Exercise 1
1. Black oil has a lower API gravity than volatile oil. T___ F___
2. A (wet, dry) gas exists solely as a gas in the reservoir throughout the
reduction in reservoir pressure.
3. The hydrocarbon mixture is solely gas in the reservoir and normal surface
separator conditions fall outside the phase envelope. (dry or wet gas).
4. (Dry, Wet, Retrograde) gas - gas at surface is same as gas in reservoir
5. (Dry, Wet, Retrograde) - recombined surface gas and condensate
represents gas in reservoir
6. (Dry, Wet, Retrograde) - recombined surface gas and condensate
represents the gas in the reservoir but not the total reservoir fluid (retrograde
condensate stays in reservoir)
7. >70 API gravity hydrocarbon is representative of (Black oil, Volatile oil, Wet
gas condensate).
8. Black oil has a (higher, lower) Heptane + value than volatile oil.
9. Black oil may contain paraffin and asphaltenes. T___ F___
10. What forms in retrograde gas at the dew point?
