Phase Behaviour of Hydrocarbons
Unit II

Unit Rationale• An equation of state (EOS) is an analytical expression
relating the pressure P to the temperature T and the volume V.
• A proper description of this PVT relationship for real hydrocarbon fluids is essential in determining the volumetric and phase behavior of petroleum reservoir fluids and predicting the performance of surface separation facilities; these can be described accurately by equations of state.
• This unit deals with the study of the various equations of state which will enable the learner to choose the proper form for a particular system.

Critical properties
• Critical point is defined as the point at which the saturated liquid and saturated vapor states are identical.
• Critical pressure Pc is the pressure of a substance at the critical point.
• Critical temperature Tc is the temperature of a substance at the critical point.
• Critical volume Vc is the volume of a substance at the critical point.
11
Critical Properties
• Critical temp and pressure represent the highest temp at which a pure substance will exist in vapour liquid equilibrium
• If T<Tc then the substance to the right of the saturated vapour line is called vapour
• If T>Tc then the substance to the right of the saturated vapour line is called gas
12
Critical Properties
• If the temperature and pressure are above TC and PC, the substance is in fluid region and it can neither be condensed nor be vaporised

envelope.– For T > Tcc, liquid and vapor cannot co-exist at
equilibrium, no matter what the pressure is.

equilibrium, no matter what the temperature is.

Equation of state
• It is a functional relationship between the properties like temperature, pressure and volume that define the thermodynamic state of a single homogeneous fluid.
f (P, V, T) = 0
21
Ideal Gas
• Size of the molecule is very small compared to the distance between them
• Volume of the molecules is negligible in comparison with the total volume of the gas
• Intermolecular forces are negligible
22
Properties applicable for an ideal gas
• For one mole of gas, the equation of state is PV = RT
where, R is the universal gas constant
• Internal energy depends only on temperature. It is independent of pressure and volume
23
Properties applicable for an ideal gas
• The Joule Thomson coefficient is zero
• Joule Thomson coefficient is defined as the change in temperature resulting from the expansion of a gas between constant pressures under adiabatic condition and with no exchange of work with the surrounding.

Properties applicable for an ideal gas
• Real gases follow ideal behaviour at absolute zero temperature.
• At room temperature gases like hydrogen, helium, nitrogen and oxygen follow perfect gas law closely
• For engineering purposes all gases in the neighbourhood of atmospheric pressure are treated as ideal.
25
Processes involving ideal gases
• Constant volume process (Isochoric)• Constant pressure process (Isobaric)• Constant temperature process (Isothermal)• Adiabatic process• Polytropic process
26
Constant Volume Process (Isochoric)
• No work of expansion, hence dW = 0• Heat supplied is used to increase the internal
energy
dU = dQ = CvdT
27
Constant Pressure Process (Isobaric)
• Work of expansion done = PdV• Internal energy rises = dU• Enthalpy = dU + PdV
dH = dQ = CPdT
28
Constant Temp.Process (Isothermal)
• dH = 0 and dU = 0, dQ = dW

Equation of State for real gases
• At low molar volumes or high pressures, molecules come close to each other and molecular interactions cannot be neglected.
• The volume occupied by the gas molecules is appreciable as compared to the volume occupied by the gas
• Only when pressures are low ideal gas equation can be used to explain real gases.

Compressibility Factor
• The ratio of the volume of real gas (V) to the volume (RT/P) if the gas behaved ideally at a stated temperature and pressure is called compressibility factor

Compressibility Factor
• It measures the deviation of real gas from ideal behaviour.
• For a perfect gas the value of Z is 1• For a real gas Z approaches 1 … as pressure
tends to zero
46
Virial Equations
• Virial equations express the compressibility factor of a gas or a vapour as a power series expansion in P and 1/V
• ‘Virial’ in latin means ‘force’• The coefficients take into account the
interaction forces between the molecules

Virial Equations
• B,C,D and B’,C’,D’.. are called virial coefficients• B and B’ are called second virial coefficients• C and C’ are called third virial coefficients and so on…..

Significance
• It can be made to represent experimental PVT data more accurately by increasing the number of terms in the power series depending on the complexity of the substance
49
Principle of corresponding states
• All gases when compared at the same reduced temperature and the reduced pressure, have approximately the same compressibility factor.
Z = f (Tr , Pr)
50
Compressibility Charts
• Provides the best means of expressing the deviation from ideal behaviour.
51
Observations from compressibility charts
• At very low pressures (PR 1), gases behave as an ideal gas regardless of temperature
• At high temperatures (TR > 2), ideal-gas behaviour can be assumed with good accuracy regardless of pressure (except when PR >> 1).
• The deviation of a gas from ideal-gas behavior is greatest in the vicinity of the critical point

Retrograde Phenomena• Bubble point curve:
Line of saturated liquid (100 % liquid with an infinitesimal amount of vapor)
• Dew point curve : Line of saturated vapor (100 % vapor with an infinitesimal amount of liquid).
54
Isothermal Process T = T1 and T = T2
55
Common Phenomena
At T = T1
• An isothermal compression (increasing pressure while temperature is held constant) causes the condensation of a vapor.
• More the compression, more liquid is obtained
• True for a pure-component system, such as water.
56
Liquid Yield for the Isothermal Compression at T1
57
At Tc < T2 < Tcc
• At point C: ALL VAPOR condition (0 % liquid)• By increasing pressure, the system enters the
two-phase region. Thus, some liquid has to drop out
• One expects that as the pressure keeps increasing, more and more liquid should be produced.
• This is true till point C’, after that it starts to vaporize and not condense
58
Liquid Yield for the Isothermal Compression at T2
59
Retrograde Condensation
• The increase in the liquid fraction with decreasing pressure between points C and D is exactly the opposite of the normal trend. Hence called Retrograde condensation
• This behavior is typical of gas condensate systems.
• Retrograde conditions may be encountered in deep-well gas production, as well as in reservoir conditions
60
Applications
• For production operations, usually the objective is to maintain pressure so as to achieve maximum liquid dropout.
• The initial PVT conditions of the well may correspond to a point above point D.
• If the conditions at the wellhead are then maintained near point C’, liquid recovery is maximized at the surface.
61
Dry Gas
• Methane, N2, CO2• Reservoir temp. well
above the critical• Gas remains single
phase from reservoir to separator conditions
62
Wet Gas
• Methane, light HC• Phase envelope below
the temp. of reservoir• No liquid drop out in
reservoir• Condensation at
separator conditions
63
Gas Condensate
• Heavy HC present• Reservoir temp is
between critical pt. and cricondentherm
• Retrograde condensation occurs
64
Volatile Oil
• Heavier HC• Reservoir temp. near
critical• Small reduction in
pressure near bubble pt. vaporises the oil. Hence the name Volatile oil
65
Black Oil (Ordinary Oil)
• 20 mole% heptanes and heavier HC
• Reservoir temp. well below the critical
