB
Boi = Initial Oil Formation Volume Factor, bbl/STB
ce= Effective Compressibility, psi-1
pi = Initial Reservoir Pressure, psi

p = Reservoir Pressure, psi
Np = Cumulative Oil Produced, STB
Bo = Formation Volume Factor, bbl/STB
Bw = Water Formation Volume Factor, bbl/STB
We = Water Influx, bbl
Wp = Water Produced, STB
The isothermal compressibility is used also for the extension of fluid properties
from correlations starting at the bubble point pressure to pressures above the bubble
point pressure. This application is used for black oil reservoir simulation38. The
coefficient of isothermal compressibility can be used to estimate the formation volume
factor and oil density at higher pressures from their calculated values at bubble point.
This can be shown by the following equations:
B o = B ob e (co (p b p )) (1.7)
o = ob e (co (p p b )) (1.8)
The isothermal compressibility is an important physical property in the design of
high-pressure surface equipments7. Compressibility is important in the design of
process equipment handling liquids at high pressure. The determination of the
isothermal compressibility has specific applications in the transfer of crude oil
containing dissolved gas components from a reservoir to a gas-oil separation plant and
the pipeline transportation of degassed liquids such as crude oils and refined products.
8
Experimental data for the isothermal compressibility of such mixtures are seldom
available11.
1.3 Scope of the Project
The scope of this project is to develop a mathematical model based on two cubic
equations of states (PR EOS and Modified PR EOS) that can predict the isothermal oil
compressibility with a good degree of accuracy at pressures below and above the
bubble point.
1.4 Objectives of the Project
The objective of this project is to design an equation of state based mathematical
model that be used to predict the coefficient of isothermal compressibility for reservoir
fluids. This equation will allow the coefficient of isothermal compressibility to vary
with both pressure and composition.

CHAPTER II
COEFFICIENT OF ISOTHERMAL OIL COMPRESSIBILITY
2.1 Defining Equations for Isothermal Oil Compressibility
In petroleum engineering calculations, the coefficient of isothermal
compressibility is required for oil, gas, water and the formation. These coefficients are
usually combined as the total system compressibility. The coefficient of isothermal
compressibility for oil, gas and water is defined as the fractional change in volume per
unit change in pressure at constant temperature.
2.1.1 The Coefficient of Isothermal Compressibility for Reservoir Gases
Fluid compressibility varies with pressure and temperature and the knowledge of
these variations is essential in reservoir engineering calculations. Liquid phase
compressibility is usually small and usually assumed constant. The coefficient of
isothermal compressibility for reservoir liquids tends to be pressure sensitive but not
nearly so much as the reservoir gas41. Therefore the gas phase compressibility is neither
small nor constant.
The isothermal gas compressibility is the change in volume per unit volume for a
unit change in pressure at constant temperature2 p. 106. This is expressed as29 p. 170,
1 V
cg =

cg = Isothermal Gas Compressibility, psi-1
V = Gas Volume, cubic feet or bbl
v = Specific Volume, cubic feet/kg or bbl/lb
Vm = Molar Volume, bbl/lb-mole
The isothermal gas compressibility increases as the reservoir pressure decreases.
The typical relationship of the isothermal gas compressibility with reservoir pressure is
shown in the Figure 2.1.

11
The partial derivative is used in equation 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3 rather than the ordinary
derivative because the volume varies only with the pressure while the temperature is
held constant.
2.1.1.1 Isothermal Gas Compressibility of an Ideal Gas29 p. 172
Equation of state for ideal gas is usually combined with the equation for the
isothermal gas compressibility to increase its usefulness. The ideal gas equation is
given as:
pV = nRT (2.4)
In terms of volume,
nRT
V=
p (2.5)
Differentiating equation 2.5, with respect to pressure yields,
V nRT
= 2
p T p
(2.6)
Therefore the isothermal gas compressibility equation for ideal gases can be expressed
as;
1 nRT
c g = 2
V p (2.7)
Substituting for V in equation 2.7, yields;
12
p nRT 1
cg = 2 =
nRT p p (2.8)
where
n= Number of Moles, lb-mole
R = Universal Gas Constant, (psi, cu ft)/ (lb mole oR)
T = Temperature, oR
p = Pressure, psi
Equation 2.8 shows that the isothermal gas compressibility for ideal gas is
inversely proportional to pressure. Though the ideal gas equation does not adequately
describe the behavior of gases at the temperatures and pressures normally encountered
in reservoir engineering, equation 2.8 can be used to estimate the order of magnitude of
the isothermal gas compressibility.
2.1.1.2 Isothermal Gas Compressibility of Real Gas29, p. 173
The real gas equation of state is commonly used in petroleum engineering
calculations. The real gas equation can be used to model the isothermal gas
compressibility for real gases. The gas deviation factor or the compressibility factor (z)
varies with pressure, therefore it is considered as a variable.
The real gas equation of state is given as;
pV = znRT (2.9)
13
This real gas equation can be expressed in terms of volume, to yield;
z
V = nRT
p (2.10)
Differentiating equation 2.10 in terms of pressure at constant temperature yields;
V 1 z z
= nRT 2
p T p p T p (2.11)
Substituting equation 2.11 into equation 2.1 yields;
p 1 z z
c g = nRT
2
znRT p p T p
(2.12)
Simplifying equation 2.12 yields;
1 1 z
cg =
p z p T
(2.13)
z
The partial derivative can be determined from the slope of z-factor plotted
p T
against pressure at constant temperature. It can be observed from Figure 2.2 that at low
pressures, the z-factor decreases as pressure increases, causing the slope to be negative
thus making the cg larger than the case of an ideal gas. At high pressures, the z-factor
increases with increasing pressure, therefore the slope of the z-factor chart will be
positive; thus the values of cg will be smaller than the case of an ideal gas.
14

