PROBLEMS
6.1 Two-stage separator test data for a volatile oil sample are given below.
Calculate the oil PVT properties using both Lasater (1958) and
Standing (1947) correlations. Plot the calculated solution GOR using
the three separator tests and compare the results. Also, make similar
comparison plots for oil formation volume factor using Standing (1947)
correlation.
