From Organic Geochemistry to Statistical Thermodynamics: the Development of Simulation Methods for the Petroleum Industry

Abstract: Résumé -De la géochimie organique à la thermodynamique statistique : développement de méthodes de simulation pour l'industrie pétrolière -Le travail présenté constitue une synthèse des travaux auxquels l'auteur a contribué successivement dans trois domaines de recherche appliquée. Le premier de ces domaines est la géochimie organique pétrolière, qui se donne pour objectif de comprendre la formation des gisements pétroliers à partir d'analyses détaillées de la composition des combustibles fossiles, de simulatio… Show more

“…The critical temperature for 1-octadecene from the simulations was estimated using a density scaling law [60] while the critical density was estimated using the law of rectilinear diameters [61]. The estimated critical density for 1-octadecene of 0.227, 0.221 and 0.224 g/cm 3 for the NERD, TraPPE and SA1 force fields, respectively, all compare favourably with the extrapolated critical density of 0.227 g/cm 3 of Wakeham et al [62]. However, while the estimated critical temperatures of 744 and 742 K for the NERD and TraPPE force fields, respectively, are in reasonable agreement with the experimental value of 748 K determined by Nitikin and Popov using a pulse-heating technique [63], the estimated critical temperature for 1-octadecene from the SA1 force field off 777 K is in substantial disagreement with the experimental value.…”

“…Within the computational biochemistry, structural characteristic are in the centre of attention while the macroscopic thermodynamic properties are of secondary importance. With respect to the range of temperatures and pressures applied in chemical industry, several force-field sets were designed to describe the behaviour of various classes of organic substances at wide range of conditions [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19]. Within the petrochemical applications, the molecular simulations became popular in order to predict the behaviour of systems at high pressures or systems containing unstable, hypothetical or dangerous compounds.…”

“…In addition, recent progress in the field of molecular simulation has led to the development of force fields capable of dealing with charged and associating compounds such as carboxylic acids . Molecular simulation offers an ideal tool for obtaining VLE data in an efficient and cost-effective manner, , and in the long-term it offers the possibility of replacing expensive laboratory measurements.…”
