Practical correlation of the viscosity of typical crude oils with temperature and gravity is presented. The temperature dependence of oil viscosity is described using an Arrhenius-type asymptotic exponential function. The parameters of this equation are correlated with the American Petroleum Institute (API) gravity. Temperature – Viscosity Relation Viscosity is a measure of a lubricating oil’s resistant to flow. More recently, Beggs and Robinson, (3) presented an empirical viscosity correlation equation for dead or gas-free crude oil as a function of API gravity and temperature. The correlation for dead oil viscosity which was developed by plotting log 10 (T) vs log 10 log 10 ( µ OD + 1) on cartesian co-ordinates, enjoys extremely wide application in the petroleum industry. Dead oil viscosity is defined as the viscosity of oil at 14.7 psia and reservoir temperature. For utilized data, the temperature and API of samples were within the range of 50–300°F and 20–48, respectively. Therefore the correlation is applicable for a wide range of crude oil samples. The proposed correlation is as follows:

For this study, density, viscosity and pour point of all crude oils is measured calculated at different temperatures by using a correlation equation (Brown, 1996 ). 21 Jun 2019 heavy oil; viscosity; artificial neural network; pressure; temperature [8] proposed a modification of these correlations for the prediction of a new set of at bubblepoint pressure and dead oil viscosity of Nigerian crude oil. The study was based on UAE crude oils. The author correlated the gas-saturated oil viscosity with solution GOR, reservoir temperature , gas specific gravity and ity, gas viscosity, dewpoint pressure, and total formation volume factor (FVF). reduced temperature ranges from t1 to 2.5 for gases and from 0.4 to 1.1 for oils. The oil gravity, gAPI, in degrees API is used to classify crude oils on the basis of 6 Sep 2017 You are absolutely correct: temperature and pressure alone with density are These are all indicators of oil viscosity, but to be truly predictive we need to and SARA fraction, or the asphaltene content in a given crude oil.
The available data of crude oil viscosity over a temperature range 130–220°F and at atmospheric pressure are used to develop a method to predict the viscosity of crude oils. The proposed In addition, Kartoatmodjo and Schmidt ( 1994) developed an empirical correlation to predict the viscosity of dead oil with 3588 data points from 661 dead oil samples that covered gravities ranging from 14.4° to 58.9°API, viscosities ranging from 0.5 to 682 cP, and temperatures ranging from 75 to 320 °F. The correlation originated from analyzing 460 dead oil viscosity measurements. The data set from which the results were obtained ranged from 16°API to 58°API and 70°F to 295°F. The correlation tends to overstate the viscosity of the crude oil when dealing in temperature ranges below 100°F to 150°F. Abstract Practical correlation of the viscosity of typical crude oils with temperature and gravity is presented. The temperature dependence of oil viscosity is described using an Arrhenius-type asymptotic exponential function. The parameters of this equation are correlated with the American Petroleum Institute (API) gravity. This approach to developing empirical correlations is verified by In this moment we have many problems with properties of fluid because the oils have high viscosity (4000 to 10000 cP at Temperature of reservoir). All equations of viscosity have two parameters (density or API and Temperature) For example the correlation Beal An improved temperature-viscosity correlation for crude oil systems. J. Pet. Sci. Eng., 4: 197-200. In the application of Beggs and Robinson dead-oil viscosity-temperature empirical correlation to several hundred dead- oil systems, we have found a consistently significant deviation between measured and calculated viscosity values.
