High pressure dewpoints, bubblepoints, and wax appearance temperatures in reservoir model fluids

Conference ·
OSTI ID:347830
High-pressure, high-temperature reservoirs are a challenge for drilling equipment and other technology. It is also questionable whether the conventionally used models to describe and predict the phase behavior are suited for these conditions and the fluids found in these reservoirs. These fluids are characterized by an asymmetric compositional distribution. This results in elevated dew- and/or bubble-point pressures and the possibility of precipitation of solid hydrocarbon phases. In this paper experimental high pressure data on the phase behavior of four asymmetric binary model systems and a ternary system are reported. Additional computational results obtained by employing the Peng-Robinson equation of state are presented.
