Reduction of Reservoir Fluid Equilibrium Calculation for Peng-Robinson EOS with Zero Interaction Coefficients
author
Abstract:
For some of the EOS models the dimension of equilibrium problem can be reduced. Stability and difficulties in implementation are among the problems of flash calculation. In this work, a new reduction technique is presented to prepare a reduced number of equilibrium equations. Afterwards, a number of appropriate solution variables are selected for the prepared equation system to solve the equations in an efficient numerical scheme. All the derivatives and solution procedures for the new reduced flash calculation framework were prepared based on Peng-Robinson equation of state. One reservoir oil sample and one gas condensate sample were selected from published literature to evaluate the proposed method for the calculations of reservoir fluids equilibrium. The equilibrium calculations with the proposed reduction technique were compared to full flash calculations. The reduced formulation implementation is simple and straightforward as it is derived from full flash fugacity equality criteria. The presented technique not only reduces the number of equations, and hence simplifies flash problem, but also presents a comparable convergence behavior and offers the same solution system for different reservoir fluid types. The results, demonstrates the proposed method performance and the accuracy for modeling with complex equilibrium calculations like compositional reservoir simulation when there are many components available in the mixture fluid description.

Equilibrium calculation of transport coefficients for a fluid-particle model.
A recently introduced particle-based model for fluid flow, called stochastic rotation dynamics, can be made Galilean invariant by introducing a random shift of the computational grid before collisions. In this paper, it is shown how the Green-Kubo relations derived previously can be resummed to obtain exact expressions for the collisional contributions to the transport coefficients. It is also ...

Introduction of a Novel Two-Dimensional Equation of State to Predict Gas Equilibrium Adsorption in Highly-Nonideal Systems
Abstract The accurate calculations of adsorption equilibrium for multicomponent gas systems are of great importance in many applications. In this paper, five two-dimensional equations of state 2D-EOS, i.e. Van der Waals, Eyring, Zhou-Ghasem-Robinson, Soave-Redlich-Kwong and Peng-Robinson, were examined to find out their abilities to predict adsorption equilibrium for pure and multi-component ga...
