Equivalent volume of steam injected - Myhill and Stegemeier

Input(s)

CwC_{w}: Specific Heat of Water Steam (BTU/lb K)

TsbT_{s b}: Steam Temperature at Boiler Outlet (K)

TaT_{a}: Ambient Temperature (K)

fsbf_{s b}: Steam Quality (fraction)

LvbL_{v b}: Latent Heat of Vaporization (BTU/lb)

TiT_{i}: Downhole Steam Injection Temperature (K)

ToT_{o}: Input Temperature (K)

fvdhf_{v d h}: Quality of Steam Downhole (fraction)

LvdhL_{v d h}: Latent Heat of Vaporization Downhole (BTU/lb)

Output(s)

Ws,eqW_{s, e q}: Equivalent Volume of Steam (bbl)

Formula(s)

Ws,eq=2.853(106)(Cw( TsbTa)+fsb LvbCw( TiTo)+fvdh Lvdh)\mathrm{W}_{\mathrm{s}, \mathrm{eq}}=2.853 *\left(10^{-6}\right) *\left(\frac{\mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{w}} *\left(\mathrm{~T}_{\mathrm{sb}}-\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{a}}\right)+\mathrm{f}_{\mathrm{sb}} * \mathrm{~L}_{\mathrm{vb}}}{\mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{w}} *\left(\mathrm{~T}_{\mathrm{i}}-\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{o}}\right)+\mathrm{f}_{\mathrm{vdh}} * \mathrm{~L}_{\mathrm{vdh}}}\right)
