Abstract
During steam-assisted oil recovery processes, the thermal properties of saturated steam are required in the computation of heat losses and quality changes in steam distribution networks and wellbores. These properties can be evaluated either by interpolation of steam table data or by empirical correlations. Most correlations available in the literature are designed for steam pressures below 500 psia (3.4 MPa) and no single reference covers all the properties needed for the computations previously mentioned. This paper presents a new and complete set of saturated-steam properties correlations for pressures between 500 and 2,500 psia (3.4 and 17.2 MPa) and compares their accuracies to those in other works. These correlations do not apply to supercooled water or superheated steam.
