A Review and Extension of Existing Consistency Tests for PVT Data From a Laboratory

Invalid PVT data provide high uncertainty in field development studies such as reservoir fluid compartmentalization, reserve estimation, reservoir simulation, production engineering, and surface facility design. Then, consistency check should be conducted to ensure the validity of PVT data and to identify the most representative PVT sample(s). In this paper, preliminary and complementary consistency check of PVT laboratory methods was applied to design a new comprehensive validity check procedure for verification of the reservoir fluid properties. This procedure would be ascertained whether or not the data could be used as the most representative fluid sample in further studies. The data used in this study were collected from seven undersaturated oil reservoirs, and challenges were observed through the 28 full set of available PVT laboratory data. In our study quality checking procedure of PVT samples consists of different methods such as graphical method, recombination and material balance check for well stream composition test, Buckley, modified Wilson and Hoffman plot, Watson characterization factor, Y-function of CCE test, Y-function of DL test, compositional material balance of DL test, overall mass balance for density, Bo and GOR of DL test and density check for separator test. After implementing the applicable proposed checking procedure to detect the validity of laboratory PVT sample, only 9 out of 28 PVT samples were satisfied all the preliminary and complementary check methods. Furthermore, a practical strategy, to select representative reservoir fluid sample, was also provided and discussed based on the consistency check, well condition check and comparison of fluid properties.

An inclusive consistency check procedure for quality control methods of the black oil laboratory data

A mechanism for generating the gas slippage effect near the dewpoint pressure in a porous media gas condensate flow

Bubble-point and dew-point pressures of oil and gas condensate reservoir fluids are used for planning the production profile of these reservoirs. Usually the best method for determination of these saturation pressures is by visual observation when a Constant Mass Expansion (CME) test is performed on a sample in a high pressure cell fitted with a glass window. In this test the cell pressure is reduced in steps and the pressure at which the first sign of gas bubbles is observed is recorded as bubble-point pressure for the oil samples and the first sign of liquid droplets is recorded as the dew-point pressure for the gas condensate samples. The experimental determination of saturation pressure especially for volatile oil and gas condensate require many small pressure reduction steps which make the observation method tedious, time consuming and expensive. In this study we have extended the Y-function which is often used to smooth out CME data for black oils below the bubble-point to determine saturation pressure of reservoir fluids. We started from the initial measured pressure and volume and by plotting log of the extended Y function which we call the YEXT function, with the corresponding pressure, two straight lines were obtained; one in the single phase region and the other in the two phase region. The point at which these two lines intersect is the saturation pressure. The differences between the saturation pressures determined by our proposed YEXT function method and the observation method was less than 4.0 % for the gas condensate, black oil and volatile oil samples studied. This extension of the Y function to determine dew-point and bubble-point pressures was not found elsewhere in the open literature. With this graphical method the determination of saturation pressures is less tedious and time consuming and expensive windowed cells are not required.