Processors Suppliers Association. Published in the GPSA Engineering Data Book,
Tenth Edition, 1987.2 p. 92
15
For an ideal gas, z-factor is a constant with a value of 1.0. Therefore the value of
the partial derivative of z-factor with respect to pressure at constant temperature equal
to zero. Therefore equation 2.13 reduces to equation 2.8.
2.1.1.3 Isothermal Pseudo-reduced Compressibility29 p. 175
The law of corresponding state states that all pure gases have the same z-factor at
the same values of reduced pressure and reduced temperature. The reduced property of
a substance is the value of that property divided by the critical property for the
substance.
The law of corresponding states can be used to express the isothermal gas
compressibility equation in reduced form. The chain rule is used to express the partial
derivative of the z-factor with respect to pressure in reduced form.
z p z
= Pr (2.14)
p T p p Pr
The pseudo-reduced pressure is expressed as;
p = p pc p pr
(2.15)
The derivative of the pseudo-reduced pressure with respect to pressure is
expressed as;
p pr 1
=
p p pc (2.16)
Substituting equation 2.16 into equation 2.14 gives;
16
z 1 z

=
p T p pc p pr
(2.17)
Substituting equation 2.17 and equation 2.15 into equation 2.13 gives;
1 1 z

cg =
p pc p pr zp pc p pr
Tpr
(2.18)
This can be better expressed in dimensionless pseudo-reduced compressibility cpr
as;
1 1 z

c pr = c g p pc =
p pr z p pr
Tpr
(2.19)
Where
cpr = Isothermal Pseudo-reduced Compressibility
ppc = Pseudo-critical pressure, psi
ppr = Pseudo-reduced pressure
Tpr = Pseudo-reduced temperature
Trube41 (1957) presented graphs (Figures 2.3 and 2.4) from which the isothermal
compressibility of natural gases may be obtained. The graphs give the isothermal
pseudo-reduced compressibility as a function of pseudo-reduced temperature and
pressure.

2.1.2 The Coefficient of Isothermal Oil Compressibility29 p. 231
The isothermal oil compressibility is required in the determination of the physical
properties of the undersaturated crude oil. Isothermal oil compressibility is usually
determined from a laboratory reservoir fluid study. At pressures above the bubble point,
the isothermal oil compressibility is defined exactly as the coefficient of isothermal
compressibility of a gas. At pressures below the bubble point, there is the presence of
free gas in the reservoir; therefore an additional term must be added to account for the
volume of gas which evolves.
2.1.2.1 Isothermal Oil Compressibility at Pressures above the Bubble point
The isothermal oil compressibility, co at pressures above the bubble point is
defined as the fractional change in volume of oil as pressure is changed at constant
temperature. The isothermal oil compressibility is expressed as29 p. 231;
1 V
co =
V p T
(2.20)
where
co = Isothermal Oil Compressibility of crude oil, psi-1
The isothermal oil compressibility at pressures above the bubble point is virtually
constant except at pressures near the bubble point. The typical relationship of co with
pressure above the bubble point pressure is shown in Figure 2.5.

Formation volume factor, Bo can be substituted directly into equation 2.20 as;

Equation 2.22 can be integrated as co is assumed to be constant at pressures above

These results in;
B o = B ob e [c o (p b p )] (2.24)

Equation 2.24 is used to calculate the formation volume factor at pressures above
the bubble point.
The isothermal oil compressibility can also be written in terms of density. The
isothermal oil compressibility in terms of specific volume v is written as;
1 v
c o =
v p T
(2.25)
The density of oil, o is related to the specific volume, v by;
1
v=
o (2.26)
Chain rule can be used to obtain the partial derivative of the specific volume with
respect to pressure at constant temperature.
v v o

Differentiating equation 2.26 with respect to density yields;
v 1

Substituting equations 2.28, 2.27 and 2.26 into equation 2.25 gives;

Thus,

21
Assuming constant co at pressures above the bubble point, equation 2.30 can be
integrated to give 29 p. 234;
o = ob e [c o (p p b )] (2.31)
Equation 2.31 can be used to calculate the density of oil at pressures above the
bubble point. The density at the bubble point is the starting point.
2.1.2.2. Isothermal Oil Compressibility at Pressures below the Bubble Point
When reservoir pressure is below the bubble point pressure, there is the presence
of free gas in the reservoir. These types of reservoir are called saturated oil reservoirs.
The total change in volume as pressure is changed must account for the effect of the
solution gas.
The fractional change in volume per unit pressure change at constant temperature
is expressed as:
1 V 1 B o
co = =
V p T Bo p T (2.32)
The oil formation volume factor (Bo) contains the effect of the solution gas (Rs)
on the change in liquid phase volume35. The effect of the change in the solution gas on
the liquid volume as pressure is reduced below the bubble point must be added to
equation 2.32.
The change in the solution gas oil ratio is expressed as:
B g R s

