Influence of PVT
As seen previously the enthalpy calculation is heavily influenced by the PVT properties. The
Figure below shows in track#1 the same case simulated with either a
Standing
or a
Vasquez &
Beggs
correlation. The impact is very large.
Effect of Bo:
Standing
and
Vasquez & Beggs
But PVT is obviously not the only parameter with a strong influence on the solution.
A
sensitivity study is provided with the Emeraude installation that describes the effect of such
parameters as the fluid heat capacity, formation conductivity, etc. You can check this
document for more information.
