Pedersen K.S., Fredenslund A., Thomassen P. Properties of Oils and Natural Gases

Gulf Publishing Company, 1989. — 252 p. — (Contributions in Petroleum Geology and Engineering, Volume 5). — ISBN: 0872015882 087201066X 9780872015883.The models described in this book are the results of a collaborative research and development project executed by three parties: Statoil a.s., the Norwegian state oil company, Calsep A/S, a Danish engineering consulting company, and the Department of Chemical Engineering at the Technical, Universíty of Denmark. Many detailed experimental data are listed, and all details regarding the developed models are given so that they may be readily applied, based on the material given in this book.The research project was carried out on three levels.
The basic level concerns the description of the oil or gas.
The second level of research concerns the developrnent of irnproved correlations of critical ternperature, pressure and acentric factor for the hydrocarbon fractions as a function of the rnolecular weight and other properties.
The third level concerns choice of equation of state, viscosity model, etc. by comparing measured and predicted properties.NomenclaturePetroleum Reservoir Fluids
