Unit Rationale• An equation of state (EOS) is an analytical expression
relating the pressure P to the temperature T and the volume V.
• A proper description of this PVT relationship for real hydrocarbon fluids is essential in determining the volumetric and phase behavior of petroleum reservoir fluids and predicting the performance of surface separation facilities; these can be described accurately by equations of state.
• This unit deals with the study of the various equations of state which will enable the learner to choose the proper form for a particular system.

Basic Terms• Vapor Pressure: The pressure that the vapor phase of a
fluid exerts over its own liquid at equilibrium at a given temperature.
• Dew Point: The pressure and temperature condition at which an infinitesimal quantity of liquid (a droplet) exists in equilibrium with vapor.
• Bubble Point: The pressure and temperature condition at which the system is all liquid, and in equilibrium with an infinitesimal quantity (a bubble) of gas.

Observations from compressibility charts
• At very low pressures (PR 1), gases behave as an ideal gas regardless of temperature
• At high temperatures (TR > 2), ideal-gas behaviour can be assumed with good accuracy regardless of pressure (except when PR >> 1).
• The deviation of a gas from ideal-gas behavior is greatest in the vicinity of the critical point

55
Common Phenomena
At T = T1
• An isothermal compression (increasing pressure while temperature is held constant) causes the condensation of a vapor.
• More the compression, more liquid is obtained
• True for a pure-component system, such as water.
![Page 56: Unit II Phase Behaviour of Hydrocarbons](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062819/577cc4b61a28aba7119a2eb6/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)

57
At Tc < T2 < Tcc
• At point C: ALL VAPOR condition (0 % liquid)• By increasing pressure, the system enters the
two-phase region. Thus, some liquid has to drop out
• One expects that as the pressure keeps increasing, more and more liquid should be produced.
• This is true till point C’, after that it starts to vaporize and not condense
![Page 58: Unit II Phase Behaviour of Hydrocarbons](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062819/577cc4b61a28aba7119a2eb6/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)

59
Retrograde Condensation
• The increase in the liquid fraction with decreasing pressure between points C and D is exactly the opposite of the normal trend. Hence called Retrograde condensation
• This behavior is typical of gas condensate systems.
• Retrograde conditions may be encountered in deep-well gas production, as well as in reservoir conditions
![Page 60: Unit II Phase Behaviour of Hydrocarbons](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062819/577cc4b61a28aba7119a2eb6/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
60
Applications
• For production operations, usually the objective is to maintain pressure so as to achieve maximum liquid dropout.
• The initial PVT conditions of the well may correspond to a point above point D.
• If the conditions at the wellhead are then maintained near point C’, liquid recovery is maximized at the surface.

between critical pt. and cricondentherm
• Retrograde condensation occurs

Volatile Oil
• Heavier HC• Reservoir temp. near
critical• Small reduction in
pressure near bubble pt. vaporises the oil. Hence the name Volatile oil

Black Oil (Ordinary Oil)
• 20 mole% heptanes and heavier HC
• Reservoir temp. well below the critical
