The document provides information about the composition and properties of a natural gas reservoir. It lists the percentages of various gas components and their critical properties. It then calculates the apparent molecular weight, specific gravity, pseudo-critical parameters and pseudo-reduced parameters of the gas based on the given composition and initial reservoir pressure and temperature of 3000 psia and 180°F respectively. The summary calculations are an apparent molecular weight of 22.84, specific gravity of 0.787586207, pseudo-critical temperature of 409.73°R, pseudo-critical pressure of 660.25 psia, pseudo-reduced critical pressure of 4.543733434, and pseudo-reduced critical temperature of 1.562004247.

Assignment # 01
(2k17-PAG-43)
16-01-2020

Instructor:
Engr. Mudassir Khan
Problem:
A gas reservoir has the following gas composition: the initial reservoir pressure
and temperature are 3000 pisa and 180°F, respectively. Calculate the apparent
molecular weight, specific gravity, pseudo-critical parameters and pseudo reduced
parameters of the gas?

Percentage Critical Critical Pressure


Components (%) Temperature (ᵒR) (Psig)

CO2 2 548 1058

N2 1 492 212

C1 81 344 658

C2 4 550 694

C3 3 666 603

i-C4 3 733 515

n-C4 2 766 536

n-C5 1 847 470

C6 3 915 419

Solution:
Reservoir Temperature = 180 0F
We can convert Reservoir temperature (oF) to (oR),
o
R = oF + 460
Reservoir temperature = 180+460 = 640oR
Reservoir Pressure = 3000psia
We can convert Critical pressure (Psig) to (Psia) by adding 14.7 in value of (Psig).

Mg = 22.84 Tpc = 409.73 Ppc = 660.25

Specific Gravity = Mg/Ma = 22.84/29 = 0.787586207

Pseudo-reduced critical Pressure = Ppr = P/Ppc = 3000/660.25 = 4.543733434

Pseudo-reduced critical Temperature = Tpr = T/Tpc = 640/409.73 = 1.562004247