B o p T (2.33)
22
Thus the isothermal oil compressibility at pressures below the bubble point
pressure is expressed as27.
1 B o Bg R s
co = +
Bo p T Bo p T (2.34)
This is better expressed as;
1 B o R
co = B g s
Bo p T p T (2.35)
where
Rs= Solution gas-oil ratio, Scf/STB
Bg = Gas formation volume factor, res bbl/Scf
Bo = Oil formation volume factor, res bbl/STB
Equation 2.35 is consistent with the equation for calculating the isothermal
compressibility at pressures above the bubble point; because at pressures above the
bubble point pressure the gas solubility is constant and the derivative of Rs with
pressure is zero.
The typical relationship of the isothermal oil compressibility as a function of
reservoir pressure shows a discontinuity at the bubble point pressure (Figure 2.6). This
discontinuity is caused by the large increase in the value of the isothermal
compressibility at the evolution of the first bubble of gas.

2.2 Isothermal Compressibility Correlation and Computation Methods
Laboratory PVT analysis is used to acquire data that are used in the estimation of
the isothermal compressibility from the equations given above. Values of the fluid
properties including the isothermal compressibility are often required when laboratory
PVT data are not available. Thus, there are a number of developed correlations for the
estimation of the isothermal compressibility using readily available fluid properties.
2.2.1 Trubes Correlation42
As shown in figures 2.3, 2.4 and 2.7, Trube42 (1957) presented a correlation for
estimating the pseudo reduced compressibility cr, for natural gases and undersaturated
crude oils. The pseudo reduced compressibility was correlated with the pseudo reduced
temperature and pressure, ppr and Tpr. Trubes graphical correlation can be used to
24
estimate the isothermal compressibility at any pseudo reduced temperature and
pressure. The relationship between the pseudo reduced isothermal compressibility and
the isothermal compressibility is expressed as:
c r = c o p pc (2.36)
where
cr = Pseudo reduced compressibility, dimensionless
co = Isothermal Oil Compressibility, psi-1
ppc = Pseudo-critical pressure, psi
Figure 2.7 Trubes pseudo reduced compressibility of undersaturated crude oils42
25
2.2.2 Vasquez-Beggs Correlation43
Vasquez and Beggs43 (1980) developed a correlation for the isothermal oil
compressibility with the gas solubility Rs, reservoir temperature T, APIo gravity, gas
specific gravity g and reservoir pressure p. They proposed the following expression:
1433 + 5R s + 17.2(T 460) 1180 gs + 12.61 API

co =
10 5 p (2.37)
Vasquez and Beggs proposed that the value of the gas specific gravity g obtained
at the separator pressure of 100 psig be used for the above equation. This reference
pressure was chosen because it represents the average reservoir field separator pressure.
They also proposed the relationship for adjustment of the gas gravity g to the reference
separator pressure gs.
p sep
gs = g 1 + 5.912(10 5 )( API )(Tsep 460)Log
114.7 (2.38)
where
gs = gas gravity at the reference separator pressure
g = gas gravity at the actual separator conditions of psep and Tsep
psep = actual separator pressure, psi
Tsep = actual separator temperature, oR
This correlation is also represented in a graphical form (Figure 2.8). This is the
best available correlation considering both accuracy and ease of use. The results are
generally low by as much as 50 percent at high pressures29. Accuracy is increased as
the bubble point pressure is approached.

2.2.3 McCain et al Correlation for Isothermal Oil Compressibility at Pressures above
the Bubble Point
The work of McCain30 (1988) presented a correlation for estimating the
isothermal oil compressibility at pressures below the bubble point. The correlation is
expressed as:
ln(c o ) = 7.633 1.497ln(p ) + 1.115ln(T ) + 0.533ln( API ) + 0.184ln(R sb ) (2.39)
The results are accurate to within 10% at pressures above 500 psia. Below 500
psia, the accuracy is within 20%. If the bubble point pressure is known, the accuracy of
the correlation can be improved by using this expression proposed by McCain28 :
ln(c o ) = 7.573 1.450ln(p ) 0.383ln(p b ) + 1.402ln(T ) + 0.256ln( API ) + 0.449ln(R sb )

(2.40)
This correlation is also expressed graphically in Figure 2.9:

2.2.4 Ahmeds Correlation
Ahmed4 (1985) used 245 experimental data points to propose a mathematical
expression for the isothermal oil compressibility using the gas solubility Rs as the only
correlating parameter. Other correlating parameter such as o, g, and T are
implemented in the equation through the gas solubility Rs5.
The correlation is expressed as:
1
co = e (a 3 p ) (2.41)
a1 + a 2R s
where
a1 = 24841.0822
a2 = 14.07428745
a3 = -0.00018473
The average absolute error of this expression is given as 3.9 percent when tested
against the experimental data used in developing the equation. The isothermal oil
compressibility can also be determined from this expression:

a3 = -0.0001847272

This correlation only applies for isothermal oil compressibility at pressures above
the bubble point pressure.
2.2.5 De Ghetto et al Correlations15
De Ghetto et al15 (1994) evaluated the reliability of some PVT correlations and
came up with some modified correlations which they reported as being more accurate.
They characterized the fluid samples used in their studies as extra-heavy oils
(oAPI 10), heavy oils (10 < oAPI 22.3), medium oils (22.3 < oAPI 31.1) and light
oils (oAPI > 31.1). They reported that the errors on the correlations were decreased by
about five percentage points. The most significant improvements for the entire sample
of the oils were from 24.5% to 19.8%. The modified correlations were given as:

