Introduction
• PVTp is part of the Petroleum Experts' IPM (Integrated Production
Modelling) Suite and as such allows to export PVT data for GAP,
PROSPER, MBAL, REVEAL, RESOLVE. In addition to a third party
application, like a macro or a Visual Basic application.
• There are two options in PVTp
• Black oil model.
• Equation of state model.

Introduction
• Black Oil Modelling
PVTp enables to define black oil models by entering black oil input data
and tables that can be used for matching purpose.

Black Oil Modelling
• The basis of the method is the use empirical correlations to
calculate oil characteristics.
• Matching with measured data is used to select the best
fitting correlation for the oil being studied.
• The correlations available are tabulated:

Black Oil Modelling
• Standing’s Correlation for Rs
Standing (1947) proposed a graphical correlation for
determining the gas solubility as a function of pressure,
gas specific gravity, API gravity, and system temperature.
The correlation was developed from a total of 105
experimentally determined data points on 22
hydrocarbon mixtures from California crude oils and
natural gases. The proposed correlation has an average
error of 4.8%. Standing (1981) expressed his proposed
graphical correlation in the following more convenient
mathematical form:

Black Oil Modelling
• The following experimental PVT data on six different crude oil
systems are available. Results are based on two-stage surface
separation.
