PVT DATABASE

The heart of the Reservoir Fluid Database (RFDbase) is an internet-enabled database for the storage, review and manipulation of complete PVT reports. The database is divided into a "closed" section for the storage of confidential reports, and a large "open" section for the storage of non-exclusive reports accessible to all participants. Participation will be limited to subscribing companies.

This PVT database has two main objectives. First, it provides a means to collect, quality check, organize, digitize, and store a company's complete archive of PVT reports. Second, it gives participants access to a global database of PVT reports for the rapid assessment of production fluids in established or frontier areas.

Some of the important design criteria are listed in the following

• Provide links between the PVT and geochemical databases.
• Utilizes a mapping interface to improve searching and data interpretation capabilities.
• Incorporates a standard PVT report format (for both black oils and gas condensates) so reports from different PVT companies can be more easily recognized and understood.
• Provide interfaces to digitally import current PVT studies from the various PVT companies, simplifying data entry to the database.
• Stores electronic copies of each report as Adobe Acrobat PDF files for historical archiving.
• Provides storage for tuned Equation of State (EOS) parameters from commercial PVT programs.
• Provides interfaces to digitally export the data to and from commercial petroleum engineering simulators.
• Allows for the storage and protection of non-exclusive and proprietary data with appropriate security.
