Abstract

"This scientific work presents a study of areas of application and improvement for the Clapeyron–Mendeleev equation to determine the technological parameters of natural and associated petroleum gas under field conditions. As a result of scientific and practical research and laboratory work, the authors, based on the molecular kinetic theory of gases, developed and improved the Clapeyron–Mendeleev equations of state of real gases by adding some genuine parameters for natural and associated petroleum gases produced from oil and gas condensate fields. In this regard, two additional parameters are introduced in the Clapeyron–Mendeleev equation-relative density and relative velocity of gas: and this, as a new scientific result, helps determine any parameter from the seven included in the equation of state of natural and associated petroleum gases developed by the authors. Continuous technological process according to the system of “production, collection, preparation and transportation of products (oil + gas)”, including, separately in non-equilibrium conditions of “collection, preparation and transportation of gas” due to internal energy, causes a natural change in a wide range of basic technological parameters that contribute to frequent changes in the physical and chemical state of the gas. Therefore, this work establishes that one of the main tasks is to show the composition of natural and associated petroleum gas as a result of irreversible transformations of hydrocarbon and acidic components of its internal energy, as a result of which the gas is characterised by a number of patterns in the composition and distribution of components of various hydrocarbon and heterogeneous compositions (i.e., physically and chemically heterogeneous). In these conditions, a practical calculation of gas facilities (gas treatment point, selection of gas separators, field gas pipelines, compressor stations) is carried out to determine process parameters using the Clapeyron–Mendeleev equation of state for real gases, and the results show large errors. This proves once again that many authors have developed equations of state for real gases based on the results of laboratory studies with single-atomic and laboratory gases (hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, etc.). However, the authors here carried out laboratory studies with products and associated petroleum gas. According to the results of laboratory studies, the authors recommend an improvement of the equation of state of natural and associated petroleum gases.
