CMG Training:
Phase Behaviour Modelling & PVT Creation using WinProp
Phase Behaviour Modelling & PVT Creation using WinProp
Learn how to predict phase behaviour and characterize the reservoir fluids for reservoir simulation using WinProp.
Review basic concepts of the petroleum fluid phase behaviour and gain hands-on experience using WinProp to:
- Characterize the heavy fraction of the petroleum fluids
- Lump and split components
- Match laboratory PVT data through regression
- Simulate first and multiple contact miscibilities
- Perform multiphase equilibrium calculations
- Perform phase diagram generation
Use will also learn to characterize the fluid and tune the EoS in order to obtain a fluid model suitable for inclusion in GEM, STARS, or IMEX datasets, and analyze WinProp results.
