The pvt_water() generates a table of water PVT properties at reservoir temperature and pressures from the atmospheric condition up to the initial reservoir pressure. The estimated water properties are solution gas-water ratio, formation volume factor, density, compressibility, and viscosity.

pvt_water(
  input_unit = "Field",
  output_unit = "Filed",
  fluid = "water",
  pvt_model = "Spivey",
  visc_model = "Spivey",
  t = 220,
  p = 6000,
  salinity = 10,
  gas_saturated = "yes",
  warning = "yes"
)

Arguments

input_unit

input unit system for parameters, a character string either 'SI' or 'Field'.

output_unit

output unit system for properties, a character string

fluid

fluid type, the character string 'water'

pvt_model

PVT model, a character string. 'Spivey', 'Meehan', and 'McCain' models are currently available

visc_model

viscosity model, a character string. 'Spivey', 'Meehan', and 'McCain' models are currently available

t

temperature, a numeric value either in 'C' or 'F' depending on the 'input_unit'

p

pressure, a numeric value either in 'kPag' or 'Psig' depending on the 'input_unit'

salinity

water salinity in weight percent TDS

gas_saturated

a charater string either 'yes' or 'no'

warning

a charater string either 'yes' or 'no'