CHAPTER III
DESIGN OF CUBIC EQUATION OF STATE
3.1 Generalized Cubic Equation of State
3.1.1 Equation of state
Equation of state can be defined as a mathematical expression that relates pressure
p, volume V and Temperature T. The simplest form of an equation of state (EOS) is the
ideal gas equation.
RT
p=
V (3.1)
where V = gas volume in ft3 per mole of gas
The ideal gas equation is only used at pressures close to the atmospheric pressure
where real gas behavior can be assumed to be ideal.
The behavior of most real gases cannot be predicted by the ideal gas equation;
therefore a correction factor, called the compressibility factor or the gas deviation factor
is inserted into the ideal gas equation.
zRT
p=
V (3.2)
where, z = gas deviation factor.
35
3.1.2 Van der Waals (VDW) EOS
In developing the ideal gas equation of state, the following assumptions were
made;
o The volume occupied by the molecules of the gas is insignificant compared to

the volume occupied by the gas.
o There are no attractive and repulsive forces between the molecules of the gas or
between the molecules of the gas and the walls of the container.
o All collisions of the gas molecules are perfectly elastic.
In 1873, Van der Waal improved the ideal gas equation by attempting to eliminate
the first two assumptions of the ideal gas equation. Van der Wall introduced the
a
parameter and b to account for the intermolecular attractive and repulsive forces
V2
respectively.

Fig. 3.1: Volumetric Behavior of Pure Compounds by Van der Waal Cubic EOS13 pp 133.
The Van der Waal cubic EOS may give three real roots for volume V, or the
compressibility factor z, at pressure P1, as shown in Figure 3.1. The highest value, V1 or
z1, corresponds to the volume or the compressibility factor of the vapor, while the
lowest value, V3 or z3 corresponds to the volume or compressibility factor of the liquid.
The middle root within the two phase region, V2 or z2, is of no physical significance.
37
It can also be observed from Figure 3.1 that at the critical point C, the critical
temperature isotherm Tc has a horizontal point of inflection as it passes through the
critical pressure. Therefore at the critical point of a pure substance,

3.1.5 Modified Peng-Robinson Equation of State
The parameters a and b in the Peng-Robinson cubic EOS is constant, as
shown in equation 3.15 and equation 3.16. To account for the effect of each component
in the mixture on the parameters, the parameters a and b in the Peng-Robinson
cubic EOS is replaced with the parameters a and b in the LLS EOS to create a
Modified PR EOS.
3.1.6 Mixing Rules.
Equation of state are applied to multi-component systems by the use of mixing
rules to calculate the constant terms of the EOS (a, b, , ) that will represent the multi-
component system. The mixture parameters used in the study are defined as,

The binary interaction parameter is generally determined by minimizing the
difference between predicted and experimental data. A binary interaction parameter
should therefore be considered as a fitting parameter and not a rigorous physical term13.
The interaction parameters between hydrocarbon systems with little difference in size
are generally considered to be unity, but values of the binary interaction parameters for
non-hydrocarbonhydrocarbon system may not be 1. For this study the binary
interaction parameter is taken as unity, because the reservoir fluids used in the study
does not have significant amount of non-hydrocarbons.

3.2 Characterization of Heavy Petroleum Fractions
To determine the properties of the heptane-plus (C7+), which account for the
heavy component in the multi-component reservoir fluid system, we use a correlation
proposed by Lawal-Tododo-Heinze40.
The correlation expressed the critical pressure (Pc), critical temperature (Tc),
acentric factor (), boiling point (Tb) and critical z-factor (zc) as a function of the
pseudo-component as a function of apparent molecular weight (M) and specific gravity
(Sg) of the pseudo-component.

3.3 Cubic EOS Based Isothermal Compressibility Equation
Coefficient of isothermal compressibility can be obtained by differentiating an
equation of state or any correlation involving compressibility factor z, density or
formation volume factor10. In 1968 Kennedy H. T. and Avasthi S. M10 proposed a
43
method to develop an equation for predicting the molar volume and the coefficient of
isothermal compressibility by differentiation a cubic EOS in terms of volume. They
developed a correlation to express the differentiated volume.
The approach in this research is to develop a mathematical model that can predict
the coefficient of isothermal compressibility based on a Peng-Robinson EOS.
3.3.1 Coefficient of Isothermal Compressibility at Pressures above the Bubble Point

Pressure.
The coefficient of Isothermal Compressibility oil compressibility is defined as the
fractional change in oil volume per unit change in pressure at constant temperature. At
pressures above the bubble point pressure, the reservoir fluid is undersaturated. At point
A in Figure 3.2 there is no free gas in the system.

