PVT 300/700 FV EDU: An Educational and Reliable Solution for Industrial-Standard Reservoir Fluid Property Analysis

In the petroleum industry, understanding reservoir fluid characteristics is a crucial step in designing efficient production strategies. To meet this need, PVT 300/700 FV EDU is presented as an educational tool with industrial standards, capable of performing various essential experiments on crude oil, volatile oil, and gas condensate.

Figure 1. PVT 300/700 FV EDU apparatus with a capacity of 300 ml and pressure up to 700 bar

🔎Why Choose PVT 300/700 FV EDU?

PVT 300/700 FV EDU is specifically designed for educational purposes, but it retains analytical capabilities equivalent to our flagship product, PVT FV. The difference lies in the reduced pressure/volume ratio and lower automation level (automatic rotating mechanism, automated pneumatic valves).

🔹 Full Visibility Cell: All analysis processes can be directly observed through a full-capacity visual cell, providing an interactive and in-depth learning experience.

🔹 Multifunctional and Highly Precise: This tool can be used for various essential types of experiments, such as:

  • Constant Compositional Expansion (CCE)
  • Constant Compositional Depletion (CCD)
  • Separator Test
  • Differential Vaporization
  • Fluid Envelop Phase
  • Constant Volume Depletion (CVD)

🎯Measurement Accuracy

PVT 300/700 FV EDU is designed to deliver precise and reliable data, with the following measurement specifications:

  • Pressure: 0,1 bar
  • Temperature: ±0,1°C
  • Liquid deposit: 0,005 ml
  • Bubble/dew point repeatability: ±0,35 bar
  • Resisting corrosive abilities CO₂ and H₂S

⚙️Key Technical Specifications

  • Maximum Pressure: 700 bar
  • Maximum operating temperature: up to 180°C
  • PVT cell volume: 300 ml
  • Visual Volume: 300ml

PVT 300/700 FV EDU is equipped with a digital data acquisition and processing system, calibrated pressure and temperature sensors, as well as automatic valves and a control panel. These features make it ideal for use in academic laboratories, petroleum research centers, and technical training institutions.

🧪 OGRINDO Personnel Are Trained in Operating PVT 300/700 FV EDU

As part of OGRINDO’s commitment to ensuring internal technical competence, our personnel have participated in intensive training for operating the PVT 300/700 FV EDU facilitated by Petroleum Engineering Study Program, Bandung Institute of Technology. This training provided hands-on experience in operating the tool and understanding its application in practical reservoir fluid analysis.
