PVT Modeling With WellFlo^® Software

All pressure and flow modeling in hydrocarbon systems relies on accurate modeling of fluid properties as they vary with pressure and temperature. The WellFlo PVT package includes the important standard black oil correlations and allows these to be tuned to honor observed data. The tuned correlation is then used throughout the program to calculate fluid properties. As a result, you can rely on the accuracy of the software’s performance predictions and optimization operations which often depend on accurate calculations of fluid properties.

For near critical fluids, where the black oil correlations are unreliable, an equation-of-state technique is incorporated in the software with tuning facilities to allow accurate modeling of these fluid types. This approach holds great advantages because it requires only the limited data needed for a black oil model while retaining the higher accuracy of full compositional modeling.
