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.
