PVTsim Nova 5.0

PVTsim Nova is a versatile PVT simulation program developed by Calsep for reservoir engineers, flow assurance specialists, PVT lab engineers and process engineers. PVTsim Nova is an upgrade of the PVT simulation package PVTsim.

PVTsim Nova complies to the standards of a modern .NET application ensuring full support from the Microsoft development platform.

PVTsim has been used by leading oil producing and operating companies throughout the world.

Updates & Bug Fixes 

APPS

• XML IMPORT
  • New option for import of fluid compositions and PVT data in the PRODML 2.0 XML Energistics
• INSITU FLUID
  • New option for creating in situ reservoir fluid composition from composition of depleted sample and either original saturation pressure or original GOR.
• AUTO EOS
  • Input menu updated for easier input of number of components.
  • Auto EoS updated to support lumping of C₇₊ isomers with respective carbon number fraction.
  • Distinction between automated and custom lumping made clearer.
• SEPARATION
  • Updated to handle two feed streams and up to four product streams.

FLUID MANAGEMENT & OPERATIONS 

• FLUID DATABASE
  • Opening of an empty database enabled. Export and import supported for empty databases.
• QC
  • Evaluation of linearity of ln(mol%) versus carbon number changed to start at C₁₀ instead of at C₇.
  • Test separator data accepted as alternative to single stage flash data.
• ADD TO EOS
  • Add to single EoS enabled also when characterized source fluid has been lumped twice or more.
  • Add to EoS supported for mud contaminated fluids.
• COMMON EOS
  • Common EoS regression options extended to also support mud contaminated fluids.
  • Extended to handle up to 100 fluid composition.
• CLEAN FOR MUD
  • QC check for mud (OBM) contamination enhanced.
  • Input menu modified to clearer signal that no mud composition is required for contaminated fluid samples with a composition to C₃₆₊.
• NO PLUS GC COMPOSITIONS
  • C₇₊ density no longer required input for No Plus GC compositions.
• C₆₊ COMPOSITIONS
  • Characterization of compositions ending at C₆₊
• WEIGHT% COMPOSITIONS
  • Mole% to weight% conversion supported also for characterized compositions.
• PURE COMPONENT DATABASE
  • m & p xylene added as a component.
• LUMPING OF C₇₊ ISOMERS
  • Lumping schemes updated to support lumping of C₇₊ isomers with carbon number fractions
• Characterized Regression
  • Discontinuous grouping enabled, i.e. also non-consecutive components can have a property modified by the same percentage.

MODELS

• INTERFACIAL TENSION
  • Correlation for gas/oil-water interfacial tension enhanced to give more correct results when gas is a dilute inorganic gas.

PVT

• SWELLING EXPERIMENT
  • Simplified input of critical composition in swelling experiment.
• SLIMTUBE OIL SATURATION
  • Slimtube options extended with video showing how oil saturation develops with amount of gas injected.
• FAST SLIMTUBE SIMULATION
  • New approximate and fast slimtube option based on Methods of Characteristics (MOC).
• PVT DATA
  • Copy of PVT data between fluids supported.

FLASH & PROCESS

• H2S MODULE
  • Component fugacities output.
• FLASH OUTPUT
  • Partial molar volumes output from flash options.
• OPEN STRUCTURE FLASH
  • Updated to support PC-SAFT equation of state.
• MULTISTAGE 3-PHASE SEPARATION
  • The 3-phase Separation option under Unit operations extended to handle multiple stages and to allow oil production rate at standard conditions as flow rate input specification.

FLOW ASSURANCE

• WAX
  • Bug corrected in Wax module, which for fluids with high wax content may give a slightly higher WAT than with PVTsim Nova 4.
• WATER ANALYSES
  • New database for storage of water analyses. Accessible from Fluid Explorer.
• ASPHALTENES
  • Asphaltene tuning updated to cover Px onset data and bubble point pressures in addition PT onset data.
• SCALE
  • Formation and injection water compositions can be selected from water analysis database.

OUTPUT

• OUTPUT ON EXIT
  • Output can be kept between sessions.
• REPORT GENERATION
  • Option for Compare with Experimental Data enhanced with feature to automatically generate a report with nicely formatted tables and plots.
• MULTI FLUID COMPARE WITH DATA
  • Compare with Experimental Data enabled for two or more fluids belonging to the same EoS model.
  • Summary tables and summary plots output.
