4.1 Sketch the graph based on the data obtained in Table 1 to Table 2
From table 1 and table 2, the density of stock-tank oil for experiment A and B
is 884 kg/m3. Meanwhile, Gas-Oil Ratio in experiment A for 1st stage is 4.29
and for the 2nd stage is 8.00. Gas-Oil Ratio in experiment B for 1st stage is 3.95
and for the 2nd stage is 8.00. Figure 3 shows that the volume of gas is increased
on both stages on the different pressures, which is 20 ml on the 1st stage and
40ml on the 2nd stage. Figure 4 shows that the volume of the Oil also increased
from the 1st stage to the 2nd stage which is 11ml on the 1st stage and 5 ml on
the 2nd stage.
The difference in the volume occurs because of the different pressure applied
on experiment A and Experiment B. When we apply more pressure, the volume
of oil and gas coming out from the reservoir also increases.
The Gas-Oil Ratio of the experiment A and B on the 1st stage show a decreasing
value from 4.29 to 3.95, but on the 2nd stage, the value of the (GOR) remains
the same. This data shows that when we apply more pressure on the first stage,
more oil will come out rather than the gas as the value of (GOR) decreases. But,
on the 2nd stage. we can see that the (GOR) value remains constant, it means
the pressure did not affect the value of the (GOR) on the 2nd stage.
As the value of the Gas-Oil Ratio is high, it shows that the gas coming out from
the reservoirs is higher than the oil. As the (GOR) value is maintained on the
2nd stage after the pressure is applied on the first stage it means the volume of
gas and oil are the same on the 2nd stage.
5. PART E: CONCLUSION & RECOMMENDATIONS
5.1 Why do we need to measure the Gas Oil Ratio (GOR) of crude oil in the oil and gas
industry? Give THREE (3) reasons.
1. Production Optimization: The GOR is an important indicator of the oil and gas
reservoir's productivity. By measuring the GOR, oil and gas companies can determine
the optimal production rate and adjust it accordingly to maximize production. An
accurate GOR measurement also enables companies to optimize production methods,
such as artificial lift, which can enhance the overall recovery of hydrocarbons.
2. Economic Analysis: The GOR is a crucial factor in economic analysis, particularly in
the estimation of reserves and the financial viability of a field. GOR data provides
critical information for reservoir modeling, which helps companies estimate the amount
of recoverable oil and gas and forecast future production. This information is essential
for investment decisions, project planning, and budgeting.
3. Safety: The presence of gas in crude oil poses several safety risks. High GOR values
indicate that the crude oil contains a significant amount of gas, which can increase the
risk of gas blowouts, explosions, and fires during production and transportation.
Regular measurement of GOR ensures that safety protocols are in place to manage these
risks, protecting workers and the environment.
Pressure plays a main role in the volume of the Gas and oil that come out from
the separator.
5.3 Do you think your experiment is in line with the theory? If YES, what is your
recommendation for improvement? If NO, explain why.
As the pressure increases, the (GOR) also will increase and stay on the same
value after certain pressure is reached. The experiment shows that the (GOR)
increases and maintains the same value, so the experiment is in line with the
theory. Our suggestion for this experiment is that the machine needs to be
repaired as the oil is leaking from it and makes the data inaccurate.
