Phase Behavior of Means Crude Oil and Carbon Dioxide
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Phase diagrams developed for a system of west Texas Permian Basin stock tank crude oil (Means) and carbon dioxide (CO2) are presented. Experimental single contact measurements of the volumetric phase behavior of this system were carried out for three temperatures and four overall molar CO2 compositions. The volumes of the equilibrated phases resulting at each set of conditions were measured over a wide range of pressures, and bubble points were carefully determined. Samples in the two phase region were taken at two pressures believed to be in the region of the minimum miscibility pressure (MMP) of this crude oil. The density and composition of each of the phases sampled are reported. In addition the viscosities of the phases at one set of conditions are reported.