44
The coefficient of isothermal compressibility at this point is given as stated in
equation 2.20,
1 V
co =
V p T
(2.20)
The approach to this research is to express the EOS in the volume form (which is
cubic) to determine the molar volume of the reservoir oil at any given pressure. This
1
will enable us to determine part of equation 2.20. If the cubic EOS in terms of
V
volume gives three real roots, as explained in section 3.1.2 and Figure 3.1, the smallest
root corresponds to the volume of the oil.
V
The second step is to differentiate the EOS to obtain the term of
p T
equation 2.20. That is we differentiate the EOS in terms of volume with respect to
1 V
pressure at constant temperature. The two terms and are then
V p T
multiplied to give the coefficient of isothermal compressibility at pressures above the
bubble point.
3.3.1.1 Peng-Robinson (PR) EOS based Isothermal Compressibility Equation
The PR EOS is given in equation 3.12 as,

RT a 2bRT RTb 2 ab
V 3 b V 2 + 3b 2 V + b 3 + = 0
p p p p p
(3.13)
A computer algorithm was written to solve for the volume of the undersaturated
oil using equation 3.13. The procedure for calculating the volume is stated below.
o Read in the temperature T (oR), pressure p (psia) and the universal gas constant
R (psia cu ft/lb mole/oR).
o Calculate the EOS parameter a and b for the multi-component system.
o Determine the coefficient of the cubic equation (equation 3.13).
o Determine the roots equation 3.13. If there are three real roots, the smallest root
corresponds to the root of the multi-component oil system.
The differential of the volume with respect to pressure at constant temperature for
the PR EOS is given as,
V

( 2
(
V b ) V 2 + 2bV b 2 )
2
2
(
p T 2a (V + b )(V b ) RT V 2 + 2bV b 2 )
2
(3.43)
There are no unknowns in equation 3.43. The volume has already been
determined from equation 3.13. The universal gas constant R and the reservoir
temperature T are known. The PR EOS parameters a and b can be calculated using
the critical properties and the mixing rules.
Therefore the PR EOS based mathematical model for predicting the coefficient of
isothermal compressibility at pressures above the bubble point can be written as,
1
co =

(
(V b ) V 2 + 2bV b 2 )

3.3.1.2 Modified Peng-Robinson (PR) EOS based Isothermal Compressibility Equation
In order to modify the PR EOS, the constant parameters in the PR EOS, that is the
parameters a and b are calculated using the LLS EOS definition for the parameters
a and b. The definitions for these constant parameters are given in equations 3.21,
3.22, 3.23, 3.24, 3.25, 3.26 and 3.27.
3.3.2 Coefficient of Isothermal Compressibility at Pressures below the Bubble Point

Pressure.
At pressures below the bubble point curve (point B on Figure 3.3), there are free
gases in the reservoir fluids and the system is described as a saturated system.

Figure 3.3: Reservoir Oil at Pressure below the Bubble Point Pressure
For saturated system the total volume of the system is the sum of the volume of
the gas and the volume of the liquid. Therefore the total system isothermal
compressibility has to account for the free gas in the system.
47
At pressures below the bubble point pressure the volume of liquid decreases with
reduction in pressure, contrary to the behavior at pressures above the bubble. Therefore
the coefficient for isothermal oil compressibility at pressure below the bubble point
pressure can be expressed as point29 p. 235,

Equation 3.45 was used to analyze the experimental differential liberation data to
calculate the coefficient of isothermal compressibility at pressures below the bubble

system as shown by Figure 3.4.

Figure 3.4: Schematic Diagram of Flash Liberation Experiment

To determine the volume of the gas and the volume of the liquid at pressures
below the bubble point, flash calculations were conducted to simulate the flash
liberation (or constant composition experiment).
The flash liberation experiment involves putting a sample of reservoir fluid in a
laboratory cell. The pressure and temperature of the cell is set at the initial condition of
the reservoir. The pressure in the laboratory cell is reduced in increments and the
volume of the cell is measured. The measured volume is then plotted against pressure.
The bubble point pressure is the pressure at which the slope of the graph changes. The
volume at the bubble point pressure is the saturation volume Vsat. Flash calculations
were used to determine the amount (in moles) and the composition of hydrocarbon
liquid and gas co-existing at the same temperature and pressure.
The criterion for thermodynamic equilibrium between two phases is determined
by the fugacities of the components in each of the phases. The fugacity of a component
in one phase with respect to the fugacity of the component in another is a measure of
the potential for the transfer of the component from one phase to the other. The
component moves from the phase with the lower fugacity to the phase with the higher
fugacity. When the fugacities of the component in the two phases are equal, there is no
net transfer of the component between the two phases. The condition for
thermodynamic equilibrium is achieved when there is zero net transfer between the two
phases2 pp 305.
The procedure for calculating the equilibrium amount (in moles) and the
equilibrium composition of the vapor and liquid phase at temperatures below the
49
bubble point is stated below. The procedure is also referred to a two phase flash
calculations.
o Calculate the initial equilibrium ratio values (K-values) using Wilson45 (1968)
correlation.

K i = ci e
(3.46)

o Calculate Nvmin (minimum number of moles of the vapor phase) and Nvmax
(maximum number of moles of the vapor phase). Nvmin should be less than zero,
while Nvmax should be greater than one.

