Phase Behavior of Petroleum Reservoir Fluids

<p>Developed in conjunction with several oil companies using experimental data for real reservoir fluids <b>Phase Behavior of Petroleum Reservoir Fluids</b> introduces industry standard methods for modeling the phase behavior of petroleum reservoir fluids at different stages in the process. Keeping mathematics to a minimum this book discusses sampling characterization compositional analyses and equations of state used to simulate various pressure–volume–temperature (PVT) properties of reservoir fluids. The Third Edition has been updated throughout.</p><ul> <p> </p> <li>Reflects advances in equation of state modeling for reservoir fluids and CO2-rich fluids</li> <p> </p> <li>Presents association models along with non-classical mixing rules for handling fluids with aqueous components</li> <p> </p> <li>Has an extended coverage of reservoir fluid communication energy properties and asphaltene precipitation</li> <p> </p> <li>Provides practical knowledge essential for achieving optimal design and cost-effective operations in a petroleum processing plant</li> </ul><p>This book offers engineers working in the energy sector a solid understanding of the phase behavior of the various fluids present in a petroleum reservoir.</p>
