An -elnpTricaZ'-eq"uarlon that could be used for
predicting the viscosity of Nigerian crudes is
presented in this paper.
The correlation uses oil specific gravity as the main
correlating parameter, and also incorporates the
effects of reservoir pressure, temperature and oil
formation volume factor. '
i 'i _. .
Dcua from well over 400 samples of Nigerian crudes
wae used for developing the correlation, with most
samples however, from reservoirs alar above
saturation pressure. The results show however that
the correlation could have general applicability.
The correlation when compared with. some earlier
works proved 10 be more accurate.for Nigerian
crudes, Graphical and Statistical error analyses
undertaken suggest good performance and accuracy.
The correlation should prove valid for estimating the
viscosity of Nigerian crudes, as well as other crude'
Iyp~s /i.Ning properties thai fall within the range of
the data used in this work.
