"Solution-Gas Drive" PVT Properties: (1/(oBo), p<pb, pb=5000 psia) Attempt to illustrate that 1/(oBo) constant for p<pb.
This would allow us to approximate behavior using "liquid" equations. Orientation Phase Behavior Slide 13
Reservoir Fluids
"Solution-Gas Drive" PVT Properties: (oco, p<pb, pb=5000 psia) Attempt to illustrate that oco is NEVER constant.
CAN NOT approximate behavior using "liquid" equations (or so it seems). Orientation Phase Behavior Slide 14

"Dry Gas" PVT Properties: (gcg vs. p) Concept: If gcg constant, pseudotime NOT required. Readily observe that gcg is NEVER constant, pseudotime required.

Summary: Formation Volume Factor
Bo,g,w is defined as a volume conversion for oil, gas, or water and is defined on a mass (or density) basis.
The Formation Volume Factor "converts" surface volumes to downhole conditions. Typical values:

Summary: Fluid Viscosity
Viscosity: o,g,w
Is a measure of a fluid's internal resistance to flow ... the proportionality of shear rate to shear stress, a sort of internal friction. Fluid viscosity depends on pressure, temperature, and fluid composition. Typical values: Oil: 0.2 to 30 cp Gas: 0.01 to 0.05 cp Water: 0.5 to 1.05 cp
