1. Sebuah peralatan Dean Stark digunakan untuk mengukur saturasi fluida di dalam sebuah
core plug dari formasi batupasir (sandstone) berbentuk silinder. Core plug tersebut memi-
liki diameter 1.5 in (inchi) dan panjang 2 in. Berat awal dari core plug tersebut sebelum
proses ekstraksi adalah 85.1 gr. Di akhir pengukuran, Volume air (water) yang diperoleh
dari core plug tersebut sebesar 2.98 cm3 . Berat core plug setelah dikeringkan 78.1 gr.
Porositas core plug sebesar 19.2%. Densitas air 1.03 gr/cm3 dan densitas minyak 0.88
gr/cm3 . Tentukan nilai saturasi seluruh fluida pada kondisi inisial! (Sf )
Jawab:
Informations:

ˆ D = 1.5 in ˆ Vw = 2.98 cm3

ˆ L = 2 in ˆ ϕ = 0.192
ˆ mori = 85.1 gr ˆ ρw = 1.03 gr/cm3
ˆ mdry = 78.1 gr ˆ ρo = 0.88 gr/cm3

Calculations:

Vf
Sw + So + Sg = 1 and Sf = Vp

Thus, we require informations related to Vf and Vp . For Vp :

Vp = ϕVb
Vp = ϕ( 41 πD2 L)

With conversion of inch to cm (1 inch = 2.54 cm), D = 3.81 cm and L = 5.08 cm:

Vp = ϕ( 41 π(3.81)2 (5.08))
Vp =11.12 cm3

Each calculation for Vf : (Vw is known, 2.98 cm3 and Sg will be calculated later)
For Vo : (Assume the weight of the gas is insignificant)
mo = mori − mdry − mw
ρo Vo = mori − mdry − ρw Vw
mori −mdry −ρw Vw
Vo = ρo
85.1−78.1−(1.03)(2.98)
Vo = 0.88

Vo = 4.467 cm

Thus, Sw and So :

For Sw : For So :
Vw Vo
Sw = Vp So = Vp
2.98 4.467
Sw = 11.12 So = 11.12
Sw = 0.268 So = 0.402

Now, Sg can be calculated:

Sw + So + Sg = 1
0.268 + 0.402 + Sg = 1
Sg = 1 − 0.268 − 0.402
Sg = 0.330

∴ Sw = 0.268, So = 0.402, and Sg = 0.330

2. Is this statement true?
Pengukuran saturasi dengan metode Dean Stark sangat tergantung pada perbedaan berat
core sample sebelum dan setelah proses pengukuran. Jika ada butir-butir pasir yang
terlepas saat pengukuran, maka berat core sample setelah proses pengeringan akan lebih
rendah. Akibatnya perkiraan nilai saturasi minyak terlalu tinggi.
Explain your reason by calculation!

Jawab:
Yes, it is true because this method require accurate mass measurement and it’s analysis
require mass difference.
Proof:
Let mori be original weight of the core, mf be the final weight of the core, mloss be the
lost weight.
If we’re going to calculate for oil saturation, we need to calculate the mass of oil with
assumption that the weight of the gas is insignificant, the equation should be:

mo = mori − mf − mw

With weight loss during the measurement, the equation will be:

mo = mori − (mf + mloss ) − mw

Next, we attempt to calculate the volume of oil and oil saturation on both equation:

For no weight loss equation: For weight loss equation:

ρo Vo = mori − mf − ρw Vw ρo Vo = mori − (mf + mloss ) − ρw Vw

mori −(mf +mloss )−ρw Vw
mori −mf −ρw Vw Vo = ρo
Vo = ρo
mori −mf −mloss −ρw Vw
Vo = ρo
Then, So :
Then, So :
Vo
So = Vp
′
So = Vo
Vp
′
1 mori −mf −ρw Vw 1 mori −mf −mloss −ρw Vw
So = Vp ( ρo ) So = Vp ( ρo )

We will notice the difference between two equation, if we look into the difference for
mloss > 0:
′
∆So = So − So
1 mori −mf −ρw Vw 1 mori −mf −mloss −ρw Vw
∆So = Vp ( ρo ) − Vp ( ρo )
mloss
∆So = Vp ρo

∴ The core with weight loss will have lower oil saturation according to the calculation. It
will be m
Vp ρo fewer than the calculation of oil saturation of a core with no weight loss.
