PENENTUAN PERSAMAAN EMPIRIS KORELASI WATER CUT HASIL PRODUK CONDENSATE DENGAN TEMPERATUR DAN BUKAAN VALVE PADA PROSES FIN FAN COOLER DI FASILITAS TEST STATION

Abstract

Oils production tends to decline in line with the ability of the oil wells that have been in operation long enough. However the growing demand of oil needs required the improvement of new method for oil recovery. The research as purposes to know opening valve and temperature effect with output condensate product and water cut, hydrocarbons composition in condensate product and determine empiric equations of condensate product and water cut at fin fan cooler facility. Sample had been taken step by step with temperature (700, 800, 850, 900, 950 and 1000F) and opening valve variation (75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95% and 100%), after tuning and calibration on temperature control valve. The data analysis and graphics represented that increase opening valve and temperature has significant effect with output condensate product and water cut. But the composition of hydrocarbon in condensate product doesn’t show significant effect. Regression analysis in the determination of empiric equation corellation condensate product and water cut to produce equations: Y1 = -0.40545 + 0.00369 X1 + 0.00548 X2. Y2 = 1.4055 - 0.0037 X1 - 0.0055 X2. Remark: Y1 = Condensate (% volume), Y2 = Water cut (% volume), X1 = Valve Open (%), X2 = Temperature (oF).
