How to Use This Calculator
- Enter daily oil production (bbl/day), oil API gravity, water cut (%), and gas-oil ratio (scf/bbl).
- Enter separator pressure (psi) and temperature (°F).
- Read required tank storage capacity (barrels) for the production facility.
- Review emulsion treatment requirements and treater sizing recommendations.
- Use stock tank volume and production rate to determine run ticket intervals.
What each input means
- Daily Oil Production
- Net oil production rate per day.
- Storage Days
- Number of days of production storage required.
- Tank Capacity
- Working capacity of each storage tank.
- Water Cut
- Percentage of produced fluid that is water.
- Oil Shrinkage
- Volume shrinkage from separator to stock tank conditions.
How this is calculated
Worked example, using the default values
- Identify Input Parameters4 parametersDaily Oil Production = 100, Storage Days = 3, Tank Capacity = 500, Water Cut = 50 = 5 input(s) provided
