PVT Studies
Properly manage reservoir production
Physical property and phase behavior PVT data provide the necessary information to properly manage reservoir production. Initial measurements of fluid compressibility and shrinkage factors are required to
- determine oil in place and gas in place
- provide input for recovery estimates
- evaluate reservoir material balance calculations.
PVT studies for HPHT reservoirs deliver a complete, comprehensive dataset to help you better understand your reservoir and its behavior and make better-informed decisions on how to enhance production.

Standardized Data Format for PVT Analysis
Enable standardized and consistent .xml PVT data delivery in compliance with the industry-standard PRODML production markup language.
OPTIMIZE DATA DELIVERYUnderstanding fluid behavior in the reservoir requires viscosity, constant composition expansion, and differential liberation or constant volume depletion measurements. Fluid behavior influences both recovery and costs. Compositional analysis and the physically measured fluid properties are used as input and the basis for tuning EOS modeling software.

Separation tests simulate the gas and liquid separation of a reservoir fluid at the surface conditions. Results generated include
- gas/oil ratio for each separator stage
- liquid shrinkage factor
- evolved gas properties at each stage.
These data are often used in an EOS simulator to optimize separator conditions for maximization of oil production.
