Annotation:

Reservoir temperature is known to rise with increasing depth of productive layers. There are many fields, the reservoir temperature of which exceeds the upper limits of the applicability of the correlation equations for determining the properties of oil. The purpose of this work is to analyze the possibility of using various dependencies to determine the bubble point pressure and the formation volume factor for fields with reservoir temperatures above 100 °C. Calculations of oil parameters for 6 different correlations were made and the results were analyzed.
