Isothermal Compressibility -- Vasquez & Beggs
In this spreadsheet, just type in the required information
and press the compute button. Scroll down for more info.
V&B's correlation.
Co = (5*Rsb + 17.2*Tr - 1180*Gamma_g + 12.61*Gamma_API - 1433)
/(p*10**5)
Where
Co = Oil Isothermal Compressibility, 1/psia
p = pressure of interest, psia
Rsb = solution GOR at pb, scf/STB.

Standing(Good).
Gamma_g = gas gravity (air=1.0),
Tr = temperature of interest, F, and
Gamma_API = stock-tank oil gravity, API
