Abstract :
Oil formation volume factor is one of important data in the design of various
stages of oilfield operations by both reservoir and production engineers. In this
study, the new correlation has been developed to estimate oil formation
volume factor based on 581 set data points of Middle East crude oils; ranging
between 19.4 to 52 ?API. The new correlation has been compared with existing
ones and results show that the new correlation predicts oil formation volume
factor much better with the average absolute percent relative error of 1.13% for
Middle East crude oils.
