Using
WinProp
Double click on the WinProp icon in the Launcher and open the WinProp
interface.
Open component selection form and insert the library components in the
following order: CO2, N2, C1, C2, C3, IC4, NC4, IC5, NC5, and FC6. (The order
of selection in important!).
In all cases except Dry Gas also, characterize the C7 fraction with a single
pseudocomponent by inserting a user defined component. Click on options
button in the component definition form and select insert own component
based on specific gravity (SG), boiling point (TB) and molecular weight (MW).
Use the properties given in the file: Five Fluid Types Data.xls. Your
component definition form should look like Figure1 for Dry gas and Figure 2 in
case of other fluid types.
Open the "composition form" and input the mole fractions of the primary
composition as mentioned in the file: Five Fluid Types Data.xls. The
secondary corresponds to the injection fluid (if applicable).
Insert two phase flash calculation form" into the WinProp interface. Open this
form by double clicking on it and under the comments section type Standard
condition flash. We are planning to perform a flash at 14.7 Psia and 60 deg.F.
Leave other calculation options as default. The feed composition is subjected to
mixed i.e. primary and secondary composition. The two-phase flash calculation
form should look like as shown in Figure 3.
. Double click and open the saturation pressure calculation form. Under the
comments type Psat at reservoir temperature. Also, input the reservoir
temperature and saturation pressure estimate as 180 F and 1000 Psia respectively.
The input value of saturation pressure estimate is used as an initial guess by
WinProp during the iteration processes for calculating the actual saturation
pressure.
.
Create plots of phase properties vs. pressure at the reservoir temperature using
the 2-phase flash calculation. Examples of properties which may be plotted are:
Z-factors, phase fractions, densities, molecular weights, K-values, etc. This can be
done by adding another Two-phase Flash calculation from. Type in comments as
Phase properties as function of pressure. Input the reservoir temperature as
180 deg F, temperature step as 0 and No. of temperature step as 1. Input the
reservoir pressure as 250 Psia, pressure step of 250 Psia and No. of pressure steps
as 12 for dry and wet gas case whereas 24 for gas condensate, volatile oil and
black oil. The reservoir temperature would also change depending on the case
you are modelling as mentioned in the file: Five Fluid Types Data.xls
In the plot control tab of two-phase calculation form select the properties
depending on the case as follows:

For all the oil cases, add a single-stage separator calculation with separator
pressure of 100 psia and separator temperature of 75 F.
Repeat Items 1 to 14 and build a dat file for other types of fluid and save them as
wetgas.dat, gascondensate.dat, volatileoil.dat, blackoil.dat files
respectively and then run.
Note: You are now able to analyze the results in terms of the criteria for definition of
each of the fluid types. The plots for different cases are shown in Figures 6 to 14.

In some cases, you may have to change the lower and upper bounds of the
regression parameters depending on whether these bounds are reached during
the regression. In this case the following bounds were used:
