Description
Compute the saturated oil formation volume factor Bo with the Standing (1947) correlation.
Oil Formation Volume Factor Calculator: Compute the saturated oil formation volume factor Bo with the Standing (1947) correlation.
When to use Oil Formation Volume Factor
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.
- Solution GOR
- Solution gas-oil ratio at the bubble point in standard m³ per m³ of oil.
- Gas gravity
- Average specific gravity of dissolved gas (air = 1).
- API gravity
- Stock-tank oil gravity in degrees API.
- Temperature (K)
- Reservoir temperature.
How Oil Formation Volume Factor works
Compute the saturated oil formation volume factor Bo with the Standing (1947) correlation. 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
- Bo
- Oil formation volume factor in reservoir m³ per stock-tank m³.
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.
