PVTsim Nova Course
Copenhagen: 2 October 2018 - 4 October 2018
The course will show how PVTsim Nova can be used to solve a variety of reservoir engineering and flow assurance tasks including fluid communication, modeling of PVT data, miscible gas injection, wax, asphaltene and hydrate precipitation. It will give an insight in the fluid characterization procedures and the thermodynamic models applied in the software. Regression to experimental data will be covered for single fluids and for multiple fluids to be represented using the same equation of state parameters. Non-classical equations of state for mixtures containing water and other polar components will be introduced with examples of recommended applications. It will be shown what to expect from the more than thirty interfaces to external software packages and how to make best use of them.
The course will be presented in lectures hands-on exercises and cover the below main topics.
Fluid handling
- Input to PVTsim and QC of fluid compositions
- Compositional analysis and recombination
- Equations of State (Cubic EoS, CPA, PC-SAFT, GERG-2008)
