Hot Pipeline Fluid Viscosity

Calculate high temperature pipeline fluid viscosity for two phase and three phase fluids.

The two phase fluid calculator can be used for single phase gas, single phase liquid, or two phase gas and liquid. The three phase black oil calculator can be used for single phase oil, single phase water, two phase oil and water, and three phase oil, water and gas. Water cut is the volume fraction of water in the liquid phase (ignoring the gas phase). Gas oil ratio (GOR) is the ratio of gas moles to liquid volume (ignoring the water phase). Gas moles are commonly measured as gas volume at standard conditions, eg SCM (Standard Conditions Meter) or SCF (Standard Conditions Feet).

CALCULATOR : High Temperature Pipeline Two Phase Gas Liquid Viscosity [FREE]   ±

Calculate high temperature pipeline two phase fluid viscosity and density.

Gas oil ratio (GOR) is the ratio of gas moles to oil volume at standard conditions (water volume is ignored). The viscosity of two phase fluids is calculated from the dynamic viscosity using the volume average viscosity of the liquid and gas phases.

CALCULATOR : High Temperature Pipeline Three Phase Black Oil Viscosity [FREE]   ±

Calculate high temperature pipeline three phase black oil viscosity and density.

Black oil is a three phase mixture of oil, water and gas. Water cut is the ratio of water volume to total liquid volume (gas volume is ignored). Gas oil ratio (GOR) is the ratio of gas moles to oil volume at standard conditions (water volume is ignored). The viscosity is calculated using the volume average dynamic viscosity of the water, oil and gas phases.