N vmin =

N vmax =
1 K imin (3.48)
o Solve the Rachford-Rice flash algorithm to calculate Nv (total number of moles

in the vapor phase), limited between Nvmin and Nvmax.
o Assume an initial value for Nv (say Nv = 0.5)
o Evaluate Nv by using Newton-Raphson iteration technique.

Where zi is the mole fraction component i in the original mixture and n, is the
iteration counter. If f(nv) is equal to zero use bisection method to evaluate Nv.

o Calculate the mole fraction of component i in the liquid phase xi

o Calculate the mole fraction of the component in the vapor phase yi.

( ) ( )
z (1 B)z 2 + A 3B 2 2B z AB B 2 B 3 = 0

The mole fraction of the vapor is used in the calculation of the z-factor of the
vapor. If three real roots are obtained from equation 3.14, the largest root
corresponds to the root of the vapor. The mole fraction of the liquid is used in the
calculation of the z-factor of the liquid. It three real roots are obtained for the z-
factor of the liquid; the smallest real root corresponds to the root of the liquid.
o The component fugacities of the liquid fLi and the vapor phase fVi are
calculated from the EOS.

3.3.2.2 Coefficient of Isothermal Gas compressibility below Bubble Point Pressure
The defining equation for the coefficient of isothermal gas compressibility is
given in equation 2.13,
1 1 z
cg =

(2.13)
The partial differential of compressibility factor with respect to pressure at
constant temperature for the PR EOS is derived as,

Equation 2.13 can thus be used to calculate the coefficient of isothermal gas
compressibility, since the pressure p is known and the z-factor z has already been
calculated.

3.3.2.3 Coefficient of Isothermal Oil compressibility below Bubble Point Pressure
Below the bubble point the coefficient of isothermal oil compressibility can be
calculated using,
1 V
co =
V p T
(1.2)
Experimental data shows that at pressures below the bubble point pressure, the
volume of the liquid decreases as the pressure decreases. This behavior is also noticed
in the result of the flash calculations. It was therefore suggested that there is no need for
the negative sign, because the purpose of the negative sign is to make the isothermal
compressibility positive. The observation is not used in this report because it has not
been rigorously proved.
Using the actual volume of liquid calculated form the flash calculations, the liquid
part of the coefficient of isothermal compressibility at pressures below the bubble point
can be calculated as,
z L RT
V=

(

(3.43)
The constant parameters of the PR EOS are calculated using the mole fraction of
the liquid xi.
54
3.3.2.4 Total Coefficient of Isothermal Compressibility below the Bubble Point
Pressure
The total coefficient of isothermal compressibility below the bubble point will be
the combination of the coefficient of isothermal gas compressibility below the bubble
point pressure and the coefficient of the isothermal oil compressibility below the bubble
point pressure.
This combination is achieved by using the volume fraction of the gas to multiple
the isothermal compressibility of the gas and the volume fraction of the oil to multiply
the isothermal compressibility of the oil.

CHAPTER IV
ANALYSIS OF PREDICTION RESULTS
4.1 Computing Isothermal Oil Compressibility from Reservoir Fluid Study Report
The coefficient of isothermal compressibility is not directly measured in the
laboratory. They are usually obtained from reservoir fluid study data. The constant
composition expansion experiment (also called Pressure-Volume relations) gives the
behavior of the reservoir fluid at pressures above the bubble point pressure.
The relative volume data from the constant composition expansion is used to
calculate the coefficient of isothermal oil compressibility at pressures above the bubble
point.
At pressures below the bubble point pressure, the reservoir behavior is simulated
by the differential liberation experiment. The solution gas-oil ratio RsD, the relative oil
volume BoD and the gas formation volume factor from the differential vaporization
experiment are used in the coefficient of isothermal compressibility at pressures below
4.2 Predicted Molar Volume from Cubic Equation of State
The predicted molar volumes from the Peng-Robinson cubic EOS and the
modified Peng-Robinson cubic EOS are reported in Table 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3. A good
degree of accuracy are observed between the experimental molar volumes and the
predicted molar volumes as shown in Figures 4.1, 4.2 4.3 4.4 4.5 and 4.6

with a good degree of accuracy as shown in Tables 4.4, 4.5 and 4.6. It can be observed
from Figures 4.7, 4.8, 4.9, 4.10, 4.11 and 4.12 that the developed model gave a very
good prediction at pressures above the bubble point pressure. At pressures below the
bubble point pressure, the predicted values also gave a good degree of accuracy
considering the difference between the experimental and the predicted values.

