Abstract
The viscosity of normal alkanes, their mixtures, and true boiling
point (TBP) fractions (C (sub 6) -C (sub 19)) of four North Sea
petroleum reservoir fluids have been measured by use of an
automatic rolling ball mixroviscometer at 20°C. The equipment is
specially suited for samples of limited amount as only 120 to 2500
micro l. is required depending on the viscosity range. The
densities of the fluids were also determined. The accuracy of
these measurements is ascertained and compared with literature
data on n-alkane mixtures. The data reported for reservoir fluids
includes molecular weights as well as density. Finally,
generalized viscosity correlations for the C (sub 6) to C (sub 19)
fractions are discussed.
