PET E 675 - Advanced Petroleum Engineering Thermodynamics

★ 3 (fi 6)(EITHER, 3-0-0)

Faculty of Engineering

Thermodynamics and phase equilibrium in pressure-volume-composition relationships in petroleum fluids (oil/gas mixtures). Thermodynamic concepts and laws, phase equilibrium conditions, chemical potentials and fugacity, equilibrium conditions with curved interfaces due to underground capillary effect, phase diagrams of petroleum reservoir fluids, equation of state modelling designed for petroleum fluids, phase equilibrium computations and Tangent-Plane Distance (TPD) analysis, use of PVT software and analysis of petroleum fluid phase behavior and properties. Prerequisite: Consent of instructor.
