Abstract

Processes of degasification within a crude petroleum pool are considered, as well as the loss of additional low-molecular weight components due to development of the pool, with respect to the deviation of the crude from an equilibrium composition. A relation is presented that describes the degasification process. A mathematical model describing the component composition was developed. It allows calculation of the degree of decompensation (degree of loss due to degasification). The relationship of normal distribution of organic components in crude oil fractions according to the boiling points was found to be universal in application not only to oils from different regions and different compositions, but also of constituents of each particular crude - from methane to asphaltenes.
