Phase Behavior of Petroleum Reservoir Fluids

This book introduces industry standard methods for modeling the phase behavior of petroleum reservoir fluids at different stages in the process. Featuring new figures, references, and updates throughout, this edition adds simulation results for PVT data obtained with the PC-SAFT equation, describes routine and EOR PVT experiments with enhanced procedural detail, and expands coverage of sampling, compositional analyses, and measurement of PVT data. It provides practical knowledge essential for achieving optimal production of reservoir fluids, and cost-effective design and operations of pipelines and petroleum processing plants.
