Question #3.12 C o and k
a. If ˁ ob = 0.745,
ind C o = ___
b. If p wf / p b = 0.375,
ind k = ___
Question #3.13 B o
Using the answers from Question 3.12, find B o for the following conditions:
a. Undersaturated oil, where
B ob = 1.44, p b = 3,800, and p wf = 4,800
B o = ____
b. Saturated oil, where
B ob = 1.44, and p wf / p b = 0.375
B o = ____
Oil Density . Oil density at well flowing conditions is another vital piece of data for
interpretation of gradiomanometer surveys. It is a function of ʳ g , R s , B o , and ʳ o .
Figure 3.21 combines all the appropriate data on one chart and gives ˁ owf as a result.
Oil density at well flowing conditions ( ˁ owf ) may be estimated using the chart by
following an example calculation. If the inputs given are:
ʳ o = 30° API, ʳ g = 0.75, R s = 350 cf/B, B o = 1.21
1. Locate Point a by a line from ʳ g = 0.75 through R s = 350
2. Locate Point b by a line from Point a to ʳ o = 30° API
3. Draw a line from Point b through B o = 1.21 and read ˁ owf = 0.77 g/cm 3
ˁ owf may also be calculated directly using the equation:
