Zres Calculation

How to calculate Zres ??

Step 1:

Tres is known (available from logs/well test data)

Pres is known (available from logs/well test data)

Gas Composition is known

Step 2:

Calculate the apparent molecular weight:

Calculate the gas gravity:∑=

=γ

Step 3:Obtain the pseudo critical pressure(Ppc) and pseudo critical temperature(Tpc) of the gas from Figure A-2 using gas gravity.

Correction for CO2, N2 and H2S if necessary.

Step 4:Calculate the reduced temperature(Tr) and reduced pressure(Pr)Tr = Tres/Tpc ; Pr = Pres/Ppc
