Summary:³Oil formation volume factor at pressures below the
absolute average error of approximately 2%.
all these correlations have limitations in predicting the
an absolute average error of 1 1.7%. Our approach in
analysis of the most popular correlations in the petroleum
available. Our only recourse in such cases is the use of
average error of 8.4%. A similar reduced variables approach
average error on the order of 4%. Similarly, correlating
behavior of Rs and Bo at pressures below the bubble-point.
