An FCM displacement is to be designed in which a slug of butane is the primary displacing solvent. The Butane slug is to be displaced by dry gas consisting essentially of methane. Assume that the crude oil is represented, in a phase-behavior sense, by n-Decane and reservoir conditions are 160°F and 2,500 psi. The data presented in figures below are assumed to apply. Determine whether miscible conditions would exist at the front and back of the solvent (Butane) slug. Explain according to the two figures below. 100% C, 6,000 -Dew Point Une (Saturated Vapor) Two Phase Region 5,000 Plat Point 4,000 Bubble Point Une (Saturated Liquid) 3,000 2,000 1,000 100% C10 Ethane Propane 100% n-Butane n-Pentane Heotane n-Decane Hexon Fig. 6.10-Phase relations (mol%) for methane/n-butane/dec- ane system at 160°F and 2,500 psia (from Hutchinson and Braun7). -200 -100 100 200 300 Temperature, "F 400 500 600 700 Fig. 6.4-Critical loci of binary n-paraffin systems (from Brown et al. ).
