Overview
The gas and oil saturation feature is disabled by default in OLI Studio: ScaleChem. This is because saturating gases or oils can be complex, and improvements to the calculation method are planned for future updates.
However, many gas and hydrocarbon samples are reported on a "Dry" basis. That means the measurement technique removed water from the analysis. For an accurate representation of the sample, you may require this calculation. You can manually enable the feature by following these steps:
1. Open the Tools Menu
Go to the top menu bar, click Tools, then select Options...
2. Enable Saturation Option
In the Options window, find and check the box labeled:
Enable saturation option for oil and gas analysis
3. Use the Saturation Feature
Once enabled, the saturation option will be available in your analysis.
Conclusion
While the gas and oil saturation feature remains disabled by default to maintain computational simplicity and accuracy, users who require a full-fluid representation—especially when working with dry basis data—have the option to enable it. Activating this capability empowers users to simulate real-world conditions more effectively, enhancing the reliability of scaling and compatibility predictions. As OLI continues to refine this function in future releases, users can expect even more robust tools to meet the evolving challenges of complex fluid systems.
