Covers recent advances in pressure-volume-temperature (PVT) analysis of petroleum reservoir fluids, explains fundamentals, and presents conventional and new methods of determining fluid properties for engineering applications. Although emphasis is on the application of PVT and phase behavior data to engineering problems, experimental methods are also reviewed and their limitations identified. Contains chapters on phase behavior fundamentals, PVT tests and correlations, phase equilibria, equations of state, phase behavior calculations, fluid characteristics, gas injection, interfacial tension, and applications in reservoir simulation. Includes chapter exercises. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
