Abstract

High-pressure/high-temperature (HP/ HT) gas reservoirs have pressures greater than 10,000 psia and temperatures higher than 300°F. Modeling the performance of these reservoirs requires understanding gas behavior at elevated pressure and temperature. Gas viscosity is used to model the gas mobility in the reservoir and can have a significant effect on reserves estimation during field-development planning. Accurate measurements of gas viscosity at HP/HT conditions are extremely difficult. Public-domain databases of hydrocarbon- gas viscosity were reviewed for validity of gas-viscosity correlations and their applicability range.
