BS&W calculation
BS&W calculation
(OP)
Hi all,
am developing a fairly complicated well clean up model and am trying to figure out how long it will take for the BS&W at topsides to be acceptable.
Now no one I have spoken to has been able to give me a direct answer of exactly how BS&W is calculated ... they generally say "Oh we take a sample, chuck it in a machine and it tells us" ... that doesnt really help me.
How is the BS&W calculared. Is it simple a volume ratio i.e. vol of Sediment and water vs. vol of HC fluids? or what?
Cheers

But I'm not sure how that may help.

(Google was useles, this link appeared on the first search page of www.alltheweb.com search, second choice search engine; is it just me or does the "search within results" on gooigle seem to open up rather than drill down?))

RE: BS&W calculation
"It is measured by volume on a centrifuged sample of the oil ..."
Therefore I guess that a BS&W of 5% in a 100ml sample would indicate that there is 5ml of water and sand and 95ml of hydrocarbon ...
