Greetings,
I am in need of appropriate sources and assumptions to evaluate the residence time needed for producing a shallow sands oil to a test separator already serving test production from a deeper, warmer, less viscous oil. A cursory look at shallow well rates for oil, water, and gas rates, and the data sheet for the test separator, checked out.
The shallow oil will have a viscosity of ~200 CP vs 22 CP current. This is the first application to use a conventional test separator with this crude (have been multiphase meters to date). Watercut will go from very little, to 85%. So, the stream will go from water out of oil, to oil out of water. Anti-foam and emulsion breaker will be used to 126 and 52 ppm respectively. Your comments are appreciated!
