Description
Compute hydrocarbon gas viscosity with the Carr-Kobayashi-Burrows corresponding-states correlation for sweet gases.
Gas Viscosity Carr Kobayashi Burrows Calculator: Compute hydrocarbon gas viscosity with the Carr-Kobayashi-Burrows corresponding-states correlation for sweet gases.
When to use Gas Viscosity Carr Kobayashi Burrows
Use this geological calculation for a transparent first-pass interpretation of measured rock, soil, fluid, well, stratigraphic, isotopic, geophysical, or seismic data under an explicitly selected model.
- Pressure (Pa)
- Gas pressure.
- Temperature (K)
- Gas temperature.
- Gas gravity
- Specific gravity of the gas (air = 1).
- Z factor
- Gas compressibility factor at the given conditions.
How Gas Viscosity Carr Kobayashi Burrows works
Compute hydrocarbon gas viscosity with the Carr-Kobayashi-Burrows corresponding-states correlation for sweet gases. The tool evaluates the supplied inputs together and returns the named outputs below; it does not infer omitted operating conditions or change the units shown.1
- Gas viscosity (Pa·s)
- Gas viscosity in pascal seconds.
Limitations and assumptions
- Petroleum correlations are fluid-, pressure-, temperature-, and region-dependent. PVT sampling, phase behavior, relative permeability, capillary pressure, heterogeneity, aquifer support, well constraints, history match, and units affect forecasts and reserves.
- Use finite inputs in the displayed units and preserve more precision than the final presentation requires. Independently verify safety-critical, financial, compliance, or production decisions.
Alternative or Complementary approaches
Compare independent measurements and models, retain units and analytical metadata, propagate uncertainty, and validate interpretations against logs, cores, maps, laboratory data, or field observations.
