In-Depth Information
Several data sets were included in the Spivey et al. database, yet were
not used in developing the Spivey et al. correlation of methane solubility
in brine. The data summarized in table 4-4 were used to evaluate
selected methane solubility in brine correlations.
Figure 4-13 shows the distribution of points in the database of
methane solubility in water and sodium chloride brine by pressure and
temperature. As with the brine density database, the database includes
only data points for pressures higher than the vapor pressure for pure
water at any given temperature.
