A Neural Network Model and an Updated Correlation for Estimation of Dead Crude Oil Viscosity

Abstract: Viscosity is one of the most important physical properties in reservoir simulation, formation evaluation, in designing surface facilities and in the calculation of original hydrocarbon in-place. Mostly, oil viscosity is measured in PVT laboratories only at reservoir temperature. Hence, it is of great importance to use an accurate correlation for prediction of oil viscosity at different operating conditions and various temperatures. Although, different correlations have been proposed for various regions, the ap… Show more

“…The analysis based on samples from 162 wells was collected from nine different oilfields of Upper Assam Basin of Oil India Limited. The viscosity measurement of the crude oil samples was performed using a rotational viscometer and the data covered a viscosity from 2 to 120 cp and API gravity in [27]. The new proposed correlation was developed by the aid of non-linear multivariable regression and optimization based on extensive data set that covers all Iranian oil reservoirs.…”

“…The neural networks developed had a correlation coefficient of 0.99 and performed better than existing empirical correlations [3], [4]. Similar studies with neural networks to predict viscosity of Iranian oils [5]- [7] and Omani oils [8] have shown to perform better than existing correlations. Besides this the entire viscosity curves have also been shown to be accurately predicted for Canadian oilfields using neural networks and SVM [9] thereby establishing the reliable use of data mining techniques to predict crude oil viscosity.…”

“…It is also used in correlating the reservoir fluid properties without physically relating to the independent variables to lower the cost of field sampling and expensive laboratory experimental procedures. Naseri et al (2012) published ANN-based correlation to predict the viscosity of crude oil at different operation conditions and isothermal subsurface temperatures and it gave a promising result in estimating the viscosity of the large set of Iranian crudes. Nada et al (2012) conducted a survey by collecting 104 real data sets to validate propagation of neural network to derive correlation that predicts bubble point pressure for Iraqi fields with average error percentage about 6.5%.…”
