Why Field-Wide EOS Models?
A field-wide EOS model acts like a field-wide "PVT correlation" applicable for all fluids in a given basin (black oils | volatile oils | near-critical fluids | gas condensates | wet gases | dry gases). By pooling PVT samples and funding across operators, we build a model calibrated and tuned to the unique thermodynamics of each basin. The result? A consistent, ready-to-use fluid model that saves time, reduces uncertainty, and eliminates the need for costly lab work on your wells.

🌍 Field-Wide Utility: One model for many formations and well types
🔄 Consistently predict PVT data: Saturation pressures, formation volume factors (FVF), solution GORs/CGRs, densities, compressibilities and viscosities across a field

UNCONVENTIONAL FLUID SYSTEMS
Unconventional fluid systems demonstrate strong field-wide PVT consistency although the reservoir fluid (i.e. composition) varies significantly. Reservoir fluid differences are dominantly determined by thermal maturity, which is the main reason behind the consistent fluid characteristics over large areas. What this means in practice, is that we can use one fluid model (i.e. EOS model) for the entire field, but what changes from area-to-area/well-to-well is the GOR (i.e. composition). This has been one of the key findings in all our studies.
Anadarko Basin
The SCOOP/STACK/Merge multi-client project was first initiated in February 2019, and has continued to grow as more data has been incorporated — resulting in a progressively more robust thermodynamic description.

Eagle Ford / Austin Chalk
The Eagle Ford/Austin Chalk multi-client project was first initiated in 2016, and has continued to grow as more data has been incorporated — resulting in a progressively more robust thermodynamic description.
Number of PVT Samples
In this study, 97 PVT samples from 92 different well locations were included in the EOS model development work. Of the 97 samples, 83 are from the Eagle Ford, while 14 are from the Austin Chalk. The Eagle Ford and Austin Chalk samples are thermodynamically consistent, even though the compositions tend to vary, meaning that one EOS model is sufficient for both. In general, compositionally, Austin Chalk samples tend to be richer (lower GOR / higher CGR) then the Eagle Ford samples in the same area / pad. There are 28 considered as bubblepoints samples, 65 dewpoints and 4 dry gas samples. The C7+ component is ranging from 0 mol% to 45 mol%.
