Saturated Oil Viscosity
In this spreadsheet, just type in the required information
and press the compute button. Scroll down for more info.
Oil Viscosity for saturated systems (after Beggs and Robinson).
mu_os = A*mu_od**B
Where
mu_os = saturated oil viscosity, cp
mu_od = dead oil viscosity, cp, = 10**x - 1.0,
x = T**(-1.163)*exp(6.9824-0.04658*Gamma_API),
T = Temperature of interest, F,
Gamma_API = stock tank oil gravity, API,
A = 10.715*(Rs+100)**(-0.515),
B = 5.44*(Rs+150)**(-0.338),
Rs = solution GOR, scf/STB.
