Ternary Diagrams: Review
  • Quantitative Representation of Phase Equilibria - Tie (or equilibrium) lines


  • Tie lines join equilibrium conditions of the gas and liquid at a given pressure and temperature.
      • Dew point curve gives the gas composition.
      • Bubble point curve gives the liquid composition.

6
Ternary Diagrams: Review
  • Quantitative Representation of Phase Equilibria - Tie (or equilibrium) lines


  • All mixtures whose overall composition (zi) is along a tie line have the SAME equilibrium gas (yi) and liquid composition (xi), but the relative amounts on a molar basis of gas and liquid (fv and fl) change linearly (0 – vapor at B.P., 1 – liquid at B.P.).

Uses of Ternary Diagrams
  • Representation of Multi-Component Phase Behavior with a Pseudoternary Diagram
  • Ternary diagrams may approximate phase behavior of multi-component mixtures by grouping them into 3 pseudocomponents


    • heavy (C7+)
    • intermediate (C2-C6)
    • light (C1, CO2 , N2- C1, CO2-C2, ...)
9
Uses of Ternary Diagrams
  • Miscible Recovery Processes
10
Exercise
  • Find overall composition of mixture made with 100 moles oil "O" + 10 moles of mixture "A".

20
Why do we need to classify Reservoir Fluids?
  • Determine fluid sampling
  • Determine types and sizes of surface equipment
  • Dictate depletion strategy
  • Determine selection of EOR method
  • Determine techniques to predict oil & gas reserves
  • Determine Material Balance calculations

Classification of Reservoirs based on Phase Diagram
  • Gas Reservoirs (Single Phase)


  • Gas Condensate Reservoirs (Dew-Point Reservoirs):


  • Undersaturated Solution-Gas Reservoirs (Bubble-Point Reservoirs):
