Q#1\ A tank contains methane at 1015psia and 140F. Another tank of equal volume contains
ethane at 505psia and 140F. The two tanks are connected, the gases are allowed to mix and the
temperature is restored to 140F. Calculate the final pressure, the composition of the mixture and
the partial pressures of the components at final conditions.
Do not assume the ideal gas equation apply.
Solution:

The equation is

n = #$%

The amount of methane is

1015V
n= = 0.170𝑉𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑘
0.926 x 10.732 x (140 + 460)

The amount of ethane is

505V
n= = 0.0886𝑉 𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑘
0.885x 10.732 x (140 + 460)

The composition of mixture is methane:ethane = 0.165:0.103 by amount.

Find Mole fraction to prove the result if equal 1

namber of mole
y& =
total namber of mole
'.'))*
Ethane y& = '.+,)
=0.342

'../'
Methane y& = '.+,) =0.658

So the total mole fraction equal to one, that mean the result is correct.

p = nzRT = 0.170(0.92)(10.732)(140+460)/2 = 503 psia

the partial pressure of ethane is

p = nzRT = 0.0886(0.885)(10.732)(140+460)/2 = 252 psia

Therefore, the final pressure is 252+503=755 psia.

Q#2\ A laboratory cell with volume of 0.007063cu ft contains 0.02589 Ib of methane.
Temperature is to be raised to 65F. Calculate the pressure to be expected. Use Van der Waals
equation of state. compare your answer with experimental result of 1515 psia.

Solution:

p = ("12) − "! -------------- Van waals equation 1.1

Given:
Volume (V)= 0.007063cu ft Mass (m)= 0.02589 Ib Temperature (T)=65F = 525R

Q#3\ The initial gas oil ratio of 2015 scf/stb. The stock tank liquid was medium orange and had
a gravity of 51.2 API. Classify this reservoir fluid. Solution:
• Initial producing GLR greater than 1,750 or 250 scf/STB and less than 3,200 scf/STB,
thus volatile oil.
• API greater than (40 API)
• The color medium orange

Q#4\ The molar volume of dry gas measured at 215F are given below. What is the
coefficient of isothermal compressibility of the gas at 915pisa and 215F.

Solution:
As we are know the isothermal compressibility at gas use that equation below.

Q#5\ A wet gas produce 99835 scf/day through a 580 psi and 90F separator and 158 scg/stb
through a 80F stock tank. Specific gravities of the separator gas and stock tank gas are 0.614 and
1.099 and stock tank liquid is 55.4 API, calculate the specific gravity of the reservoir gas.

Solution:

This is a three-stage separator system,

Data provided

Wet gas production rate through primary separator ( RSP1 ) = 99,835 scf /STB

Primary Separator pressure ( PSP1 ) = 580 psia

Primary Separator Temperature ( TSP1 ) = 90 F

Second Stage separator production rate ( RSP2 ) = 158 scf /STB

Secondary Separator Temperature ( TSP2 ) = 80 F

Specific gravity of separator gas (SP1 ) = 0.654

Specific gravity of stock tank gas (SP2 ) = 1.099

Stock tank liquid gravity (API) = 55.4 AP

Step#1 calculate GAP (additional gas produced) and GAV (additional gas produce + vapor
equivalent to stock tank liquid)

So, GAP = A. (P?@. − 14.65)A+ (g ?@. )A8 (API)A5 (T?@. )A, (T?@+ )A*

GAP = 2.99( 580 − 14.65)'.</ (0.654)*.)' (55.4)..'/ (90)1...< (80)'.,,

GAV=535.91+2.62(580)'./< (0.654)5.** (55.4)..+' (90)1'.)5 (80)'.+*

Stepe#2 convert stock tank oil gravity to specific gravity

As oil ratio and specific gravity for the second separator are not used as equations for GAP and
GAV take account for second separator.

Q#6\ A retrograde gas is produced through a three-phase separator system. the primary
separator at 600 psia and 75F produced 8815 scf/stb of 0.616 specific gravity and the second
separator operate 60 psia and 75F. stoke tank liquid gravity 55.6 API

Solution:

(PSG ∗ V𝑆𝑄) + (𝑃𝑆𝑇𝐺 ∗ 𝑉𝑆𝑇𝐺) + (𝑃𝐶𝐺 ∗ 𝑉𝐶𝐺)

R AKF =

Given: volume of separator gas =8815 scf/STB
Specific gravity of separator gas= 0.616
Volume of stock tank gas = 514
Specific gravity of stock tank gas= 1.015
Volume of condensate= 128
API of condensate= 55.6

API condensate =141.5/P. Condensate – 131.5

So the P. Condensate= A!=E.8..,= 0.759
