Develop a PARA fluid characterization capable of simulating the PVT and Wax phase behavior of a hydrocarbon fluid. This study is a precursor to the Wax Deposition Study.
Description:
A Wax Phase Behavior Study involves a sequence of tests and computer simulation leading to the development of a PVT-tuned PARA (Paraffin-Aromatic-Resin-Asphaltene) EOS fluid characterization and simulation of the fluid's WDE (wax deposition envelope) and Oil Gelling Envelope (OGE). The flowcharts below give a summary of the steps required to:
Obtain representative bottom-hole fluid samples
Perform PARA (Paraffin-Aromatic-Resin-Asphaltene) Analysis, PVT Study, and Flow Assurance Diagnostic Study
Develop a PVT-tuned PARA EOS fluid characterization
Simulate the fluid's P-T Diagram
Tune wax phase behavior model
Simulate the fluid's WDE
Simulate the fluid's Oil Gelling Envelope (OGE)
