Abstract

As part of a major project on studying the transportation of gas-to-liquids (GTL) through the existing Trans Alaska Pipeline System (TAPS), the density and viscosity of GTL and the Alaskan North Slope Crude (ANSC) and their blends were measured. All density and viscosity measurements were performed, using the Anton-Paar vibrating tube densitometer and a cone and plate viscometer respectively, at temperatures ranging from 20°C to 60°C at atmospheric pressure. The accuracy of the measured data has been ascertained. In addition to the density and viscosity data, other data reported for GTL and ANSC include compositions. Finally, generalized density and viscosity correlations for the measured data are presented.
