METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ANALYSIS OF RESERVOIR FLUIDS

摘要

A method of reservoir analysis for a reservoir of interest, which includes obtaining a crude oil sample originating from the reservoir of interest. Oil-water interfacial tension of the crude oil sample is measured. An empirical model that relates oil-water interfacial tension of the crude oil sample to concentration of at least one organic acid species in the crude oil sample is calibrated based on the measured oil-water interfacial tension of the crude oil sample. The concentration of the at least one organic acid species in the crude oil sample may be absolute or relative. At least one reservoir parameter characteristic of the reservoir of interest can be calculated based on the calibrated empirical model.