4.4 Discussion of Result
The reservoir fluid used in this project can be classified as black oil because their API
gravity was less than 450API.29, p. 151
The developed model based on the PR EOS and the Modified PR EOS predicted
the coefficient of isothermal oil compressibility above the bubble point with a near
perfect match. At pressures below the bubble point the developed model also gave a good
prediction of the coefficient of isothermal oil compressibility.
74
The average absolute percent deviation (AAPD) as shown in Appendix H, for the
developed model based on the MPR EOS was smaller than the model based on the PR
EOS. The AAPD for the predicted models above the bubble point was smaller than the
AAPD for the total system. The smallest AAPD (of 1.9% deviation) above the bubble
point pressure was obtained by the model based on the MPR EOS for the Jehlicka 1A
well of Wilshire Oil Co. of Texas. The largest AAPD (of 12.39% deviation) above the
bubble point pressure was obtained by the model based on the PR EOS for the Jacques
Unit #5603 of the A.C.T Operating Company.
The smallest AAPD (of 19.10% deviation) for the predicted coefficient of
isothermal oil compressibility for the whole system (i.e. at pressures above and below the
bubble point pressure) was obtained from the model based on the MPR EOS for the
Jehlicka 1A well of Wilshire Oil Co. of Texas. The largest AAPD (of 32.44% deviation)
for the predicted coefficient of isothermal oil compressibility for the whole system (i.e. at
pressures above and below the bubble point pressure) was obtained from the model based
on the PR EOS for the Jacques Unit #5603 of the A.C.T Operating Company.
The suggested reason for the larger deviation in the predicted result for the
Jacques Unit #5603 of the A.C.T Operating Company is because the reservoir fluid
composition used was a recombination of the well stream production. The error acquired
through the recombination could be magnified by the EOS model.
This study used the components given in the fluid study report and lumped
together the heptane-plus (C7+). In order to quantify the effect of using more components,
the developed model was run using 24 components for the Jacques Unit #5603 of the
75
A.C.T Operating Company. The AAPD above the bubble point pressure was 2.84%
deviation above the bubble point pressure and 22.30% deviation for the total system for
the model based on the MPR EOS. This was smaller than the 10.66% deviation above the
bubble point pressure and 28.75% deviation for the total system for the model based on
MPR EOS when the C7+ was lumped together. For the model based on the PR EOS, the
AAPD increased from 12.39% to 49.92% deviation at pressures above the bubble point
and from 32.44% to 48.05% deviation for the total system at pressures above and below
The increase in the error in the model based on the PR EOS could be due to the
correlation used to calculate the critical parameter of the Eicosanes-plus (C20+). The
effect of this correlation was believed to be minimized in the model based on the MPR
EOS because the constant parameter a which is dependent of the components critical
parameter.
The number of iterations recorded in predicting the coefficient of isothermal oil
compressibility using 11 components of the Jacques Unit #5603 of the A.C.T. Operating
Company was 9,791. When the same reservoir fluid data was used to predict the
isothermal oil compressibility using the 24 components, the number of iterations recorded
was 24,961. This shows a 155 % increase in the number of iterations. This increase in the
number of iterations will translate into a higher computing cost when calculating the
isothermal compressibility for each grid cell in a compositional reservoir simulation.

CHAPTER V
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
5.1 Conclusions
The following conclusions can be drawn from this project:
1. A mathematical model based on Peng-Robinson equation of state for calculating the
coefficient of isothermal oil compressibility was developed.
2. The mathematical model was extended to pressures below the bubble point, using the
two phase flash calculations.
3. A mathematical model based on Peng-Robinson equation of state was also developed
to predict the coefficient of isothermal gas compressibility at pressures below the
bubble point.
4. A mathematically consistent additive technique was developed to add the resultant
coefficient of isothermal oil compressibility and the coefficient of isothermal gas
compressibility at pressures below the bubble point.
5. A good degree of accuracy was obtained between the predicted coefficient of
isothermal oil compressibility from the developed EOS based mathematical model
and the experimentally derived coefficient of isothermal compressibility.
6. The predicted molar volume from the two phase calculation was reported and
compared with the experimental measured molar volume from Pressure-Volume
relations; a good degree of accuracy was achieved.
77
7. A computer algorithm (using FORTRAN) was developed to compute the coefficient
of isothermal oil compressibility using the developed mathematical model.
5.2 Recommendations
1. Research is very active in the area of two phase calculation to determine the
equilibrium quantity and composition of liquid and vapor in the two phase region. A
more robust two phase flash algorithm is recommended to increase the accuracy of
the predicted coefficient of isothermal oil compressibility at pressures below the
bubble point pressure.
2. A further work is recommended in tuning the developed mathematical model, using
the constant parameters of the Peng-Robinson EOS (i.e. a and b) and the binary
interaction parameter in order to achieve a higher level of accuracy.
3. In order to predict the isothermal compressibility of gas condensate reservoirs, it is
recommended that the developed mathematical model be coupled with the simulation
of constant volume depletion experiment.
4. Observations bothering on the analysis of the differential vaporization experiment
suggested that the accuracy of equation 3.45 be validated. The reason for this
validation is the slope change observed in the graph of the formation volume factor
and the pressure, at pressures above and below the bubble point pressure.
5. The developed model can also be extended to gas fields to predict the coefficient of
isothermal gas compressibility.

