Testing of viscosity correlations for crude oil samples

Abstract

Oil viscosity is an important physical property that controls and influences
the flow of oil through porous media .Generally oil viscosity can be obtained
in two ways, either by carrying out experimental measurements or estimated
by a proper model. In this paper use an accurate correlation in calculating the
oil viscosity at various operating conditions either for dead saturated or under
saturated oils. Several empirical correlations have been suggested for
calculation of the dead,saturated,and undersaturated oil, whenever laboratory
data obtained are made to find a best-fit correlation ,accuracy confirmed by
comparing the obtained results of the correlation and other ones with
experimental for oil samples.
