Introduction
The PVT properties are the term generally used for PROCESS
expressing the volumetric behavior of a fluid inside a PLANT
reservoir as a function of P and T
WELL PIPE
The volumetric changes that take place in the reservoir, in
the well pipe and in the process plant, can be studied with
PVT analysis
Relative Volume
Bubble Point
Density Viscosity
Introduction
Actually, there are four laboratory process for PVT analysis.
Before
Diferential Separation the application
at Constant Volumeof any type of differential
separation, we need to make first a flash separation,
obtaining the saturation point, and the pressure and

SAMPLE FLUID
Put the representative sample of the reservoir fluid, (1 phase) into the cell. At TLab,
get to a high pressure.
Shake the cell and check the pressure, adjust manually until the pressure get to be the
same on step one.
Decrease the pressure to the bubble point, u would notice that the volume has increased.

Experimental Process
6 Go from TLab to TRes (Constant Pressure). Using the volumes and Temperatures,
calculate the coefficient of Thermal expansion . 2 = 1[1 + (2 1)]
The bubble point founded at TRes is higher than TLab, due to solubility of gas is
8 lower when the temperature increase.

Conclusions
The test gives high quality information to predict the behavior of the reservoir during
the productive time
The efficacy of this test is highly related with the representative sample that we take
from de reservoir.
This information help to decide the way is going to be produced the oil, or the gas.
