Usually a system having a gas-oil ratio greater than 100,000 scf/STB is considered to be a dry gas. Kinetic energy of the mixture is so high and attraction between molecules so small that none of them coalesce to a liquid at stock-tank conditions of temperature and pressure. It should be pointed out that the classification of hydrocarbon fluids might be also characterized by the initial composition of the system. McCain (1994) suggested that the heavy components in the hydrocarbon mixtures have the strongest effect on fluid characteristics.
Qxd 2 50 0 3 1 Pressure Figure 1-14. Liquid-shrinkage curve for a near-critical gas-condensate system. reservoir goes from the retrograde region to a normal vaporization region. Wet-gas reservoir. A typical phase diagram of a wet gas is shown in Figure 1-15, where reservoir temperature is above the cricondentherm of the hydrocarbon mixture. Because the reservoir temperature exceeds the cricondentherm of the hydrocarbon system, the reservoir fluid will always remain in the vapor phase region as the reservoir is depleted isothermally, along the vertical line A-B.
Example 2-1 Three pounds of n-butane are placed in a vessel at 120°F and 60 psia. Calculate the volume of the gas assuming an ideal gas behavior. Solution Step 1. qxd 3/15/06 7:08 PM 32 Page 32 Reservoir Engineering Handbook Step 2. 123⎟⎠ Example 2-2 Using the data given in the above example, calculate the density of n-butane. 73) (580) Petroleum engineers are usually interested in the behavior of mixtures and rarely deal with pure component gases. Because natural gas is a mixture of hydrocarbon components, the overall physical and chemical properties can be determined from the physical properties of the individual components in the mixture by using appropriate mixing rules.
