Key Gas Flow Properties Explained

The key properties in the gas flow equation are density, compressibility factor, compressibility, formation volume factor and viscosity which determine density, introduce non-linearity through compressibility factor, and require calculating viscosity as pressure varies spatially and temporally. Figure 4 summarizes the equations and correlations for determining gas properties in the flow equation.

The properties of interest in the gas flow equation are density, compressibility factor,

compressibility, formation volume factor and viscosity. Density appears in the gravity term,
and it is often neglected. The compressibility factor introduces an important non-linearity, in
that it appears in the formation volume factor. Gas viscosity is also strongly dependent on
pressure, and needs to be calculated as pressure varies spatially and temporally. Figure 4
summarizes the equations and correlations necessary for determining gas properties.