DERIVATION OF THE FLASH CALCULATION ALGORITHM 2 pp 244-247
Flash calculation is used to calculate the equilibrium quantity and composition of
vapor and liquid below the bubble point pressure. Flash calculation is a simulation of
the flash vaporization process.
nv (y i)
n (z i)
nL (x i)
Figure D.1: Schematic of the Flash Vaporization Process
where,
n = total number of moles of the hydrocarbon mixture, lb-mole
nL = total number of moles of the liquid phase, lb-mole
nV = total number of moles in the vapor (gas) phase, lb-mole
zi = mole fraction of component i in the entire hydrocarbon mixture
xi = mole fraction of component i in the liquid phase
yi = mole fraction of component i in the vapor phase
90
Considering the mole balance,
n = nL + nV (D.1)
A component based material balance gives,
zi n = xi nL + yi nV (D.2)
By definition of mole fraction,
x i =1
(D.3)
y i =1
(D.4)
z i =1
(D.5)
For simplicity phase-equilibra calculations are based on one mole of the
hydrocarbon mixture, i.e., n =1. Therefore,
nL + nV = 1 (D.6)
zi = xi nL + yi nV (D.7)
Mathematically, the equilibrium ration K for component i is defined as,
yi
Ki =
xi (D.8)
Combining equation D.8 and equation D.7, gives,
z =x n +x K n
i i L i i V (D.9)
Solving for xi from equation D.9 gives,
zi
xi =
nL + KinV (D.10)
Solving for yi, gives,
91
ziKi
yi =
nL + KinV (D.11)
Combining equation D.10 and D.3 gives,
zi
x = n

i i L (D.12)
Combining equation D.11 and D.4 gives,
ziKi
y = n
i =1
i i L + nVKi (D.13)
But x i =1
and y i =1
Hence, y x
i i =0
ziKi zi
n =0
i L + nVKi i nL + nVKi
(D.14)
Simplifying equation D.14,
z i (K i 1)
n =0
i L + nVKi (D.15)
From equation D.6
nL = 1 - nV (D.16)
Combining equations D.15 and D.16 gives,
z i (K i 1)
n (K =0
i V i 1) + 1 (D.17)
92
In order to determine the moles and the compositions of the vapor and liquid
phases in the reservoir at temperatures below the bubble point pressure, equation D.17
is solved numerically to obtain nV. The calculated mole fraction of the vapor phase can
then be used to calculate the mole fraction of the individual component in the vapor and
liquid phase using equations D.10 and D.11.
In this study equation D.15 is solved using the Newton Raphsons method. The
mole fraction of the vapor phase is calculated by an iterative process using,
(n v )
(n V )n +1 = (n V )n f
f' (n v ) (D.18)
where n and n+1 indicates the iterative steps and the functions are defined as,
z i (K i 1)
f (n V ) =
i n V (K i 1) + 1 (D.19)
z i (K i 1)2
f' (n V ) = 2
[n V (K i 1) + 1]
i
(D.20)
This iteration is carried performed till the desired convergence is achieved.

From figure E.1, the total volume of the system can be represented by,

Differentiating equation E.1 in terms of pressure as constant temperature gives,

The proposed method for adding the coefficient of isothermal oil compressibility
and the coefficient of isothermal gas compressibility is described as,

ct = cg + cL

Combining equations E.3, E.4, E.5 and E.6 gives,

Substituting for t in equation E.7, using equation E.2 gives,

This shows that equation E.6 is mathematically consistent.

APPENDIX I
FORTRAN CODE DOCUMENTATION
This is a short documentation to accompany the FORTRAN program developed
to compute the coefficient of isothermal oil compressibility based on the developed
model.
The input data required to run the program are listed below;
1. Number of components in the hydrocarbon fluid.
2. Number of pressure steps required; including pressures below and above the
bubble point.
3. The list of the pressure steps.
4. The list of the component properties in this order; critical temperature (oR),
critical pressure (psia), component mole fraction, acentric factor, molecular
weight, critical compressibility factor and the specific gravity. It should be noted
that the specific gravity values of the component are not required in the
calculations except for the plus fraction where it is used to calculate the critical
parameters. Therefore the specific gravity values inputted into the program are
zeros except for the plus fraction. The critical parameters of the plus fraction are
also inputted as zeros.
5. The reservoir temperature in degree Rankine
6. The bubble point pressure in psia.

A sample of the input data is displayed below;

The program was originally designed for four different EOS (Soave-Redlich-
Kwong (S.R.K.) EOS, Modified SRK EOS, Peng-Robinson (P.R.) EOS and Modified PR
EOS). Due to the problem of convergence in the fugacities and the observed error in the
SRK EOS and modified SRK EOS, the predicted values of these two EOS were not
reported. It was observed that the SRK EOS and the Modified SRK EOS gave good
predictions at pressures above the bubble point pressure.
The program reads in the pressure and check if the pressure is above or below the
bubble point pressure. If the pressure is above the bubble point pressure, the molar
volume is calculated and the partial derivative of the molar volume with respect to
pressure at constant temperature is calculated. These two answers are combined to
calculate the coefficient of isothermal oil compressibility.
If the pressure is below the bubble point pressure, the two phase flash calculation
algorithm is called and the isothermal compressibility of the liquid and gas phases are
calculated and combined to give the coefficient of isothermal oil compressibility at
pressures below the bubble point pressure.
It was observed that convergence could not be achieved at a reasonable length of
time for some desired pressures. The two pressures at which this lack of convergence was
observed are at the input pressure 764.7 psia for the reservoir fluid sample from A.C.T
Operating Company and at the input pressure of 2164.7 psia.
The output of the program is formatted to give the calculated molar volumes and
the calculated coefficient of isothermal oil compressibility above the bubble point
pressure. At pressures below the bubble point pressure, the molar volume and the
118
coefficient of isothermal oil compressibility of both the liquid and the vapor phases are
reported.
