    Vasquez and Beggs (Generally Applicable)


    Vasquez and Beggs is a generally applicable correlation containing equations for solution gas oil ratio (Rs), oil formation
    volume factor (Bo), and oil compressibility (co). The correlation was developed from data obtained from over 600
    laboratory PVT analyses gathered from fields all over the world. The data used in the development of the correlation
    covers a wide range of pressures, temperatures, and oil properties. The correlation divides the data into two groups, one
    for an oil gravity (go) over 30 API and one at and below 30 API.

    Bubble Point Pressure

    Where:

    Coefficient go <= 30°API go > 30°API

    C1 0.0362 0.0178

    C2 1.0937 1.1870

    C3 25.7240 23.9310

    Solution Gas Oil Ratio

    The coefficients C1, C2, and C3 are the same as for the bubble point pressure equation above.
